Names? I don't get all the alpha-bit code names...flxrtcubxyz....lol
Trucks are trucks and they are cool.
Best cars have animal names. Chevelle, Mustang, Cobra, Stingray...
Best bike names are the first name, Harley.

Before the FL models were called 'Electra', weren't they called "Hydra"?
......as in Electra-Glide or Hydra-Glide..........
"Hydra", hmmm, that sounds like a name for the 'water cooled' bikes.........

Remember the 80's variant of the Sportster called the "Hugger"? Never cared for the FXR model "Convertible", the "Deuce" name always reminded me of taking a dump, my favorite Springer was the "Bad Boy" but the name turned me off, when I here "Breakout" I think of a high school kids acne condition, the Softail "Slim" always sounded too ethnic, the "Night Train" reminds me of a cheap malt liquor sold in the hood. The FX-STD reminds me of "Sexually Transmitted Disease".
My favorite bike was my FXR Low Rider, the name just sounded cool in my view.
