Even the kids go wow by pronuncing Karizma as Karizma. I am wondering how can people who grown-up cannot pronounce the word exactly. Seems they are having problem with pronucing words or they are so obsessed with Karishma, Kareena, or Katrina (of course nothing wrong in it).

Once more I quote these words.

@Shanz kudos bro for your peace effort. Here I am adding my favorite 5 imported bike names, I cant think of 5 of the worst names though:

5 Best imported bike names:

1) Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade
2) Yamaha YZF R1
3) Harley Davidson V-Rod
4) Kawasaki Ninja
5) Suzuki Katana.

**nirvan** · 09-18-2009, 12:19 AM

My take is somewhat influenced by my opinion of the final product in some cases.

Best names:

1. Bullet
2. Falcon
3. RX 100
4. RD350
5. R15

(Yeah, I'm a Yammie fan).

Worst names:

1. Adreno
2. Graptor
3. Passion
4. Hunk
5. Karizma
6. Discover
7. Platina
8. Glamour
9. Achiever
10. Fiero
11. The newer RE model names don't make sense to me, Electra, Machismo, et al.

I guess I could go on and on, lol.

(I own a ZMA and love it but hate the name

so much, I'm almost ashamed to say it out loud).

I personally prefer an incongruous name that identifies with the world-wide model name where possible. RX-100/135/Z sounds much better than a grandiose name like Gladiator/Libero, lol.

**shadabk01** · 09-18-2009, 04:10 PM

5 Worst Name:

PUCH
LUNA
KARIZMA
CHETAK
GLAMOUR

5 Best Name:

NINJA
BULLET
THUNDERBIRD
AVENGER
RD 350

**shaikan** · 09-20-2009, 02:28 PM

My opinion :

Best
Bullet
ThunderBird
Pulsar
Apache
Samurai

Worst
BYK ( WOW a bike named BYK I will book one today

)
Puch ( really I could never get the pronunciation right and always thought it sounded stupid )
Star City ( come again which city ?

)
Hunk ( Imagine telling some one you went for ride on you hunk

)
Karizma ( Too gay a name for such a good bike

)

speaking more about "Karizma" I remember i hated it when it was launched
It reminded me of Karishma Kapoor who i really disliked and even though
I knew the name was a bastardization of "Charisma" I ended up hating the bike just cause of the name
