    I think the Aprilia has too much plastic to be classified as a naked bike. That's just my opinion. To me it most definitely looks like a super sport. It's basically fully faired. I love the look of the Hornet. You can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day it is what it is. Everyone has there own style if you will. What is the most beautiful bike to one person may be another person's least favorite.

    I have ridden super sport 600's for 30 years, had 6 of them and still have 1. I switched 4 years ago to a super naked 1000 and I love it. I'll never go back to a 600 sport bike. Nakeds are so much more comfortable (I've had a bad back for most of my life) and I like the handling better too. I'm not looking for 160mph top end any more, I like the 0-100 in 4.8 sec. hooligan style riding now....you guys can have that top end stuff.

    My last bike a CCM644 Supermoto. But 14 years ago it was decided that we needed a new kitchen instead. Now I have just bought a 2002 CB900F Hornet and it is so good to be back in the saddle. The Hornet is such a great user friendly machine that you can go for a long ride or just pop to the shop on and it is happy in almost any environment. After 14 years away from owning a motorcycle I felt at home straight away on the Hornet. I thought I would buy something old and cheap for the first year and then upgrade but I really don't see what I could upgrade to that would be better for my needs that the 900 Hornet!

    2 things I wanted to add, the term street fighter were also know as "hooligan" bike over in Europe. That and the original superduke came out in 2005 as a 990, though yes you are correct about the 1290 coming out in 2014. Fully have to aggree suzuki release the b-king at the wrong time and I am truly surprised they haven't designed a new version to compete with the current super nakeds because the naked 1000 they have is quite a slouch compared to the rest. Great video keep up the good work.

    130-150hp is the sweet spot for a naked bike imho assuming it's a large displacement 900cc or over. Those engines are capable of so much more than that wich is why it's the bulletproof zone... When you take a 200 horsepower engine and just make it reliably put out a 145 horsepower and up the torque you have Absolutely reliable fun bike to ride that you will never need to worry about outside of routine maintenance. I honestly thought that 130-150hp is the sweet spot for the most fun on road on a naked bike. If I was in the market for a bike I'd be taking a hard look at the Honda CB1000-R Black Edition. That is suchba sweet bike that is probably going to last forever. And I'm willing to bet it's super easy to work on like oil changes etc.

They were a little too narrow, and maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it a put a lot of unnecessary pressure on the wrists. Aside from that though, it was a fantastic bike and I never felt the need to “upgrade “ to the 919. Not to mention the 599 just had such a distinct sound and feel that the newer bikes just don’t have.

    Had my xjr1300 for about 8years, and I still love it. Best choice for taller riders in terms of riding position and still great for going fast and chill at the same heh.

    If you think that the Honda 919 was Honda's first naked or standard bike... There are those of us who remember the late 1980s CB1 400cc I-4 and the RC31 NT650 Honda Hawk GT 650cc V-twin, and their classic british bike clone, the GB500, well before John Blood rebooted the modern Triumph brand in the 1990s. I had one of those Honda Hawk GT bikes, and still remember it fondly, and it pre-dated both the Ducati Monster and the SV650, and had aluminum spar frame, aluminum single-sided swing arm, and other street-adapted aspects of the RC30 race bike... but the Honda Hurricane CBR600F was less expensive and more popular, well before the 599/Honda Hornet. Another Honda half-faired near-naked bike was the RC51-related VTR1000 Super Hawk, along with the TL1000S Suzuki, which pre-dated the SV1000-S. And who can forget Suzuki's Bandit line, from 400cc up to 1100cc inline 4 cylinders

    BMW was already making a naked version of the K bikes in the late 80s (K75C). Sometimes it seems you guys only focus of british cycles in the 60s/70s and after that its all 2000's and newer... A LOT of innovation took place in the 80s and 90s, dont forget how we got to where we are today.

    You guys keep talking about the "Choke" on the 919, Busa, etc.. It's nice to see that you realise they're actually high idle adjusters but you still seem to think they're pointless. Trust me, on a true cold start (ie: Not in Texas), they are very necessary. In the early days, they were manual levers. The levers disappeared and the ECU/actuators eventually took over. Now, throttles are fully electronically controlled but still, during a cold start, they're doing the same thing those levers did to keep the bike from stumbling and stalling until it warms up.

    My thought work on riding days: Some of us really do want basic bikes to ride on nice days, or commute with. If I want to go fast, I'll hop on the R1, if I want to cruise with power, I grab the VTX1800, if I want a simple but fun commute...hmm, I need a bike, and I still capable, but I want something that isn't my R1, or cruiser, so I'd rather have a basic bike or a standard naked, no frills, a familiar but slightly relaxed ride position, a bike that does stuff well, but has more a jack of all trades, master of none attitude. I don't need everyone looking at me, and I don't want to attract cops with bright paint...I have to agree, Honda had it right ^^

    I still don't get how Aprilia gets away with calling that, or ANY of their bikes "Naked bikes". That's a sport bike with handlebars. It doesn't just act like one, it looks like one, sits like one, and rides like one.

      You're wrong. Yes, it has more fairings than traditional standard bikes, but it's not just a sportbike with bars. I own a 2016 Factory, and have ridden several RSV4s. There's a significant difference in both riding positions and wind. Especially over 140mph.

      @@foddersfollies7494 By "more" you mean literally any as the definition speaks for itself... But I'll take your word on bikes I haven't ridden.
      These definitions aren't legally binding, or regulated by the AKC. It's marketing.
      If Harley wants to slap a fairing on their Dyna and call it a Sport Bike, no one will stop them.
      That said, in order for words to have a meaning, EVERYONE needs to agree on them.

    Something that wasn’t really mentioned. Naked bikes are great for those of us getting a little bit older. I’m 40. Came from riding dirt bikes and I don’t like the super low cruiser seating position, but naked bikes are a lot more comfortable than sport bikes or me. Less weight on your wrists, less stress on your back.but also they are easier for me to get my leg over than tall dual sports and adventure bikes
