[@MarquisDeSang]

Come visit me in the “Laurentides”, you will be frozen with your naked bike.

[@CycleCruza]

I drove through east TN this past summer and it was so hot and humid. It reminded me of when I lived in South Florida. I can't stand humidity, reason I stay in Cleveland, OH. We hardly ever get humidity like that.

[@-mystical-16]

I don’t blame you.The humidity out here takes away the motivation to do anything outside.

[@-mystical-16]

I don’t doubt it. Lol. Hopefully you can get some safe riding done.

[@Frank_Torre]

I honestly hated naked bikes for so long. I've been riding for over 14 years now and until 2021 I never rode or owned a naked bike. But now my back loves a naked bike so much. Right now I could maybe handle 3 or 4 hours tops on a sportbike or supersport, but my back will hate me for it. Way I see it I'd rather ride a naked bike and feel comfortable than give up riding. That said I've no intention of getting a heavy cruiser, so naked bikes are the way for me.

[@Arsenec]

I actually think that Naked bikes look better than sport bikes

[@chuckkelley5894]

I can’t see my bike when I ride and it’s all about the riding. Aesthetics are for the spectators. The bike doesn’t make me look cool, I make the bike look cool.

[@Smerdzy]

You know you're bullshitting. I don't want to ride an ugly bike, just because it handles well.

[@dalesharpy9197]

I love my 2019 Honda CB1000R, the riding position is sweet, the simple look without the fairings is clean and uncluttered and I always get compliments on it's looks and design. I am a Boomer used to the open faced bikes from my very first bike at age 16......the 1976 Kawasaki KH-400 2 Stroke Triple, a 1980 Yamaha 650 Maxxim, 1988 Yamaha 700 Fazer, 1989 Kawasaki ZL10000 Eliminator to name a few. I did buy mini cruiser shields for a couple of them which made road trips a bit more delightful. Age 63 Riding experience of 47 years.... O CRASHES..... knock on wood

[@CycleCruza]

That is a good looking naked bike for sure. Actually, I think that bike is one the best looking Japanese naked bikes. Cool to see a long time rider! Nice array of bikes you had.

[@calvinevans8305]

4:55 YEAH, I traded my Hayabusa in for a Yamaha MT10 mainly for the upright riding position and CP4 engine sound. I did my 600 mile break in oil change with a smile on my face because it was so easy. No broken or lost clips, no fooling around with plastic. I love the quick shifter and auto blipper as well. The seat is the only problem for me. I ordered a comfort seat from Yamaha, but it's back ordered. I hope to get it in May.

[@PastorMattMoto]

Nice to see you are still out riding and making content man! I've been watching your channel for years, and actually picked a great deal on an Mt07 Yamaha-Davidson myself at the end of last season lol :) :). Hopefully I'll have it on my channel soon as well!

[@Lex-Rex]

Naked bikes are the best. There are no negatives. Especially when you get older in age and cannot handle the ergos of a sport bike for everyday use. I agree with you Cruza the wind is not an issue and I use my 1290 Super Duke for touring and I do not use a shield and I am in my 50s.

[@CycleCruza]

I never understood why some riders complain about the wind on the naked bikes. lol I've had three naked bikes and it has never been an issue. Even on my supermoto wind has never been an issue.

[@EEEBA1]

@@CycleCruza The wind is not a problem but a constant wind on your chest makes you tired quicker on the longer rides, that is all.

[@nanaholic01]

@@EEEBA1 That’s an oversimplification. For example the super sports bike riding position will tire you out more than a more upright naked due to bending over and constantly working out your core body muscles every second as you try to keep your body weight off your wrists so you don’t mess them up (ppl who complains about wrist pain on a SS bike are, in fact, riding it wrong), even with the wind protection it’s a far harder workout than a normal upright position which is a far more natural position for your body. If you aren’t exactly fit a super sports bike will tire you out far more easily than a naked, even without the wind.

[@EEEBA1]

@@nanaholic01 Yeah, I agree with that. After riding supersports for years I'm finally switching to a more upright riding position. My heart still loves them but they are not as practical for long distances.

