    Over the years, a lot of bikes have gained nicknames, such as the 'Plastic Maggot' (Honda CX500), the 'Kettle' (Suzuki GT750), the 'Widowmaker' (Suzuki Speed Six), the 'Lead Wing' or 'Two-Wheeled Jukebox' (Honda Gold Wing) and the 'Elsie' (Yamaha RD350LC).

    I'm an old fart and remember these classic nicknames that were given to older bikes, but have any more modern bikes or scooters been given nicknames that make the instantly recognisable?

    Take your helmet off at 30mph,,,would be dry pretty quick

    One of the lads at work says there's the "Aprilia Retard"... "Aprilia Moturd" has a nice ring to it too...
