What do you have and what do you call them?
I am just curious. In my case I have an 1800 VTX called the "X" and the ZX14r dubbed the "14"...

13 zx14r - Delilah / Nasty Cruzr
03 Super Sherpa - Shep
78 KZ 650 - the Kamikaze 650
03 Suzuki Bandit 1200s(traded in for the 14r) - el Bandito
76 ke 100 - Key Hundo
83 shovelhead - Bear
?? Rupp mini bike - Rupp
I ride most of them regularly

I just cleaned carbs and did a tuneup yesterday on an 83 750 midnight maxim for my uncle. Not a bad ol' machine. It was kinda sexy in it own right, all blacked out with gold trim.
There is no such thing as owning too many motorcycles!

Phantom -- that was me who suggested Casper. I guess I need to get more creative with bikes names... I have actually taking to calling the 14, Sexy Death ona Cracker (SDOC)on Facebook LOL
...Or maybe I should call my 14, Sexy Cracker on Death LOL , Oh I crack me up.
Okie -- man you kill me all the time! I love the way Harley's sound but it stops there for me. I sat on a V-Rod once and it felt like a heavy moped. That was literally the 1st thing that popped into my mind. I have to admit I always loved the way Fatboy's look... but after owning my VTX 1800, there is no way I could be happy with one.

I only became a multi-bike owner last week. I never have gotten into the "naming" thing, until now.
I have a 6-year-old son that's a huge NinjaGo fan. When I told him that I was getting a 14, and it came in the same colors as the NinjaGo characters, he wanted to name it after whatever ninja matched the bike's color. I got a green 14, so the bike became "Lloyd". :)
My other bike is a 2011 Husqvarna TE630. My friend and I are always quoting lines from Dumb & Dumber. So, with the Lloyd branded 14, the Husky picked up the name "Harry."

I've never actually named my bikes, but I refer to them as Ape, Sprint, and ZedX.
Here's a link to them in their natural habitat ... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21330911&postcount=142

ST-1300. I call the ST my "long distance bike" and the 14r my "fast bike." Not too creative I realize. But then again, just got back from a 270 mile ride on my "fast bike." Too busy riding to come up with cute names.

I have 3 bikes and I am the original sentimental owner of the older Kawasakis.
A 1988 Ninja 600r
A 1994 ZX11
And now a brand new 2013 ZX14R which now makes me just a motorcyclist as opposed to an old school motorcyclist. For the benefit of my lady, I just call them by their colors.

Thanks guys I try to make em look as good as they run, got all of em lit up just didnt take the pic of the other two, got the Hayabusa from a good friend, said it was just too much bike, bought the 9 brand new in 97. Kinda wish the 1300 was a zx12, those some good looking bikes. I changed the gauge lights to blue on the 14 to match the rest, the orange and blue just didnt match good enough, lol.

My nephew and I built so many bikes, I had to keep up with the names and who needed what when he brought stuff over. The first bike was called 'Dutchy' because he bought a replica front end from Holland. He totaled that, bought the bike back and kept the engine. So this was the evo and I called it 'Bulletproof' because it keeps running and is his daily driver. He then puts a shovelhead together and I coined it 'Shovelicious' whereas he sold that and took the money to buy a panhead. I have yet to name it, nor he.
I have no names for 3 of my other bikes, whereas the 14's continue to be called 'mules 1,2 and 3' for all the climbing on and off of the saddle and fixing some loose stir up some wattage on them.

Bobby,
The old lady and I are on the freeway and here comes a H-D with the same lights in blue or green? It matched his bike. If you can't see that coming at night and you hit it, that is not manslaughter. That's justupid'uh!

Boyz lights, awesome night visibility...
My boy AJS introduced me to green running lights, they look sharp.
Pan head, at this point any second bike is a welcomed addition...
Bobby I saw a Busa last night while I was out, there is just so many cool things you can do with them...

Hub- I try to give 4 wheelers every opportunity not to do something stupid, but in todays world of texting while driving i dont think a spotlight on my bike would help sometimes.
wolfman- the after market is so extensive for those bikes its crazy, suzuki did a hell of a marketing job on those bikes, but I kinda like the quiet kid that doesn't brag alot but just shows you what he can do, GOTTA LOVE A KAW!!!
Im not sold on a Harley just yet because the Goldwing does everything plus some and you can still get through Deals Gap on one like a sport bike, aint seen a vid of a Harley doing that yet ;)