[@nanaholic01]

@@EEEBA1 I started out riding on a Honda CBR and recently changed to a Triumph Street Triple, the difference in riding position is huge. On the Honda I have to take breaks every hour and riding about 200km in day - a mix of highways and streets riding - is about the max I can do, and the next day I don't want to do anything but stay in bed. On the Street Triple I can do 350kms in a day, take just a couple of breaks for food and drinks, and the next day I'm just feeling like I worked out in the gym for a couple of hours, some sore muscles but the happy kind of sore. The difference is huge. If I do primarily long distance riding there's no way I'll pick a supersports bike cos those fairings cutting the wind isn't worth it.

[@cG-es8mb]

I have a z900. I like the looks of it overall. There are certain angles I can look at it and not like the looks as much. Wind protection ain’t bad. Rode 300 miles in one day on mine and it fine. Booty gets numb some but then I just put one cheek on the seat and have the other cheek off and alternate. The oil change is very easy to do on it. It has a lot of pep. When making a turn off road onto a street 3rd or 2nd is good and have to easily roll some on the throttle. If too much throttle it will knock me off balance and jerk me baxkwards. Would like to ride a 400 to compare the difference. But yeah, riding on interstate I just lean a tad forward and allow the wind to keep me in that position. Not bad unless I start wanting to sight see by looking to the right and left, that’s when wind bothers me. But starting to Move head a little to right or left and then use my eyes to look farther which helps.

[@CycleCruza]

Nice bike! I never understood why some people complain about the wind on a naked bike. lol They do have aftermarket taller windscreens for most naked bikes.

[@alexanderbaum9677]

I just got an mt10. It's fantastic, and it hangs with pretty much anything out there. Sure, top speed is a little lower than a real R1, but flat out acceleration and street riding, it's pretty much identical.

[@DrInsane76]

Got one too and i think its pretty decent looking. 😎

[@lucyferina]

On a quarter mile race the mt10 will always beat an r1, both being stock, on a longer run the r1 will win because of the power band is in the higher rpm on the r1 and on the lower rpm’s on the mt10 otherwise they share the same engine.

[@CycleCruza]

Nice! What is better is the MT10 is tuned for more bottom end grunt and mid-range power, where you want it for street riding. The R1 is more stout at the top end for the track, just like it should be. All of the MT lineup are awesome street bikes. Enjoy!

[@alexanderbaum9677]

@CycleCruza Thanks, man! I plan on it, it's such a great bike, and I think it's sexy as hell too!

Part of why they are considered ugly is because manufacturers can't seem to figure out what colours are. If I'm going to have to pay 15k for a bike I'd better be able to get the colour I want. I don't care if I have to pay an extra 100 for it.

[@trsskater]

The 2018-2024 zx-6r you don't have to take off any fairings to do an oil change. Only time you have to take fairings off is to change your air filter and spark plugs but its 1 screen and it slides off. Its more work to get the hoses off and back on than to take the part of the fairings off that you need. Kawasaki knows their audiance with that bike. They know most of those bikes will never see a track haha. The extra cc's is for more mid range on the street and the dented in looking front of the tank and shorter wind screen is for stunters. The 2024 even upped the mid range power even more even though the max horse power has been lowered.

Not to say it isn't fun, it's perfect for around town or highway and IMU is nice to have. I'd say go for it if you really Ike the bike or take it for a test ride if you can

[@BenjaminKitchens-zf7qf]

Realizing that this post is kinda old relatively speaking… Give me naked or give me death! I’ve been on two wheels for 35+ years (29 legally on the street) and the naked bikes take me back like no other. I love a revy four banger on the track, but there is something to be said for the midrange punch of a twin (V or otherwise) or a triple (thank you Triumph and Yamaha) that just can’t be put into words. I can say that I have been lucky enough to put a buddies Tuono 1100 through its paces and their V4 has all the aforementioned magic I speak of. Pound for pound, I’ll take most super sports in the the twisties on my old Buell xb9sx on fresh rubber.

[@Eyeluvvyou]

Still loving the fz07?

[@iamziim]

Your link to your helmet doesn’t work

[@hullbreachdetected4846]

I used to own a 2019 plate KTM 1290 superduke, I think those bike look awesome, even better in person. I also believe Ducati Streetfighter and MV Augusta naked bikes look gorgeous.

[@philcarr7015]

I'm with you on the headlights that they put on modern makes bikes. Why do they have to put those but she headlights on when a round of even a rectangle light would look better? Even a single light that is contoured to fit the style of the rest of the bike would be nice. And yeah, that Kawi you showed is hidious.

