We sometimes call ours MAC.... which is short for Middle Aged Crazy.
What would be a nice pet name for our NCX700?

My wife named the NC "Frannie"... unacceptable. I've named the new 1200gs "Jarvis"
Sweet bike setup by the way.

Scifi makes the surreal come to life. Live!
Also, Richard Thompson may years ago let us know that red head's and motorcycles just naturally go together:

Love your bike’s name. It’s a great conversation starter.
Bikes are iron horses, and all horses have to have a name.

I think "chupa" is Spanish for "suck". Maybe shorten it a little more by removing the a and just calling her "Chup".

If full name stands for "Sucking Goat" shortening it to "Suck" is not that bad...

Mine got the name "Skeeter". Riding with our Star chapter doing tailgunner duties, our RoadCaptain said it looked like a mosquito zipping back and forth securing lanes for their big old cruisers. I liked it, so the name stuck.

Now we got a new Honda saying for the NC700. Move like a butterfly and sting like a skeeter.

I've never named a bike, there have been so many over the years that I just called them by the manufacturer (the Honda, The Suzuki, Hodaka, etc.) or by what the company had named them ( Interceptor, Ninja, wombat, Gixxer for GSX-R).

No wonder you've had so many bikes. It sound's like your previous motorcycles have had an infuriating fatal flaw "the no motorcycle name syndrome ". Iron horses just got to have a name! A happy named motorcycle just rides better!

I only have one so mine is called THE BIKE.
Coworker has some kind of lowered Harley Sportster thing with mini apes. Looks so small next to the NC. I call his the scooter and tell him one day it may grow up to be a real bike.

Back in 1969 on TV there was a show called "Then Came Bronson". I liked this show, and Bronson had an orange sportster with the "eye of god" on the peanut tank. Had to have one. So off we went to Myers Harley Davidson. Bought the sportster, and back to home we went. When we got home my wife jumped on the back and off to Panama City we went adventuring.
In just 80 miles the drivers foot peg fell off, and we ran out of gas. What an adventure! When we got to the beaches at Panama City, my feet were sound a sleep. I stopped in another gas station, put my sound to sleep feet down, and down we all went. Now while we were all lying on the ground there in that filling station, wife looked at me and stated "You know we're selling this thing as soon as we get back, don't you?"
When we got home, the next morning I put the bike in the front yard with a "for sale" sign. I could not believe it, within a hour the sportster was gone and my wife was happy again.
