What is your bike's name? Is it always she?

I haven't named any of my trucks or bikes. I don't know why but I just find it stupid and don't see the point. No offense to anyone who has. Not trying to start a fight just a personal preference I guess. And it always annoys me when people refer to their vehicle/bike as a she or a he. It is not a person. It is a piece of equipment. Don't get me wrong I love my bike and truck. My girlfriend says I love them more than her which is not true. It's about equal , j/k but yeah my bike is my bike, not a boy nor a girl just my awesome bike.
I agree with this. My bikes will never have a name and will never be a she. I see them as machines. My 600 F4i goes by, F4i or the yellow one. My 600RR goes by, the white one, the new one or simply the RR.

Philosophical question for those saying it's a machine: do you think your bike "speaks" to you? Some said the bikes have different "personalities", which is a simple way of describing the minute manufacturing differences and the effect they have on operations.
But does it "speak"? Let yo know that last batch of gas was just a little off, the front tire pressure is down a PS I or so?

When you get your first bike you bond to it massively, name it, coddle it, etc.
When you get your second bike you treat it somewhat like your first bike due partly to it being usually a much nicer bike and out of habit.
By the time you get your 6th+ bike... you've pretty much stopped all the cutesy stuff and they're basically just tools that allow you to ride. Yeah, they have personalities and quirks, and yeah you still bond to them and take care of them. But they're just tools. If I wanted something to name I'd get another puppy.
