Beaker sounds to me like a name that you would give to a BMW.  Either Beaker or Bill the Cat for those headlights.  And by the way, as a Girly owner, I am confident enough in my manhood that I don't mind that name.  I guess that while both names may be kind of dumb - it is a convenient sort of shorthand to have when talking about the bikes.  Land Rover uses Series I, Series II, and so on and even that broke down after a while.

By looking at those pics and thinking it further over, yes its Beaker from the front, but there is more to it. I think it looks a little like a Ducati Multistrada (not the new one) with a Tiger engine.
So maybe its a  backyard crossbreed cat, a modern Tricati? They just painted the red tubular frame silver.
 
And, as with real backyard cats: Its shy so very few has seen it, it hides in boxes, it likes to hunt in the woods and in the streets, and when spotted, the only thing you got to see is the tail.

Maybe we just should call it The Backyard Cat or simply AlleyCat?? :D

I still like beaker.

I did like the suggestion "muppet". That was a good one! AND the muppets DID have an alley cat (well, he had an eye patch)

How about TOM,it works on a few levels
TOM = Triumphs Overland Machine
TOM CAT Obvious I know
and TOM is the nick name for a British Paratrooper = Tough as nails go anywhere.

I vote for Beaker... but not because of the muppet... because the bike HAS A BEAK above the fender.

Or... TigerCub works too...

Guys,

Beaker is a crap name, and proves what I said in my initial post  :cry:
Safe Riding.

Graeme.
