Has your RT got a name?
Over 40 plus years of riding bikes ive often thought it was strange to name an object. Car drivers seem to name their cars, my Dad had a 1960 VW camper called Bertha. It seems all RE Himilan owners name their bikes. I know we all love our RT bikes problem or not. So what do you call yours?

Re: Has your RT got a name?
Having 8 bikes in the garage, i can't just say "The Bike".
So they each have there own name. It also helps when having 2 SV650s and 2 Hayabusa.
The RT was so simple to name as its sound like it anyway when you say RT.
So mine is called "Artie"

Re: Has your RT got a name?
I can see your point… the only bike I’ve ever named was the HondaMAC ST1100 which, after the first ride, I christened ‘Benny the Barge’ as it felt like I was trying to steer a narrowboat.
After a while I got used to it, and they can be chucked around very well, but the name stuck!
