Like someone else said, this subject comes up periodically.
No, I don't name my bikes, or any other inanimate objects for that matter.
A buddy of mine names his bikes. Things like Red, or Blackie, etc.

I have two Semis, one is called Blue, and the other is White. Guess why?
I have never named any inanimate object before I got into big trucks. I have had Blue, Purple, Silver, Red, Blue (second blue truck) and White.
But .... when I got my current ElectraGlide, I named her. For those that have not followed "Journeys" the name is Darla. My ex girlfriends nick name. Now, I am just trading Darla in on a new ElectraGlide and I will name her also. But, the reason mostly is because I will keep the thread going this year. So the new Glides name will also be Darla, but there will be a small 2 just up and to the right of Darla. I didn't want DarlaTwo, or DarlaToo, but the way it will look is Darla Squared or Darla to the second power, depending on how you say it.
It is a continuity thing mostly. Also, I applied and have been accepted to write for this Forum, so I want to keep that focus.
