3. Energy ( Sounds like some glucose biscuit brand)
4. Flame (yeh kaisi aag lag gyi??)..
5. Freedom ( We got it in 1947...Sorry,but i can't afford anymore.This excuse'll work i think)

Some other good names are Graptor,Electra,Pulsar and then Adreno is nice too.

PS: I am not a Kinetic Fanboy.Believe me!

overall if you grade all posts .. no doubt, "KariZma" takes the crown of the worst name in indian bikes.

I wonder how it defeated 'hero puch'.....seriously 'puch' ...dont know the meaning ...... but it sounds like a rotten banana falls on ground and makes that sound.

Roflmao...
Agreed, but twisting ur tounge intentionally to call Kari'Z'ma a Karsihma or karisma, Hard to Digest...

Hehehe! I cant forget this bike. It was the first foot operated gear bike i learnt to ride. It having a god damn neutral between every gear did nt make it easy at all. No wonder i dont complain about bda gear boxes i guess.

We are talking here only the 'name'; not how the bike is. I do not see why 'Explorer' is a bad name.

My Worst names...

1 - Discover (Discovery Space Ship is there to discover new planets what does this bike discovered?)
2 - Platina (Is that the bike made of Platinum.....or something else)
3 - Ambition (Who want a bike to have an Ambition)
4 - Glamour (Is this bike made for celebrities)
5 - Achiever (Im not sure what this bike has Achieved)
6 - Dio (Is that this bike always smells better?)
7 - XCD (Not sure which thing it exceeds)
8 - Freedom (we got it some 69 years before)
9 - Puch (May be we can name it as Punch)
10 - Gladiator (Glad - He - ate - her)

My Best Names.....

1 - Bullet (One of the best name for a Bike)
2 - Apache (you can get a thought of Adrenaline while spelling this)
3 - Pulsar (Pulsater)
4 - Fiero (Another Superb Name)
5 - Flame(I like it because i own it)
6 - Stunner (Stunning name)
7 - Splendour (A splendid name)
8 - Fireblade (what a name for a bike for its kind)
9 - ThunderBird (A nice name for the bike)

my best and worst bike names

Best
Splendor (soothing name as the bike)
Yamaha All series ( R denotes domination and power)
Bullet ( none can beat it)
Honda CBR and Fire Blade Series
Shogun ( really a master piece)
Eliminator ( The Old one was really a good bike)
Activa ( smooth bike for city and stays really active)
Worst
Victor ( from which angle it looks victorous)
Passion ( it does not ignite passion at all)
Star City (It sounds more like some galli name)
Ninja ( the bike doesnt look like some ninja fighter from any angle but more like the green mask )
Apache ( sounds like a Apache or internet server)
Avenger ( it looks more like a over weight kid)
Flyte ( a cycle is better than that bike)

Puch is the name of the founder of the company. Puch had collaborated with Hero motors.
Puch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am astonished at how people exaggerate things.

@trigger : you are right, but 'Puch' is pronounced (n mistaken) as something 'bad word' in telugu, that's why AP/telugu people don't like it Observe the reaction it's from Ravi n ceasar both from AP

No, it is not a bad word in Telugu. There is no meaning for it, and it is a kinda near to akward pronunciation (not a sweet word).

So after reading all the 8 pages some midline coclusions!
