      Best:
      1) Pulsar (although cliched, it sounds unique and international)
      2) Apache specially RTR
      3) Thunderbird/Machismo (all bullets)
      4) Gladiator (something very powerful in this name)
      5) Unicorn (anything teamed with honda sounds great + unicorn a flying stallion)

      Worst:

      1) Karizma (zma would have been better)
      2) Wind (as in fart??)
      3) Hunk (not for a bike)
      4) Passion/Splendor/Ambition (HH, are you selling bikes or condoms?)
      5) BYK (imagine the r&d on this bike)

        The Karizma should have been launched by HMSI as the Honda CRF230. Too bad t was launched by HH with such a shitty name.HH had to leave their stain on the bike[referring to the shitty names they've been giving to their bikes] Heck even ZMA sounds better. ZMR wins it for me.

        Among the best names for bikes are Thunderbird, Electra, Machismo, Avenger, Interceptor, Explorer, Gladiator[sounds like a mammoth cruiser],Eliminator, YZF-R, Fazer, RTR[just loved the 3 letters]

              Cos the name explorer it did not suit this particular bike. It was too lil and teeny weeny to explore anything on.

                      well this doesnt seem fair when u have to write only 5 names
                      but as its no compulsion i will write more

                      HH
                      Best : CBZ, KARIZMA ( initially hated Karizma untill learnt to pronunciated it with style KARIZZZZZZZZZZZZZMA and cant stop saying whenever it blown past me), Passion(irrespective of what people say the bikes name suited its campaign than in 2000 and certainly was a small parting reason for its success

                      Worst : all other except Splendor cos it was launched in early 90s and i dont think u expected a r15 name than

                      Bajaj
                      Best : Pulsar, caliber, eliminator, avenger, legend, caliber croma,
                      Worst : byk, krystal, wave, boxer, wind,

                      TVS
                      Best : fiero, apache, scooty
                      worst: star, CENTRA

                      Others
                      BEST : grapter, GF125/laser, FZ , beamer, rx100 , RXZ, NOVA,dio

                      worst : R15 (dont get shocked i seriously dont like the name), boss, velocity, shine, unicorn , activa,


                      i dont think i need to write that all enfield name are so filled with attitude and dont need my insignificantly idiotic writings.( do they have a naming dept.)

                            I am surprised many people don't know that Karizma is stylish name for Charisma as in charismatic appeal!
                            People think it is taken from Karishma!!
