Names..
Names had always been of ample importance in Indian Society! The first thing which we come across anyone's personality is his/her name. Names signifies how the person can be,name builds a very first initial impression. We held functions and rituals to name our kids. We strain our brain and think whole week off to name our pets. Every thing small or big which belongs to us and is dear to us beholds a name from us. So why not bikes! Every bike whether performing good or bad beholds a name. These names can sumtimes be good and sumtimes be worst. So today let us list down the 5 best and the 5 worst names of indian bikes (includes the SBK's and SR's launched in INDIA too)! Dont forget to pen down why u rated them best or worst.. As for me.. Best names.. 1. Fiero ( the best ever name ) 2. Apache 3. Yezdi ( another beauty in names ) 4. Rx100 5. Grapter ( I had always loved these names that y they are here,and few more names which deserves being mentioned here are YZF-R1, CBZ and NINJA ) Worst names.. 1. Karizma ( i was too young when i heard about Karizma for the first time,and my initial impression was "wow! Karishma Kapoor is so famous that they hav launched a bike on her name too. It must be a bike with her stickers all around the tank!!!" ) 2. XCD ( It took me 5 attempts to spell out the name correctly, when I finally read it properly I thought "is it a new variant of Cd100 named X Cd100,but how come from bajaj???") 3. Platina ( oh! Man thats a serious joke!! Even HH have better names than this ) 4. Shine ( that resembles the typical Indian summer sunshine,and I hate the Summers of India ) 5. Star City ( yuk! get a better combination. star and city,does it matches by any angle? ) |

Nice one this...in the Indian context,
Best 5 according to me 1. Thunderbird (what a name...as thunderous as it sounds) 2. Shogun (Japanese for "Boss"...and it was a Boss) 3. Fury (Nice name for a furious bike...pity that it was hopelessly built) 4. Pulsar (the actual meaning of this word is nice) 5. Eliminator (was in the "Punisher" synonymous mode) There are many more that are nice...like Wings (KEL, 35cc moped), KB Colt (KB RTZ second version), Bajaj Legend... Actually, I feel that the "Avenger" should have been named "Discover" to sync with its touring capabilities. Worst 5 (lots of them) 1. BYK (what!?????) 2. Ambition (is that a name for a bike?) 3. MOFA (yes...that small ubiquitous thing that enfield made) 4. Karizma (no meaning for such a class bike) 5. Passion (for apple green alloys with magenta red body???)
