14 Best New & Updated Naked Motorcycles For 2025!

[@ReQuiem_2099]

I haven't been interested in a 1000 until seeing that CB1000 SP. It sounds so good!

[@motobob]

Looks epic. Can't wait to try one!

[@danielcheng5070]

So is it because of the price?

[@songrui2000]

Honda gives riders a 155 hp beast but takes out IMU corner ABS,feel a bit unsafe enough. Especialy for people who have lower riding skills at the UK narrow cold windy wet and raining country road condition. I have a friend who had an accident 3 weeks ago whilst riding a new CB650R when doing S road at country road at 30 miles speed his bike slips off the road and has broken 3 ribs. He told me if his bike got Corner ABS might save him at that time.

[@T0mpeLeM0nde]

​@@songrui2000 I'm a very new rider and opted for a KTM 390 Adv as my first bike recently. Pretty much for the reason you said above - on UK roads with UK weather I think as many safety features for a new rider as possible is the way to go. And the wee KTM, even though I won't win any races on it, has the cornering ABS and TC and I would rather have them than not. I think a few people, especially newer rider who see all the numbers it has for 9 grand, might be caught out on the new hornet. It is, however, a stunning bike

[@Ivan_1986]

For everyone thinking they need corner ABS my advice is to go for dirt biking / enduro first. Grab yourself a 125 - 250 CC 4-stroke machine, proper gear and learn bike physics, when and how it falls, why and what to do when sleep occurs. That will be the best school for you. Aiming at 1000 CC road bike with lots of safety features makes no sense without having proper reflexes and knowing exactly what is going to happen when you cross various surfaces in different conditions at different angles.

[@1000CC_Mandra]

I have the Tuono V4 Factory and it is absolutly fantastic. The look the handeling and the sound are off the scale. Just sitting on it in my garage makes me feel Good.

[@jrobbxmoto1998]

Great videos! I’ve already put a deposit on the 2025 Streetfighter V2 S looks great and the reduction in hp doesn’t bother me at all. The torque is available at much lower rpm’s and on the street light to light will be awesome!

[@motobob]

120 is plenty - really interested to try it out. On paper should be a heck of a road bike 🤘

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Valve springs = good move, less expensive, longer service intervals. Less weight = good move. Less over-square bore/stroke = broader torque for the real world. Variable valve timing = broader, more available power, more of the time. Shorter 1,2 gears = hard pull off the line Larger crank inertia = better modulation at lower rpm People crying tears only focus on peak numbers.

[@The1993luffy]

Hornet SP is the clear Killer in 2025, that Price just does it, no one else can compete imo.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox4574]

Yup, Ducati. 120 bhp is just not enough for me when I ride down to the pub. I NEED at least 280 bhp before I'll look at your products !.

[@SonriseSunset]

What happened to the MT09? The new liter Hornet is my pick for the year, just can we have the Hornet series in the US?

[@stalbansbiker]

Love the Aprilia and the Trident

[@alexle1935]

I'm still waiting for Honda to bring the Hornets to the U.S

[@ChungNguyen-rp6vr]

Honda Hornet 1000cc looks exactly like Kawasaki Z1000cc! Following Kawasaki's design and style😂

[@BigJimFodder]

Might aswell leave the ktms off the list. Gotta be mad to buy one ATM

[@annon-ski7985]

The Honda Hornet 1000 makes the argument for other bikes very hard.

[@nickclarkuk]

I wish the cb750 had the face of the cb1000. Love the look of the new MT07 styling tweaks.

[@tonywarisa2905]

Tuono v4 it's just tempting the looks the power the frame woo god damm someday when I start learning bikes

[@dattebayo4390]

I take back what I said about the 1000 hornet being bland... this bike is Bang for the Buck!

[@simonmoran16]

I've already ordered my Hornet SP, roll on April 😁

[@spartanx169x]

If that Hornet 750 were to come to the States they would not be able to keep them in stock.

[@trewebster5884]

That tuono 660 factory though😮‍💨

[@iansmith237]

For me it's easily the Hornet. Aside from not being able to fit cruise control it seems like a fantastic bike and such a great deal. Also, everyone loves to give it grief for looking like a Streetfighter but no one seems to notice that BMW is aping that look with their super naked? Anyway, I'd probably get that if I were rich because I think it honestly looks visually more appealing than the Duc.

[@Cthooligan]

Wait another year or two for the next generation which will likely have the new e-clutch system and cruise control as it becomes more affordable and standard. It appears Honda is striving for affordability with this model (a departure from the Honda tax of the CBRs), so major tech upgrades will likely be slower going for this platform.

[@iansmith237]

@Cthooligan good point. I don't have any interest in the e-clutch - a quickshifter is enough for me - but when they update it these will almost certainly be included.

[@Cthooligan]

@@iansmith237 The engineers hinted at such an upgrade during a 44teeth interview. But I agree its not a make or break inclusion as my up-and-down quickshifter works just fine as is, minus first gear clunkiness

[@iansmith237]

@@Cthooligan makes sense. I don't think I'd get a new bike without a quickshifter; it's just too much fun. And it's definitely getting close to that point where cruise control is going to be standard for middleweight and liter bikes.

[@fireblade6756]

KTM r going under for sure!!!!

[@larryhouse3776]

Only a matter of time until a revised MT10 comes out. Either that, or a restyled ZH2 will be my next toy.

