Why? Coffee named bike

Umm..Why? Why? Why did one bike brand name one of thier bikes after a type of coffee?

It was a (not sure of brand now) cappucino. I saw it whilst waiting to cross the street yesterday.

Interesting. Nice bike. The guy on the bike was nyah.

c

yours is not to reason why...

no really, someone thought it was a cool name and thought it might sell a bike!

Hmm.. Cappuccino seems to give off the vibe as filling and frothy. For speed, "Espresso" would seem more appropriate for a bike.

A few years ago there was a top race horse named after Italian coffee.. Medaglia d'Oro (he was a son of a mare named Cappucino). I can think of a few more, but not so famous... Espresso Buzz, Coffee Monster, Java Jitters. Then there was another horse named Kona Gold. His owner/trainer claimed he was named after the Kona coffee. Those who were acquainted with the trainer knew otherwise... :p

Isn't there a bike named Kona too?

Couple of manufacturers - including Trek - make models named Kona. Most (if not all) are tri-specific.
Prob the only time you'll see men on bikes with flowers all over it!

then there's the bike manufacturer named "Kona", based here just north of Seattle.

My Kona Dew is made by Kona.

Kona has got a Hawaii theme going with a lot of their bikes - though I'm not sure where they came up with "Jake the Snake" for their cyclocross bike.

You want to see interesting/odd names look up VanDessel bikes sometime.
My husband just got his new "Dragstrip Courage" - a track bike - but I think my favorite is the "Hellafaster" road bike. (cool it didn't get ****'d)

KHS has two folding folding bikes. The names are Mocha and Latte

My favorite name for a bike is the Karate Monkey from Surly.

But then I just like to say mon-key!
