Question Has anyone named their bike?

[Bcsmith]

So as I bought my bike March 2020 when we were hit with covid I raced to the dealership threw down the cash loaded her into covered trailer brought her home and named her the “COVID-19 RIDER”

Katie.

Every Katie I've ever known is upbeat and optimistic. That's how this bike feels to me; like it just wants to go places!

 

[brb]

"The Little Engine That Could" because of every big hill and everyone else has checked out. I can hear the bike saying "I think i can. I think i can.I think i can" and I really dig that power plant.

I struggled with a name for my
'23 NC750X, but I think because of the magical qualities of this bike I shall dub thee, Merlin!
Whadda ya'll think?

My wife only sees me with the bike when I'm working on it, so she thinks I've named it "God D@#nit"

My Little Mule. She has been pretty sure footed for me and doesn't care if I load her down with camping gear.

Previous bike wasn't number 6, it was called the Red Baron
Before number 6 was, "Martha" my second wife. My real wife named it for certain reasons.

You have a Motus? Do you ride it much? What's it like? Any problem getting parts seeing as they went out of business 5? years ago? I would have loved to have test ridden one, but they were way too rich for my blood. Cool concept though.

 

[ST13Fred]

Yes.
I grew up in the Muscle Car era and saw the Motus as a muscle car on 2 wheels. I knew it was not ST1300 smooth; not a daily rider for me.
Bought it to own, not ride. It has 91 miles on the clock to date. Updated license plate holder, tail rack and tall clear windshield. A beast to ride with the light throttle spring.
Has the Harley firing order so is a little too wild for my blood. Would like to find a shop that could install the silky smoooth cams of the V-4 ST1300.
On the ST I adjusted the fast idle to the 1K RPM warm up setting; it is so smooth, even at a low idle cold start.

May look into a new cam setup after 2025 when the American economy begins to settle down and not so on edge. Make America Florida.

My girl is Suki. Don’t ask why, cause I ain’t sure why…..

I think the bike earns a name, if that get one. I had a Maggie once, my wife was certain Maggie was a jealous -ch.

I just recently brought home a 2020 NC750XD and found myself explaining it to a buddy as an almost anti-HarleyDavidson type bike. So, that morphed into Aunty Harley, or simply “Aunty.”
My wife definitely prefers me joking about going out with Aunty vs other random female names to make people think I have a side-chick.
Added the crash bars, bags, and rear rack. Aunty is a lovely thing.

 

[skills4lou]

What crash bars are those? I like the look.
