It is impressive, I've only just squeaked over 320 a couple of times.
But I've never actually tried to stretch it, not interested enough in the results to moderate the right hand for a whole tank.

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.

Naked, Super naked, it's just a name applied by OCD type people who have to categorise everything.

What about Super duper and frightfully undoubtedly naked that has soul/panache and loads of spunk?

I guess it would be better to just call it a Bike. Its not a Adventure SUV wannabe just a bike. So a normal bike with decent powa.

Good stuff. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Fair enough. I did the 359 going from Palmy to Lake Ferry and back. Had to control the right hand as I was riding with the Mrs on her Bonneville.

If we are talking about the Brutale it might have the wrong kind of spunk all over it...What about Super duper and frightfully undoubtedly naked that has soul/panache and loads of spunk?

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.

Aye, that'll do it.

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!

Stunned me to get that much range out of the SDR. Odd to be thinking about range on these bikes.
Will ride a few next week but I suspect I already know the winner. Question is do I need the Ohlins version?

IMO the cheaper 1090R (NZ's base model 1090, if base model is applicable on this bike) is the better bike - the RR has a all up top engine - more hp but at the expensive of low and mid-range. On the road the R is the one to pick.
