"Blue Max" here after the WWI movie about fighter pilots battling the "Red Barron" or maybe because it's Blue and big. My wife named her and
she goes like hell, so does my bike ...

Ahab - Desert CB handle for years, suits the bike perfectly. Once completion of "Bug Out Vehicle," upgrades are complete it will be a desert wondering camel set to wander without looking back.

Well, after much discussion ... we have decided that "Eeyore" works the best.
... Not much of a name; ... just right for not much of a rider ...

The blue Tenere is known as...The Blue Bike.
The raven Tenere is known as...The Black Bike.

Often we shorten those names to "your bike" or "my bike." That's a close to a name as we've ever come to a formal name on any of our bikes.

My VFR 800 was named Alice - after the mascot of my beloved Crimson Tide, Big Al (she was crimson in color).

Haven't settled on a name for the S10 yet. one of my friends calls it The Dime - but I'm still waiting for the right name to occur.

My Raven Tenere is called affectionately "Black Beauty". Every black bike I have had was called that so I just reuse the name... ::025::
