Emma and the Scarlet Harlot are good names! They sound nice and they have meaning!
I'm still thinking of one for my bike! I'd name mine Epona but she's nowhere near as elegant!
If you're looking for something strange then try something Russian like Agrafina meaning "wild horse"

She named herself. Either wrenching or riding, she's "The Beast".
Bike before that a CB700SC was "The Hawk".
My 78 KZ650, I called her, "a $1200 motorcycle mechanic's course".
Didn't have my little CB400 long enough to give her a name.
(She was stolen in less than a year.)

The symbol I put on her nose is from a fictional group called the Glass Walkers. I've adopted their symbol as my own, and Ms. Walker seemed to fit nicely.

Exactly. I call them KLR and CBR.
My wife usually calls them "the blue bike" and "the honda bike".

You other people are weirdos.

I've named just about all my cars and m favorite bicycle but as yet I haven't named my 1000RR, although I've had it for nearly 3 years. A good name just never was found. When my wife and I are talking about it I frequently refer to it as the "put-put".

I've never named an inanimate object I have enough trouble naming pets and my kids took me till the very day the registry office would allow till! So what I'm saying is no name, it's a bike, a nice bike that I like riding but it's not worthy of the trouble it would take me to think of something appropriate!
