although a name is important you want to create the right associations with it. for someone who does not know the name of the brand and has no previous history with youve got a clean almost a clean slate to start off with. if you think you have picked out the right target market then the best way to probably do it is to approach them and ask them what they think of certain names. i would also highly recommend having 2 separate brands for the cruisers and sportsbikes. they products are different and you also want the people to make different associations with it.

you seem to have picked you target which is at the other end of the scale from brands like gimoto and tiger angel .


in the case of motorcycles if you pick a name thats too linked to motorcycles like biker etc, it sounds too generic ... alpinestars and dianeese all have well set up brand names. so does shift , agv etc. a major part of why they are so well set up is the fact that major retailers sell them


i would probably recommend a name that has 3 letters and is an acronym fo something.
be careful with the letters thaty ou pick though. RST which is taken alread sounds quite good.

finding one name will be one of those things that you just have to ask people what they think of . just make sure you ask the people you are tryin to reach

i think i got one. "FUSION"

This related to how i design my items, getting bikers demands, finding several products that they like and combining it into 1 product.
It sounds pretty cool? easy to remember
marketing the product will basically speak for itself (combination of materials, cut, design etc etc) gives you the end result. So the proper name would be FUSIONED? or leaving it at Fusion means the process is never ending ;). is it a winner?

What you guys think of it? im hoping this name hasn't already been taken.
