Come on Blackops lighten up .... "Glee" is just nomenclature for the model on this forum.
You can call yours anything you like ....

I don't recall any comments about a little .....

Heh! I just tried this test on myself: imagine telling a mate who had no knowledge of this forum, or DL650's for that matter, that you're riding a 'Glee' at the minute..................

..............Must admit, I couldn't do it , but I wouldn't be bothered saying it's a 'wee'....figure that one out

I wouldn't do either. Wee, Vee and Glee are inside terms, not public ones. How many non Trumpet riders know what a Steamer is, or even a Trumpet for that matter.

I don't mean to go on about it, but what I mean is that somehow the epithet 'Wee' is more acceptable to me than 'Glee'! I might take some perverse pleasure from puzzling another motorcyclist (not a stromrider) by calling my bike a 'Wee', but I wouldn't try that on by saying 'it's a glee'...maybe that's the sort of thing blackops means...
Anyway, as has been said quite rightly, just call it what you like!

Some people hate the name wee some hate the name glee.
What the hell are we going to do when the new vee gets released

I call it glee here so everyone knows what I'm on about, but call it a V-Strom or DL in the real world or the 650to distinguish between my two bikes.

If I ever have problems with the bike it can end up being called all sorts

....you mean the "Beek"? :eusa-shhh:

loggamatt · « **Reply #29 on:** April 10, 2013, 23:26:26 »

Surely the Veak?

Ptarmigan · « **Reply #30 on:** April 10, 2013, 23:43:45 »

or perhaps Veek?

Nah, sounds like some kind of hair remover...

greywolf · « **Reply #31 on:** April 10, 2013, 23:46:34 »

Veek! It's Vee+beak, sounds very much like beak, keeps the double E of the line and contains an EEK! which is what most people say the first time they see it.

If the beak stays I will still call it the UGlee

Just not "V2"

Remembering the shenanigans we had with 'naming' the glee, lets just stick with 'The Veek' (sounds a bit comedy-german-accent though...Ze Veek shall not be tolerated to survive!)

Abercol · « **Reply #36 on:** April 11, 2013, 11:49:48 »

And if you give in and buy one you will be a Veekling...

loggamatt · « **Reply #37 on:** April 11, 2013, 13:49:00 »

Haha... OK, I think GW has got it... the Veek!

Bet Suzuki drop the beak now though...

wee 2 has a nice ring, for a shortcut we could refer to it as the "us".