[@bradymcrae7351]

They better bring the hornet 1000 to the US next year

[@rosco950ss7]

Love to know more about the Tuono V4 Non Factory 'touring' version - is it being updated also, as the website still just shows last years model. Hoping Aprilia update the Panier options....

[@rroc19]

2025 Tuono V4 also uses the 1099cc engine (up from the 1077) like the RSV4

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Motobob, I know you're all about broad strokes, broad coverage, industry news. But ultimately things are much more nuanced for the average rider. Perhaps discuss horsepower level, power curve, weight, riding preferences, and then steer discussion into which models best fit those roles.

[@silentmoto570]

Im between a gen4 mt09 which here in Costa Rica is 17.800$ for the base model and im thinking that the new hornet 1000 sp is coming in around 12 or 14k which is a bargain! For what you get, the issue is when is coming here, it probably come around the end of the year and i don't think that ill be able to wait so much for hopping in a bike once again.

[@rns6889]

Personally im waiting for a new gen of the speedy 1200 rs, i hope they improve the electronics, suspension, and add the shiftcam tech thats really starting to go around in many bikes like the new pani v2, super duke, bmw superbikes.. And a new headlight design 😆, like the rocket 3's i hope.

[@motobob]

Interesting - I guess a new one might be due soon given how long it's been since the last update

[@jthemighty690r]

Mate me too! I’ve got the current one. Apparently there’s news dropping in April but that could be whispers only. 🤞

[@dwanies]

MT-09 Y AMT - for anyone commuting - 193kg saving almost 20kg over the hornet 1000. Yes more expensive but safer with lean sensitive aids. Just as reliable, hornet maybe slightly better looking. They both need to add some sort of phone mirroring/ android apple carplay to their screens like CF moto and make a sleek touring pack add-on version with slim all black panniers and some wind protection then everyone can shut up and take my money!

[@alicefrozenberrypink6040]

why was the Honda CB650R base and E-clutch models and Yamaha mt 09 y-amt models not included in this video ?

[@TsukyomiNoMikoto]

What's the purpose of getting a higher cc bike Apart from racing in the track

[@TommyAngelo1337]

For Z900 price.

[@stevebayross7248]

Hondas have always been dull but brilliant not my cup of tea but The 1000Hornet has not only rewritten the rule book ... Its torn it to bits and flushed it down the toilet.?..?

[@hughmac7423]

The Triumph looks great. Most of the others all look the same. I think bikes need character, not all looking the same. BMW's that are not flat twins are just not right.

[@petewatson9866]

Honda CB1000SP is my pick, cheaper to buy & Insure but just the same thrills as all the rest , but if money no object it would be the Aprilia Tuono Factory V4, it sounds like you have just woken up the devil when on song

[@paulmclaughlin8862]

im personally done with japanese bikes. had quite a few over my lifetime. looking forward to the Ducati Streetfighter V2, depending on its performance showing once in everyones hands,

[@Cthooligan]

I love Triumph's triple cylinder engines. But on a 660 model bike it just doesn't make sense. The extra cylinder at that displacement volume adds unnecessary weight and is punching down into a class (parallel twins) that has it beat as far as power to weight ratios are concerned. Makes more sense in their 765 platform as it weighs the same as the 660 but makes 40 more HP. Except Triumph sells twin cylinder engines, its just that they output power like a cruiser from last century. So is it that their triple cylinder engines are too detuned for the 660, or are their twin engines too outdated and underperforming for a 660?

[@stalbansbiker]

Hornet 1000 a bargain

[@lecoq79]

Motobob is very convinced that the new Ducati V2 engine wil replace the Testastretta engine in al the models, but I'm not so sure. Besides that, the Supersport wil definitely not get that engine because the model is out of production since this year.

[@FelixReiff]

I'm getting increasingly frustrated that Aprilia cant seem to get their new Factory lineup on their website, not to mention a decent configurator which is still missing. Also I wonder if the Tuono 660 factory will have more paint jobs than the rather boring looking black/red one. The RS660 factory got so much love with the blue and yellow versions :(

[@6tdegrees]

Those images of the aprilia tuono v4 are the previous model not the 2025.. just fyi

The badge snobs will disagree and will also justify all the maintenance required.

[@lecoq79]

@@georgemavrides3434 Nowadays since it's a VAG-brand there's not much 'required maintenance to be justified'. @suvansh29 The CB1000 en the Pani V2 are two totally different bikes with their own potential group of buyers.

Shame no updated Speed Triple 1200 RS for 2025, maybe Triumph have discontinued the model.

[@anasabzakh1988]

Still early for this, isnt it ? Some 2025 models/specs are not yet released !

I predict Ducati will be next getting in trouble like KTM, there pricing is stupid for products that are not worth it especially when you look at what you get from Honda now.

[@Wasabi-one]

Anyone giving money to ktm would be totally silly. Hornet is definitely giving everyone run for their money at that level. Z900 is awesome update. It needed it. Lastly tuono 457 very cool

Why is a 750 over 200kg fueled! Surely they should be like 170, to make them fun and flickable, to pair up with that nice 750cc motor

[@Cthooligan]

Ducati releasing wet weight with no fuel. Then it isn't really wet is it? I don't know about you but I don't, and literally can't, ride without fuel, so that original provided number is useless. Average weight for a gallon of gas in avg temperatures is around 6 lbs per gallon. Meaning fully fueled the weight is closer to 410lb ready to ride. Why do mfg's have to do this fiddly numbers nonsense? You're not fooling anyone, just creating the need for more consumer research and math.
