What do you call a bike

My new shiny bike, named by the manufacturer Specaized, as Amira Sport,  it has a an almost translucent colour with  Lime Green livery.  

By giving your bike a name, it is no longer just a device, it is something you love. All my bikes have had not just manufacturer's names, but personal ones too. Some with more meaning than others, this bike, unlike my others bikes, a name just didn’t come so easily.   After my first 60K or so she was still nameless, then in brilliant sunshine on the local Kentish roads the name just came to me as I looked down at the lime green handlebars at this gift I had brought myself.

So this bike, just feels like a Beryl, a semi precious stone with the chemical compound  Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆  they come in different colours including lime green.  Like a Specalized bike, the stones can be found in Europe and California as well as other parts of the world.   You may be familiar with the Dark Green Beryl is also known as an emerald, while the greenish-yellow shades synonymous with heliodor (from Greek hēlios – ἥλιος "sun" + dōron – δῶρον “gift”).  This was a gift to myself, celebrating that I'm 50, and still a child at heart.
