[Closed] What're the worst bike names?

Piglet

Raleigh Banana.

Tomac Eli.

Makes it sound like an Amish farm worker.

I like [i]Ragley Piglet[/i] as a name, it's kinda cheeky if you know what I mean.

I had a Maverick calle 'Grizelda' (spelt like that). Worst name ever.

I've also got a GT Peace 29er, 'smokin' since the 1970's' according to the decals... stupidly naff.. hippy bikes.

Ragley does it for me.

Bandit is a bit suspect

Kona WoohookooeyIamoverherelookatme

I am sure there was one called something like that. It must have been the one with the long top tube.

Tomac Eli.

Eli is Tomac's son.

handjob.

I really dislike all the double entendre type ones

stiffy, Prince Albert and so on, childish

Eli is Tomac's son.

I know.
Still Amish 😉

bloody misogynistic if you ask me TJ!

Don't some people ride round on a stifee?

Orange Five.

I really hate the Crosstrax bikes Halfords used to sell.
Mainly because we kept getting phone calls from people wanting to sue us for the shonky bikes.
I ended up writing letters to people explaining the bikes are not fit for purpose and that they should ask for their money back and get compensation. which annoyed the Halfords solicitors. lol

childish names are great, weird names are great... what isnt great is when the bike is named to suggest is awesome... carrera 'fury' for example.

Do the people who come up with these names ride bikes ?

At least with Orange is mostly numbers - not too offensive.

Raleigh Banana.

It's proper title was Raleigh 'TEAM' Banana and I loved mine like you love a puppy or a sibling.

Anything by Rose bikes...who comes up with those names?!?
TJ - the manufacturers with those double entendre model names probably wouldn't see the likes of you as their demographic.

Penny Farthing.

Pure marketing hype, they cost four pounds eight shillings and sixpence.

turn it around what would you call your own range of bikes;

Cyclo-cross
XC hardtail
All mountain full suss
Enduro Full-sus
Road bike
single speed hardtail

we had a few bikes we had made named after Indian Sundries;
The Pakora, Samosa and the Bhaji

Kona AbraCadabra

Cotic bfe

eyerideit

I had one too.

[b]Cyclo-cross[/b] Rapier
[b]XC hardtail[/b] ?katana
[b]All mountain full suss[/b] Scimitar
[b]Enduro Full-sus[/b] Claymore
[b]Road bike[/b] Épée
[b]single speed hardtail[/b] Sabre (single edge, geddit?)

Ibis Tranny. It makes it impossible to talk about riding one, swinging a leg over one and any number of derivatives there of.

Numbers as names are boring but functional, at least if they descibe a feature of the geometry etc.

Cyclo-cross Rapier
XC hardtail ?katana
All mountain full suss Scimitar
Enduro Full-sus Claymore
Road bike Épée
single speed hardtail Sabre

Nice theme. I like it 🙂

It's gotta be Pronghorn! 😆

Don't Kona make a bike called 'Shonky' ?? (just sounds crap/poorly made before you've even started eh?).

Enduro Full-sus Claymore

I like the fact that 'claymore' is a type of mine as well 🙂

I like those names, can I use them?

I had one too.

There should be a special Banana shake for former owners.

Sancho - be my guest. But if you have any XL demo 29er frames lying around, I know a good home for them 😉

Kona Sex One and Sex Two

'parently for Full Suspension Experience.....

Pronghorn, that's soooo funny, the bent top tube too, makes me think of missing the target during frantic coitus.

Inbred. 456 is far better a name and the Inbred character graphics really...how you say? Gop? I like On-One, shame about some of the visual art.

Da Bomb makes me cringe, it doesn't work in English. As do the Viper frame range names.

yeah I'm not too keen on the dready styling of the on one inbred charcater either, just smacks a bit shitty 90's eclipse jackets.

The entire Cove range if you're older than 13.
