Ok so lets pretend you work for a big bike manufacturer and they need a name for their new model
What would you call it and why?

and 2nd question - of existing or past bikes, which do you think has the best model name or the worst name?

My bike would be called ......[b][i]SEXINATOR[/i].[/b]

As for favourite actual bike name, Stinky jumps out at me as a good one.

"the other half"

because i'd spend more time thinking about it and riding it than i would thinking about and riding 'er indoors.

so many applications too... "i'm going to take the other half out to the woods for a good thrashing tonight, just need to work out how to attach the new lights to her handlebars"

I would name an entire range after the characters from Star Trek.

I have always like the Clockwork Orange as a bike name. But then I am both a librarian and a sci-fi nerd.

My bike would be called The Wallet Botherer.

One of the best names of all time has to be the Karate Monkey purely because it is a totally meaningless and silly name. I have one and saying I'm just off for a ride on the Monkey always gets weird looks.

TNT BMX had a frame called the "Hwa Fong Daddy".

Best bike name of all time is the 2-Hip "Pork" or the G-bikes "Bitch".

I can't improve on any of those.

KHE "Catweasel" was another good one. BMX companies are much better than MTB companies.

No need to think of a name for my bike, someone already did that at the factory for me...

My Maverick Durance was christened "Medusa", as it says on the headbadge... My old ML7 as owned by mtbmaff of this forum now is called "Iridescent".

Same here, bike is often called "Stupid F*er" at times when it is all going wrong.

Best name of the past, Orange Clockwork, got to be. Worst names, anything related to gravity or going downhill fast.
