I dont generally like naked bikes but that one does look very hot indeed!!

[Two Smoker]

Very nice, but the front headlight looks like an MV, What do you think????

[Al]

I also like the headlight, just a worry about the replacement lens if something happens.
What is the product that you can buy and cut to suit your bike headlight? Read about it in a magazine a while back and would like to fit onto the F650.

I must admit, the R1/R6 and this Fazer really looks good in blue!
:yes:

Personaly I prefer the naked bikes to the cowling sportsters. The nakes just seem to be a bit more 'in your face.' Might have something to do with seeing the bits that count.

3m is one brand.... check out my post in road bikes "new product-tank/fairing protection

Iv'e always prefered naked bikes,To the extent this is the first time I have ever refered to them as naked.Normaly I call them conventional bikes.
Iv'e also always considered fully faired bikes as a passing fad.
Latest trends seem to be proving me right.Or at lest the pendulem is on the swing back.When I started riding there were only really two types of bike,
Road bikes an dirt bikes.I still tend to think in the same way.
This Yamaha is real nice, I hope the trend continues.
I would replace that head light with twin mini's.

I like the new K1000 from Kwak too - esp in Orange. If I were to buy another road bike - it would be a naked bike.

[SPman]

Is this classed as a naked?

The FZ1 does look a bit like the FZ6.
This does look better than the current FZ1
Z1000... aah ... fun and style. my next choice is toss up - Orange Z1000 or (03) R1!

That is the new Tuono yes?

I prefer this one:

or this juicy one....

or the Monsta S4R
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/030803ducati1.jpg
There is always the Buell

Or the Laverda's sexy piece of kit

If money was no object - I would be going the Laverda.....

That is the new Tuono yes?

(http://www.2wf.com/articles/bike_tests/4587EC9D-D211-4610-9C0F-ED49D3181771.asp) Yes, with a few tasteful mods.

It seems to me that naked bikes are slowly getting dressed up again!.... the Guzzi V11 naked was just that naked, but now it has a small fairing like that on the Tuono.

Well, nakeds are great at lower speeds, but, lets face it, a fairing of some sort is a great boon, espec if you are covering distances and you have got used to one - even a small one just to break that wind blast. I even tried one back in the mid 70's - Benelli 650 screen on Duc GT750

[FROSTY]

they are bloody loverly, but yea Id still stick a bikini fairing on em.Maybee a quick release one so for fanging round town i could leave it nakkid and country add the fairing.

[James Deuce]

The naked Fazer's look pre-crashed to me. The one with the half fairing is heaps better looking.

[MD]

Ah bugger this motorbike addiction its a cruel habit we can't satisfy. I want the Benelli TNT as a second bike and the MV and the Z1 and the Buell. There, now I'm satisfied. Nope also would need a cruiser and ....

[Hitcher]

The Zrex is even more naked than usual at the moment. Gouged nose cone removed awaiting assessment. Mr Assessor thinks plastic welding is the go versus replacement. If it wasn't ground through in one place I would tend to agree with him... Progress at last though (after three months). Hopefully said Zrex will soon be restored to the state it was when photographed for my profile...

Anyway, returning to the "spirit of the thread", naked bikes rule! They are the true soul of motorbiking. Yee hah!

[marty]

i reckon this would be a pretty cool naked bike:
