I've only ever ridden nakeds...MT07 (to pass my test), CB125R which I had from my CBT days and a few months after my MOD 2, now I ride a 2024 CB650R. I thought about getting a CBR650R but the looks of the naked just get me everytime.

[ShortyBiker]

Love the looks of sport bikes but naked for me as it’s better for my old back!

Before watching (and haven't ever ridden a motorbike). The nakeds probably look better to me, but coming from road cycling, the position of the sports bike probably feels a lot better when pushing as you have more weight over the front/lower down.

So I rode the cb125 naked and sv650 for CBT and mods. I have recently just got my 2024 Yamaha R7 and I love it! So much fun and no regrets! It’s the bike I’ve wanted and finally have. It’s mainly down to preference, how you sit on the bike and have w comfortable you feel. But regardless, you all ride bikes and you will all get the nod! 🤘

I love the look of sports bike and I had a sport bike when I was younger. I know own a naked bike and I I love it. Prefer the looks of sports bike but now prefer the comfort my naked bike.

[average.yt.commenter]

I prefer naked because I mostly ride around in dense city roads. Not much of a fan of going super fast numbers wise, I'm more interested in just very skilled riding. So the less air resistance, aggressive ergonomics, etc, wouldn't ever be truly used if I had one.

[SloboloboVFR]

Not having a windscreen and being upright in the wind blast is a no no for me. I could imagine in theory going over 100mph is a lot more taxing on a naked then when I theoretically do it on my VFR. I also find it easier to filter, but that's probably subjective to the rider. The big selling point for me for naked is doing maintenance. Stripping off all the fairing to just change the oil filter is a chore...

I ride a cbr f4i, until now when I rode mainly in a radius of 50km (30 miles) I was very happy with the bike. But I went on a trip and one day I did 400km (250 miles). I will only say that the forced, bent position tired me out a lot. For 2 days I still felt pain in my back and wrists. Comfort is important though and I think I need to look for another bike.

[crazyhustler]

After watching Pud wizz through Harden and Cullingworth, im now the proud owner of a cb125r 😂 I'm 6'4" and just looking at the riding position of sports bikes gives me back ache. Never actually ridden one though so i could be wrong and find them really comfy.

[jonathanmurphy]

One major difference between naked a supersport is the way the power comes on. Most naked bikes are tuned for better low end torque while supersports are mostly top end power. Naked bikes are faster in lower speed acceleration on the road where supersports are much faster higher speeds on the track. I prefer low end torque but with a fairing so I ride a Bandit 1250s.

[GearShifter]

I had spent yrs riding NAKED BIKES... Seating positions is very comfortable.
Now i wanna ride some Full-faired SPORTS BIKES...!!!!
I Know that it's seating position won't be that great.

[LEGENDMATTY_RS]

Rode both, feel more at home on a sports but can defo cover more miles on a naked, hence why I’m thinking of going back to a naked… sports bike look much better though!

[andykitch]

I learnt on a naked then rode my mates sports, couldn't get on with it at all, naked is a lot more fun in my opinion, I got a Suzuki SV650 when passed and found it a lot easier. If it's comfort your after look into cruisers! Kawasaki Vulcan 650 is great for long journeys

[iamgoalie]

Naked = long day hooning
Sports = long day hooning with back ache

That being said I want to trade my naked in for a sports bike because they're darn sexy

[kevindarkstar]

Bottom line here sports bikes were designed to be a closer style to the track race bikes which are not design for comfort but minimal air resistance, but they put a lot of stress on the body, and that's it basically, people wanted to 'look' like their track racing hero and were more than prepared to suffer for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[RussRyan]

Mine is sports bike. Always loved the looks of racing bikes. However i caveat that with my bike CBR650R is purely a dry weather fun machine. If i had to daily a bike in all weathers maybe i would choose something different? When i was 17 my daily was a TZR250 tbf. 30k miles in all weathers. But now i am 50 for a daily maybe a naked mt-09?

[haydenhodgson]

A comfy sport bike such as a cbr650r is perfect more sports tourer than super sport. As nakeds get very annoying with the wind

[silvathegaminggorilla]

naked all day for me i just love how they look and ride

[matthewlamb]

I want a 2024 MT-09 Mod 2 booked next month 🤞

[shanemassey]

I own a naked bike a bandit 600 and the wind is bad above 80 tbh 115 is hold on or probably gonna be off the back off the bike i am only about 10 stone 😅
