The term is well known in the sport touring community.
An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

The term Farkle apparently originated among the ST1100 riders. It is an acronym:
F.ancy
A.ccessory
R.eally
K.ool &
L.ikely
E.xpensive
From the 2 Wheel Innovations web site:
Farkle: N: An Accessory intended to improve or embellish the original system; opulent luxury item; V: to add pleasure or comfort; to strut about after adding additional items to stock unit thus improving value or performance, usually saying "whoo-hoo" loudly to yourself or your neighbors.
Farkles: As defined by the ST1100 owners' club, a farkle is:
1. (Noun) any modification to one's motorcycle.
2. (Verb) the act of modifying one's motorcycle in some way.
Farkles may have functional or merely aesthetic value, or in fact no value whatsoever! To farkle is to expand one's connection to the motorcycle, to enhance its uniqueness, and provide a venue for personalization.

Farkles are accessories intended to improve some aspect of the vehicle in question.
For example:
- Visibility (accessory lighting, reflective materials, headlight modulators)
- Functionality (suspension improvements, cruise control, turn signal cancellation)
- Visual appeal (chrome, paint, stickers, badges)
. . . and so on.

A Farkle is a character. This boy can’t hide anything he feels. He’s uniquely gorgeous and gives the most amazing cuddles. Farkle is one you’ll want to take care of. Although he’s undoubtedly a drama queen, Farkle never fails to tell others exactly how he feels and what he wants.
Farkle is so handsome!
