Any suggestions for a name for my new bike?

It is a 2001 Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja, bright green.

Oh, and ‘Wasabi’ is not an option as a name

Cyber-Squirrel.

'cuz that’s what it looks like to me, see…

The windscreen part is the head; the mirrors look like the ears.  
The seat part looks like a tail, whipping backwards in a very stiff wind.  
If you kind of squint and hold those in your mind, the body of the bike kinda looks like a squirrel, bent over TRON-style, holding a wheel in the front paws and one in the rear paws behind it… sort of these light colored funky looking boots with wheels in the soles, see what I mean?

What? 😃
