My first buell, xb9sx, was "Eleanor" before I sold her. I picked up her big sister, red 1125cr, bout two months ago. Her name is "Erica", and shes a bad bitch.
 
Poor girl. I have a list of names but haven't make up my mind.
Clara (loud/distinct)
Barbara (uncivilized/uncouth)
Aspera (cruel/savage/unrefined)

I'm leaning towards Clara.
 
Well it's official-
Anubis. I tried saying "she", but it just didn't fit. My Chevelle "Mistress" is a she, but the XB feels more like a "he". I keep wanting to say "good boy".

my XB12R i call it Ole Blue or most of the time just BLUE (like BLUE as in "Blue" , Paul Bunyan's ox because it can pull big and has tons of torque like an ox )
i also call it Babe (but i call all my vehicles babe from time to time along with there own names too)

Our truck is BERT
(Big Expensive Red Truck)

I call my CR " Raptor". Got the idea from a paint job a friend saw in Idaho where a dealer had the "Alien" graphics airbrushed on a CR. I started thinking of different looking "Alien" themes and remembered the movie Pitch Black with Vin Diesel. The alien/monsters in that movie were night Raptors. The word Raptor means "Bird of Prey". They were fast, mean and vicious animals. Thought it would be fitting for a black CR.
 
It handles a lot better than a stock blast. Its shorter and a little lighter. The fuel injection makes it run smother and better gas mileage. I've gotten close to scraping pegs but I'm waiting to get rid of the dunslops before really pushing it. I HATE dunlops! They are worthless. Everyone that has rode it thought is was a "blast" :D
