It seems that my Street 750 is female. I have not settled on what her name is yet. Friends think her name is Rhoda, which means Rose. Need to name her soon.

What is the gender and name of your bike?

I've already name my Street 500 "Stella" from the Marlon Brando movie.

I like it, a good pick. I had a great ride this morning hope you are enjoying your bike.

I've been riding my street 500 every day and some days have been riding it twice a day.

You'll have to make sure you yell, "Stelllllllllaaaaaaaa" at some point.

Do most people think of their bikes as female? Are people nervous about riding a guy around town all day?

Its more about being against disposition than "nerves"

‘Black Betty’ by Ram Jam, was another name I thought of for the HD Street. Cation: Do not listen to this song when ridding at 55-mph on a Street 750, you may think you're with the Sons of Anarchy.

Such a great song for riding though! Makes a great name for the bike too. I could see that name put on the Street with a graphic. It would look really nice if done right. Feel like I can't steal the name now though since I know someone else came up with it first.

So I have arrived at a name, Layla, as in the song by Eric Clapton of Derek And The Dominos. The name is derived from the tri-consonantal root: ל-י-ל (Lamedh-Yodh-Lamedh) L-Y-L and means "night"; over time it has been taken to mean "Born at Night," "Dark-haired Beauty" or "Dark Beauty." My bike is Layla, the dark beauty.

It was Eric Clapton's nickname for Pattie Boyd Harrison, after the Leila in the Arab love story "Layla and Majnun". Clapton felt his love for Pattie was hopeless, like Majnun's love for Layla, because she was married to his best friend, George Harrison. He wrote this song for her.

Layla & Majnu songs and stories we hear all the time in India. Nice name....!!!

@HarleyVest why did you edit my post and put some different music video in it?

 

[OldDawg]

I finally named my machine. I gave it a lot of thought and had to do some investigation to determine her name.
Now stay with me here and explain it to you.

I wanted to name her something that implied speed,quickness,and beauty.
I considered Black Widow(but blackwidows aren't really pretty) but that didn't strike me as a good personable name. Then I thought of the Black Widow in the Iron Man movie. She was one hot, fast, slick,bad-azz babe.
She was as pretty as they come and was simply someone you didn't want to screw with.
Sooooo,.....I looked up her name in the IronMan movies 1 and 2.
IronMan 1 her name was Natalie Rushman and in IronMan 2 her name was Natasha Romanoff.
I settled on Natalie.
My Harley 750 Street (BlackWidow) is named "Natalie" so that leaves Natasha still vacant if anybody wants it.
Natalie is one Hot Babe and so is Scarlet Johanson.

My Street 750's name is Jolene. I got the name from the Dolly Parton song. I envision my wife singing to Jolene and pleading, "Please don't take my man.".

My bike is a male, LaVerne will NOT straddle a female, it not going to happen. So far I call him my little beast. My son has much bigger Harley than I do. I told him that I was going to call him The Black Beast, he said mom, black it is, a beast it not, I said okkkkkkkkkk, then I will call it my little beast, he said, little it is, a beast it not, lol, forget him what do he know. All I know is a the bike rally everyone stopped and stared at my little beast. So unless another name come to me...My little beast is his name.

Sounds like an excellent name, have a good new year with her.

Did a 200 mile ride on Saturday with some friends. Sophie did just fine. A little cool out; but otherwise a great day. I am a member of a local scooter club named Midsouth Scooter Collective. Most members have both scooters and motorcycle, however I traded my scooter for the Street 500.
