Motorcycle Genders??

I was just reading tybolt99's thread wherein he refers to his Kaw as a "her".

What do you GUYS think? Is a Honda a Hilda? Is a Harley asexual? I generally refer to Kawasaki Motors as Ma Kaw.

Is it that we've always ridden bikes that... never mind!

Any way. Are ALL motorcycles female? Can you give me a marque that is masculine?

Given that I've already pronounced all Hardleys as asexual, so go with at least that much.

Hmmmm....my 650 is nicknamed "Ace" so it's gotta be a guy....although the stock paint, being named "Stardust Silver Metallic" is kinda fem.....no, it's a guy, no question. I just get "guy" vibes from it.
My Bandit is definitely male, no question.
My H2 is nicknamed "Le Grand Orange" for the paint job and "le" in French is their masculine version of our "the" so I
guess it's a male....although it CAN be very moody like a woman.
I'm not sure about my GT550 Suzook, which has the factory nickname of "Indy", although it does APPEAR to have a fem side. More thought is required on this one.
KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".
H2A Built from a genuine basket case. Yes,it's a hot rod.
GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.
2006 Bandit 1200S for easy LD rapid transit
Various H2 projects in the wings.

My 1000 stinks, farts and burps and leaks on the road too much to be a woman...and if it's a man it's a viking man because it has no manners and just wants to rape and pillage.

Well, I had "it" at first. Changed to "her" and looked better.

Mine is a boy (Spike) although I sometimes refer to him as a her.

It's a bit like David Bowie, bad ass but effeminate and beutiful.

Think of it this way....

Remember that horrible/crappy show, Night Rider :X (or whatever it was called) with David Hasslehoft.... :X :X

Did you really think the cars voice was manly? :blink:

Well I'd rather think of my old KZ as female, mean ass bitch, otherwise I'd have what, kit, peaches, smootches, rasberry ass, thane, prision biatch etc...

Besides, you want your bike to call out and say in a manly rough and tuff bikers voice... "Hey, climb on board & ride me big boy.." :blink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No thanks, beautiful lines and curves with an attitude... Just like my wife... :S
