                    1. Glamour (is it a bike or a freakin' fashion mag)

                    • I think this thread should survey on brand names and model names separately. For example, Apache is a great name, but TVS is not ( my opinion ).

                      I think as a brand name the following are the best.
                      1. Yezdi
                      2. Norton
                      3. Suzuki
                      4. Aprilla

                      As model names, in my opinion, bikes, for that matter any vehicle would be best named after non living mobile objects. Letters and numbers also work well. My list is
                      1. Bullet
                      2. RD350
                      3. Pulsar
                      4. 150 ( remember Bajaj chetak's big brother ?)

                      I personally believe giving superlative names to vehicles is not cool. Nor do abstract nouns. Cant believe some big heads in Hero Honda actually churned out the name "Ambition" for a bike. In my opinion, the worst names are
                      Ambition, Passion, Glamour, Star, Platina, Hunk, Stunner etc. And I hate to admit this, for a super cool bike and brand name , Yezdi Roadking has a really uncool model name. RoadKing (??!!).
                      I think some day Bajaj or Hero Honda would name bike as Brilliant, Excellent etc.
