"I am going to ride my motorcycle to the pub...and then go on a huge BENDA!! (LOL)

- and then, of course, leave the bike and ask for a ride home...

Possibly but, in English slang Bender is also a a derogatory term for homosexual.

No prejudices here but I think that might limit the appeal somewhat.   

Well, there you go!  I did not know that!!    Just another example of how one can learn something new every day on wildguzzi! Thanks, Dukedesmo!

Long ago I heard "Esso" meant poop, shi#t, etc. in Japanese, and that's why they changed their name to "Exxon". I suppose companies are better at doing research into what a proposed name means in foreign languages before deciding on one now. Personally, those names (Benda, Chinchilla, Napoleon Bob) wouldn't be an issue for me if the bike is compelling enough. I love the thought of a 250cc v-twin.
