Beaker?

[blacktiger]

I like the nickname 'Addies' - as in 'The Adventure Bikes'
You have the normal 'Addie' and you have the 'sXC-Addie'

So there's:
- Steamers
- Girlies
- Roadies
&
- Addies

Then in 2012/2013 there'll be the 1200 ccm 'Grand-Addie'

 :)

I like the Grand-addie because if BMW owners trade in for it there'll be lots of pipes & slippers about. :oops:

BEAKER IS WINNING BY A LANDSLIDE [/size] :shock:  

here's some more options in the poll !

[Bixxer Bob]

Problem is, I voted Beaker before Addie was added.  I'd go for Addie now givenr the chance.

Same here.

Beaker is still the best.  Addie???  naaa

[JasonS]

I dislike all of them... none of them connect with the other to me except

Laddie

but I'm a yank..

[blacktiger]

Is this finished? Beaker is something a kid has a drink in. Terrible name for a bike.

I've decided the name should be GOAT because the acronyms are endless to describe this bike.
Goes On All Terrain.
Goes Over Any Track.
Great Offroad Adventure Tiger.
Goes Offroad And Tarmac.
etc. etc.

Anyone else agree?

I'm with you BT, GOAT should be considered.

The existing tigers are the steamer, Girly and the (highly imaginative) roadie.  Which are, let's face it, not sensible or even particularly tough, exciting sounding names.  Other bikers ride fazers, bandits, hogs, blades, gixers, ninjas and so on.  I don't think we should try and make macho names to compete - I think we have a point of difference and it is our ridiculousness.  Girly, I ask you!!!???!  And for the record a 'steamer' round our way means a big pile of hot smelly crap - which, sometimes, I have to admit, when it breaks down, may just be a valid comparison.  

We need to think of a name even more ridiculous than Beaker or I suggest Beaker is the winner and we close the poll and the legacy of stupidity continues!

and that is exactly how the term steamer came to be when Johann called Jeremy's tiger a steamer on the Yahoo Tiger Forum  years ago .....and from that day on it just kinda stuck .

I wouldn't have it any other way, Nick! :lol:

[Colonel Nikolai]

For me, the name sticks. It just has latched into my brain and it will be hard to unlatch it.

[cdubya]

Now that I see them side by side, the resemblance is uncanny!  

[Mustang]

I think Beeker fits it ............after all Triumph chose to put that silly beak on it like a GS

[cdubya]

Another plausible suggestion over at TRAT was presented:
GOAT for the the Tiger 800 and MOUNTAIN GOAT for the Tiger 800 XC.
Not bad, but beaker is still pretty accurate and endearing IMO.  :lol:
