Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
Does 1090 RR Brutale come anywhere near the category of "Super Naked"?
This is a video I found on Youtube (yes, it's a 800). But that sound...!

If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Possibly. It's hp numbers are short of most jap liter machines, but I don't think that's the point with a naked machine anyway. You're not going to buy one to do huge speeds, it's just not that comfortable above about 130, so what's the point of a high geared close ration box and peaky hp?
However, it looks like the 1090 isn't endowed with huge torque either, 100Nm. By way of comparison, the SDR makes that at 3k rpm. It tops out at 144Nm (iirc) at about 8k.
If the point of an open class naked is torque the SDR is difficult to beat. In fact it's difficult to see how any more torque could be useful at "naked speeds", the fucking thing won't let you have it all until late 5th gear anyway.

I'm getting disturbing good (I think) fuel economy out of my Ducati. Maybe I'm not thrashing it enough. Plus it does have Autobahn gearing. Smaller sprocket for the front is in the shed - I may get to use sixth gear more after fitting it!
