Hahaha guys could not help thinking from this rather hypothetical situation which pertains to this post
Drivetimes:- buzuki motors launched their hyper sports bike buzuki bell’a today in india. The bike is fitted with a 1200cc motors which pumps a mind boggling 178 bhp. In an exclusive interview the MD of buzuki MR Misuchi Muscha said (with the twinkle in his eyes) that the bell’a is agile and swift and is the perfect epitome of beauty and power.
and if that’s not too bad picture this a macho dude comes in a pub ,chest bulging out like someone pumped helium up in his ass, strapped in racing gear orders a beer ,the bartender looks up at his with great respect and jealousy and asks him
“Which machine do you ride bro?”
The guy sips on the beer gives him a timid yet embarrassed look and says
“I ride a buzuki bell’a”
Most likely the bartender would commit a suicide hearing this.
So ya the name matters big time frens what do you all reckon?

For me names don't matter. I won't buy a moped just becoz it is called Ninja. Or I won't ignore a litre bike just becoz is it called Caliber..or even if some lilly. At least that Lilly can rip the tits off that Ninja . I'll buy a machine for the reason it makes me feel proud of owning that machine. Now it doesn't matter what name is it, it is the machine that matters.

look at the bike "Glamour" the ugliest of all bikes with awkward graphics.
and they call the same. no i am not criticizing hh.

and yes names don't matter. but in india, companies provide 'names' like unicorn instead of cb150f (correct me if i am wrong !) as in thailand (or other country ?). I don't know what drove them to do like that.

the original name for stunner / unicorn is much better. The 'stunner' is actually a very funny name. This bike turned out to be a biggest flop for honda.

Name matters a lot
Coz by hearing someone's or something's name we create its picture in our mind.

Name should go along with power and styling as far as bikes are concerned

I feel that the name matters to a certain extent. But the first thing I would look into the bike is its performance. I wouldn't buy a bike merely because it has got a fancy name.
