Not really. Different things can spur it on. Some vehicles demand to be named. Had a purple Windstar van in high school, my friends named it "The Grimace" after the McDonald's character. It fit like a glove. Twenty years later, stories from the era are prefaced with "when he had the Grimace..." It not only got a name, it has a landmark in time.
Personally, I never name my vehicles. If it's worthy of a name or has earned one (had a Honda Prelude forever dubbed "Clown Car" which was earned) my friends will bestow it.

in case none have realized it yet? Motor vehicle manufacturers have already named them for us. So what if you don't like their name? Change it. Pure and simple.
A chopper ain't just a chopper, or any bobber for that matter.
Not till it has a first name. Like Lorraina Bobber or Ned Chopper. It's the way of the land. The word. The gospel.

Is that Ducati as fun as it looks? It's a little monster.

Sorry but not a good comparison. I didn't say it's ridiculous to name any vehicle, I mean a motorcycle specifically. But hey it's their money, so you name it, marry it, paint it polka dots whatever. It's all good