[@sattvicvelo3506]

Is that a black widow exhaust? What happened to the Akrapovich ?

[@yeahyourerightheresmystupi5352]

I just wish the mt09 had a seat similar to the mt03,r3 rather than feeling like a snowmobile

[@terrystewart8923]

I JUST WANNA RIDE...

[@ananthapadmana6han]

sport bike: princess pookie naked: warrior yup that's what I feel personally

[@letseewhathappens101]

Love my naked SV had a small wreck and didn't have to replace any plastics

[@crankybear1236]

Nakeds are my favorite. I think the round headlight goes a long way.

[@CycleCruza]

I think MV Agusta makes the coolest looking naked bikes.

[@HumbleRider88]

Wind gives you the feeling of freedom, a lot of ppl say they don't like wind or rain, what's the point for buying a bike? Buy a bloody car and keep quiet😂

[@Antonio_zx6r]

I sold my Z900 for a ZX6R and I don’t regret it. I do mostly highway riding and I can cut through that wind without getting blown around like a sail.

[@Hash9377]

You probably suck at riding technical roads

[@alexanderbaum9677]

When I had a z900 I just put a bigger windscreen on it. Felt pretty similar to my zx6r.

[@mn_mt0964]

22sp is just to much fun just gotta respect that throttle cause she cranks at 5k rpm when u get on it

[@MotoRiff77]

I put a Puig touring windscreen on because I do alot of highway miles, I did a vid if you want to see what it looks like

[@TheParaxore]

Man idk why but I looked in all your links and I could not find that Hi-vis jacket you are wearing in this video. Maybe the airbag vest is throwing me off but I like the look of it and Hi vis is always a good choice. Can I grab a link for it?

[@CycleCruza]

The color may be a little different now with the new colors but here is the jacket: imp.i104546.net/k0OR3L My hi viz airbag vest that I wear over my jacket: cyclecruza.com/w34j

[@powamoto]

Ya'all keep ya naked bikes I'm sorry 😮I'll be Rollin on my super sport cbr1000rr bye bye 👋the wind the wind 🍃

[@Hash9377]

People who ride naked usually know more about bikes than supersport owners

[@davidb7358]

Great points! Looks are so subjective though. I really like the lights on the Triumph Speed/Street Triples.

[@sliggy6834]

Wind therapy🏍

[@MJ-rr4hd]

my biggest complain about the factory naked bikes are the de-tuned engine / less power. dont know why the hell they do it. they reduce from 200+hp to a mere 150 / 165 hp. these naked bikes cant even make it to 170 mph but supersports do 200+mph.

[@aw7870]

Main thing is ride the motorcycle you thing looks good. Not what some random people will think! Nice video

[@kelemenkovacs7388]

"The ugly truth about naked motorcycles" *proceeds to talk about why naked bikes are amazing

[@iggymach]

I'm researching for mid-range (600cc to 900cc) naked bikes that I will also use for touring in summer (around 4 to 5 hours tours). I am considering the trident 660 as I love its rounded classic looks (the competition has that "transformers" looks that I cannot digest), but is it good for touring? What would be the best naked bike for touring? Thanks guys.

[@dougiequick1]

My whole entire problem with naked motorcycles starts with my age as in OLDER than DIRT...so back in the day NOTHING but naked bikes so much so they just called em motorcycles NEVER "naked" but then as the years rolled by Sport bikes appeared! They looked like something right off the GP circuit just AWESOME and I became addicted to THAT look so now nakeds look ugly where they did not used to, And personally I GET the whole srgonomics thing trust me my body is beat to shit! BUT there is literally ZERO actual real reason we cant have (non adv) sport styled full faired or part faired motorcycles with relaxed ergos! The UGLY truth is the marketing idiots just REFUSE to give that to us! REFUSE! and it pisses me off more and more and more! I mean think about it! there is NOTHING preventing an engineering team from simply making the fairing a little taller and wider to accomodate higher bars! NOTHING! And obviously the foot pegs can be placed anywhere.....but they dam just WONT DO IT! You either have to lean on your wrists hunched over in full race tuck OR ride a BUTT ugly Naked motorcycle I wish motorcyclist would unite and REBEL demanding comfort sport motorcycles! In fact they COULD even simply offer PIECES that converted an ergonomically uncomfortable sportbike into a comfy one! I envision the top part of the fairing seperating so you could pop on the taller wider one in the same paint scheme then unbolt the clip ons and rearsets and replace with relaxed fit pieces easy peacy throttle squeezy. Take the latest Triumph Speed Triple Cafe ...BEAUTIFUL motorcycle that EVERYONE despises as a torture machine.....WHY Triumph?? Are you idiots CRAZY?? You do know who has the money for these and likes the cafe style right? OLD DUDES with worn out beat to crap bodies!

