Top of the tree looks to be the Tuono 1100, but the BMW S1000r is close behind.
KTM 1290 SDR is a stunning bike. The Japanese makers dont really seem to be in this game.
Which would you pick?
Latest (in the mailbox yesterday) PB has a test of new Speed Triple and the Ducati Monster 1200 R.
They pick the Speed Triple. (which they would, of course) but it seems like a hell nice bike.
Not exactly a "supernaked" though - and they make that point in the test.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
The japanese have there offerings in the new MT-10, the MT09, Z1000, GSX-S1000.
Although my pick of the bunch would be the 1290
There is no Japanese Supernaked.
There are however fine Japanese nakeds.
You decide how much power you want and what you are prepared to pay.
Ducati Streetfighter 848 is plenty for me
Check out these responses to what Ducati has not produced since discontinuing the Streetfighter in either engine.

Is 160 hp super anymore?
And I have to wait until I see one in the flesh but looking at images some of the Yamaha's superness is deleted by appearing to be hit with a ugly stick during production.
Actually styling of modern nakeds is not so 'naked' - farking little screens and ghey stuff like that. Plus whats with the Transformer look?
I still think if you are after a big bore naked you can't go past converting one of the Japanese superbikes. Provided you have the skills. Pick up a run-out on last years model or similar and spend the change on a new top yoke to hold standard fatbars, cables to suit and a nice tidy up once removing he plastic.
Turn this up really loud. Enjoy. Tuono's top argument.
