Well we've all kidded around about it or speculated about it, but have any of you picked out a name for your bike? Let's see what you got? Personally I haven't named mine yet, and probably won't until I've spent some time in the saddle.

I got a pretty decent slogan though.

Yamaha Super Tenere... XTZ is ecstasy

Kinda funny that this thread popped up. Just yesterday I was thinking that I should name mine. Of all the bikes I have owned, I have never named one. Not sure why this is different. Maybe all the waiting....

I tend to name all my stuff. I think this one is gonna be .... Mr. T. He's big, black and mean. And, of course, he's already a T. R

Yeah, with all of the waiting and the multiple delivery date promises, kind of like a tease...... I'm thinking of naming my impact blue S10 "blue balls"

You guys have come up with some good ones. I saw one guy that was calling his the Blue Rhino, but that made me think of propane. Those that grill know what I mean. I think the reason some feel the urge to name this bike is due to the fact that it was so anticipated and so long arriving, that it is much like an expected child.

I was thinking of giving mine a girls name...and then I thought, she'll only bitch that, "I never call her" or.... "All you ever want to do is ride me" or.... "You never take me anywhere I want to go."

Now really who needs that?!? ;D

How about "Blue Bayou" for the sake of all the (slow) Raven Black owners here.

:D

I think I'd prefer Black Bog to Blue Bayou. R

This is my Super Tenere. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My Super Tenere is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My Super Tenere, without me, is useless. Without my Tenere, I am useless. I must ride my Tenere true. I must ride straighter than the cager who is trying to kill me. I must pass him before he passes me. I will...

My bikes usually get their names right around the time when something breaks.