[@ninety9million928]

Love your videos. Get you a 360 camera. I think the scenery is nice in most of your vids. Thx

[@TerraMagnus]

The neo classics have it figured out. Beautiful motorcycles with modern guts.

[@thegentleman90]

The 2023 BMW M1000R competition is one badass looking bike.

[@cesarvalerio4292]

Great vídeo! I agree. The best could happen is to have both or more types of motorcycles, but It takes lots of money. Greetings from Brasil.

[@ocelot1340]

yo cyclecruza do you wear any armor underneath your pants? been debating on buying some jeans with kevlar in them or something for slide protection. owner of a new mt 09 lol love it and the 07.

[@operator0]

The modern classics do look good though. The Z900RS and Bonneville line look fantastic. Even some of the retro bikes look cool, like the Trident. The best looking of them all though, is the Triumph Thruxton. That thing looks sick. Easily as good, or better than most sport bikes.

[@nephilymbass1]

300-700cc naked bikes are really the best bikes for 55mph and under roads. They are better than super sports because you sit upright and can see better and have much better low speed maneuverability , better than super motos because you’re not sitting on a high dirt bike seat. Better than cruisers because they are more fun to ride and you’re less likely to get mowed down by a Tesla on autopilot. Some of the things people complain about I welcome. It’s 100 degrees with crazy humidity here today. I definitely don’t want wind protection. They complain about low gearing, but what’s the alternative? Having high gearing but only using half your gears. Even the baby naked bikes can break 100mph. The only exception is the cb300r which can do 97mph. You never need higher gearing on the street, if you don’t want to shift gears buy a damn scooter.

[@kamakazecam]

I wish I could take the instrument cluster from the 2020 mt09 and put it on something else. The 2020 mt09 is my dream bike

[@jasonwilson9207]

I got a CBR 600RR I never touch a fairing bolt to do an oil change

[@DEADxCoOL]

The xsr900, cb1000r, monster 1200, and diavel are gorgeous naked bikes

[@DavidSimpsonSpecialForces]

Who gives a rats ass what other people think about the looks of your ride. I bought my ride based on my likes, not someone else's!!

[@extremeencounter7458]

I’ll ride an ugly bike if it sits nice lmao

[@backroadbeetle4781]

I'm looking at the Buell 1190sx, has all the superbike stuff. Only thing they did was make it naked, and the motor is already punchy.

[@Cre8Lounge]

Why only those size bikes are naked?

[@dahjo13]

This is why buy both, one with fairings and one without.

[@nathanieljackson5423]

That house at 1:35 in the top right looks like another popular Ohio motovlogger crib.

[@pete7971]

I love my naked yamaha 250 yz 2 stroke, 51 hp of grunt and weighs 227 lb wet.

[@annfranksus1531]

I love my suzi bandit, it has the fairings, but its not overkill. You can get to everything without the hassle of a super sport

[@piouy_retr0507]

Wise word brother, you're always very shiny on your bikes 😆

[@lifeontwowheels1206]

The look of a motorbike is not everything It’s the way it makes you feel when you are riding it I love naked bikes just more comfy and easier to work on Honda hornet doesn’t look quite as good as the mt07 But it’s more fun everyone says Going to test ride one You make some good points in this video

[@JimS47]

Couldn’t hear anything over the blinker.

[@richardcerritelli9657]

How the hell could you handle 3 or 4 hours on a super sport motorcycle I can deadlift over 650 lb my back is strong and if I'm on a super sport for 3 hours I'm in the hospital lol 😂

[@extremeencounter7458]

Can lay on the tank I guess, for me my hips hurt pretty quick but that’s me
