Legend has it that the word “farkle” was invented by, or at least originated with, a Honda ST1100 owner’s group, as a way to describe the increasingly esoteric accessories that touring riders “needed” for the most comfortable, convenient ride possible. It has alternately been described as a mix of the words “function” and “sparkle,” in reference to the farkle’s stated purpose and tendency to look flashy and/or expensive, and as an acronym: Fancy Accessory, Really Kool, Likely Expensive.
