              He he he. Thought of posting it before. But, I know it would go in vain. Those who do not like that name, cannot pronunce it properly
              HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler
              Honda Aviator || Kinetic Flyte || Kinetic Blaze || HH Splendor

                My take on the names

                Best 5 -
                1. Thunderbird- matches the exhaust note of the bike - like thunder .
                2. Discover- could signify the discovery of motorbiking as a means of enjoyment.
                3. Passion - what is life without passion and passionate motorcycling?
                4. Apache- tough guys ride tough bikes
                5. Pulsar- like a shooting star in the sky , zoom through
                Worst 5-
                1. Bullet STD - no prizes for guessing the full form of STD
                2. CBR1000RR- in a few years the subsequent variants will be named RRRCBRRR1000RRRR ....
                3. Gladiator - okay the movie was good but to copy the name - could have called it (Quick Gun) Murugan
                4. Dawn -" Dawn underwear and banyan, Jyada Chale aur de aaram" is what the jingle said - a mobike name ?
                5. Heat - one hears of season time for animals to be in "heat"

                        With all due respect to the bike, I really wish it was called a CB220 or a CB220Z instead of Karizma. I really hope the creatives in HH give the new iteration a name that it deserves like a ZM220 or a ZMR220 even. Something like that rather than Karishma, Kareena Katrina whatever.

                              1-FireBlade
                              2-Thundercat(YZF 600)
                              3-Ninja

                              5-Hellcat

                              There are many more like V-rod,Thunderbird,Katana,Hayabusa,etc.

                              Worst:
                              1:Karizma [is that a bike name?]
                              2:Passion
                              3:Hunk
                              4:Pleasure
                              5:Heat.
                              And more like Boss,Dawn,etc

                              Reading the HH names feels like a gay parade!
                              I agree with this
