Naming my bike, 007 edition

    I'm trying to decide on a name for my bike. It's a black 2008 Suzuki GZ250. Also, I'm a huge James Bond fan. I've read 11 out of the 14 books. So naturally I'm leaning towards a Bond girl name for my bike.

    • Vesper
    • Kissy Suzuki
    I'm leaning towards Vesper because she's one of my favorites. But Kissy Suzuki is pretty hilarious.

    So what do you think is a good name? What have you named your bike?

    Kissy seems like a no-brainer. Vesper is too close to Vespa and you don't want anyone to think you're talkin about a scooter. I like May Day and Jinx too.

    I used to call my Stratoliner 'The Beast'. As soon as it's outta the paint shop it'll be black on yellow - inspired by the Bumble Bee Camaro - so I'm renaming to 'The Bumble Beast'.

    Make sure you let us all know when you make your choice.

    I like Honey Ryder from Dr No too.

    or you could always introduce it as  "Cycle... Motorcycle"

    Rlibrandi, the Bumble Beast is a great name! Hope to see a photo of the new paint job.

    Although Honey Ryder is an excellent suggestion, think I'll stick with Vesper but probably used the full name of Vesper Lynd to hopefully absolve any confusions.

    It's a GZ250! Almost a Vesper already.

    Yep, so close to a scooter should have got one instead.
