We all got excited to name the Glee and then the mass-debate (snigger) about what we should call the 2014 DL1000.

Now have I missed it or did we forget to name the new for 2017 bikes?

I'm opting for Veek2 for the new 1000.
And Gleek2 for the 650 as the Glee XT was the original Gleek (glee with a beak)

Isn't it more a case of getting a name for the 250?

Like Wee Wee or something

or Minee

or Tinee

What about miniwee

How about 'looks like a Chinese piece of shit with the daftest headlight yet'.

Catchy?

DL250:
With the small engine (mini), the cyclops headlamp plus the prevalence of yellow, Suzuki proudly present....... the minion!

so that will be Stuart then.

Sure the name for the 250 has been discussed already, I thought it was going to be known as the Wee Wee.

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #8 on:** December 21, 2017, 20:32:32 »

Never knew the minions had names, just googled Stuart minion!
"The Suzuki Stuart"
It's got a certain ring to it. After all, if Nissan can call a car the Cedric.....

The 250 is a parallel twin. In the tradition of naming a V-Strom partly from the V engine design, the 250 shouldn't be a V-Strom at all. That being said, a proper nickname would be P-Wee. Pee-Wee is too long.

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #10 on:** December 21, 2017, 20:37:43 »

That's more like it. Back in the format.

Yeah I completely forgot the DL250... and I have to walk past one every time I go for a pee in work.

I will admit they aren't the prettiest bike out there.
In fact they are in my top five ugly bikes list, slightly ahead of the Transalp 700... and just like the Transalp the bike could have been I nice looking bike then they added the headlight and turned them both into munters.

I typed "small" into an online thesaurus and it came up with "Bantam" but I think that one has been done

It also came up with "Trifling"

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #12 on:** December 21, 2017, 21:15:23 »

Tri-fling would apply to a three cylinder bike.

It's really refreshing to note that things haven't changed at all while I've been away!!!

A BSA Bantam was my first ever bike (he says, muttering to himself like a loon).

I thought we decided on 'Pee' for the P-Wee?

Anyway we can't call it the PeeWee given what he was caught doing...

Rich:-) · « **Reply #16 on:** December 21, 2017, 23:16:09 »

Should be a P-Wee
...or to give it it's full name it's a Para-Wee,

But we'll never need to give it a name as no-one will buy one let alone come here and admit to it.

wurzel · « **Reply #17 on:** December 22, 2017, 00:28:33 »

Well it's got a beak,and is emphatically repulsive, so I would call it a beaker....

To quote GW, "The 250 is a parallel twin. In the tradition of naming a V-Strom partly from the V engine design, the 250 shouldn't be a V-Strom at all."
Thus the 250 does not deserve any naming related to the Wee / Gllee / Vee. Since the 250 is a parallel twin, I suggest call it what it is... a PT.

How about " tweek " ? .
