OK, seeing as so many were offended by the Ugly Italian Naked Bike poll, here's a chance to "get even". Below are the upcoming naked "uglies" from 4 manufacturers for 2008, with one current model. That's what we'll start with.
Suzuki GSR1300 B-King
Kawasaki Z-1000
Honda CB1000R
Yamaha MT-03
Hyosung GT650X
ALL of them!

Never thought I'd say it but I like the look of the Honda
Wherever I may roam
Well, I've always liked the Z1000, but not in that white, Honda have made a nice looking bike with the CB1000R, very aggressive, same with the Hyosung GT650X.
My favorite is the MT-03, mainly because I'm a single fan and it looks different. =)
That just leaves the B-King, which is let down hugely by those exausts. =(
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

The MT-03 is very cool and the Hyosung is hot! The B-King needs exhausts but apart from that is nicely butch.
The other two need to go in a skip. After being torched.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

They're all ugly... Itai, Japanese, Korean... they've all lost the plot. Best looking bikes came from 1993, CBR900RR, RGV250, ZXR750... classic shapes that look as good in the flesh as they did in the mags.
One thing I've noticed (and noted on here before) is that the new bikes almost always photograph crap... you've really got to see them in the flesh before condemning them.

When it comes to naked bike design, I think that this will be known as the decade of the copycats.
They all look the same. The Italians and the Jappas.
I look at the photos and I hear the echo in my mind of endless board meetings with hapless designers being told, "Make it look like that MV Aug... Agoo... that Italian thing that sells well!"
Triumph were on the right track with the Thruxton. I'd love it if one of the Jap brands came out with a tight and tidy cafe racer.

Yep, I'd agree with you Dan.
I feel a little disappointed by the Suzuki design...They came out so very agressively on top with the SV's design in 2003, but haven't really done anything Avant Guarde since...
I'm not at all fond of the new exhaust triangualr shape thingy either...find it quite ugly actually...
However, I think that Honda has managed to make it flow somehow in a nicer fashion than the other brands version...
I'm definitely getting a bike with a fairing next...)

I liked the look of the Yamaha MT-01, but the 03 is pretty ugly. The Suzuki BBKing was on display at Big Boys Toys and in the flesh it actually looks pretty good. Personal opinions of course and we all know everyone has different tastes.

Yeah I likes the MT-01 too apart from the headlight, would have been better if Yamaha had stuck a FZ1N headlight on it.

The exhaust designers are having a shocker!
The yammie isn't too bad though, and I'd have the Zed with a custom can.

How have there been so many votes for anything other than the hyosung - I mean look at it.... Ewwwwwww.
You only need two tools in life:
Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.
Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
Failure comes from too little brute force, or
too little ignorance.
