Alright show of hands, who was expecting to see a Triumph in the top spot? I guess I just haven't spent enough time with our giveaway Street Triple R... If you want to win it head over to yammienoob.co and sign up!

Why does everyone hate the Gladius?

[@minimaxxmaniac231]

Number one should have been a turbo B-king! 😄

[@andrewhibbs346]

Yammie Noob bandit 600 had a massive impact on the naked scene before the Sv don’t know where I’d put it on my list but it would have to be in there for sure

[@Bes1997_]

Gotta tell you Yam, this was one of the best videos you made so far. Excellent clips, choices and commentary! And also the song for some reason. Dramatic but effective.

[@southendparaquest]

Honestly surprised the Street Triple didn't win top spot. MCN voted it bike of the decade, after all. I've test ridden one and they really are impeccable. Docile enough to commute on, that turns into a grin inducing animal when you give it some beans. And the howl from the airbox is quite unique.

[@jatinshukla9064]

Ducati Monster is so pretty. I remember when it came out in the 90s and I still think it's one of the best looking bikes

[@GabryLuke3D]

check out Moto Guzzi's Griso: truly a work of art

[@karljay7473]

I was down to 4 bikes: Monster, ZRX, 919, Buell. I got the 919. I always wanted to see how the 919 compared to the Monster in terms of handling the twisties and the 919 needs a bit of suspension work to be great, but otherwise, very happy with the 919 and they seem to be value priced.

[@OriginalCovfefe]

Definitely a timeless bike

[@khriszty2000]

I've owned a 620 Dark, but my next bike will be an SV650. The Monster is, for me, the best looking bike ever, but the Ducatis are so damn unreliable... 🥺

[@savvasgerakios4048]

I love the monster as well but to afford to buy it or maintain it you have to be financially strong not the average paid guy.

[@jerlaine1638]

1 as an SV650 owner I came specifically for the thumbnail 2 Bikes are like a good woman, they look good dressed but are better naked and we happily spend all our money on them 3 God I love a naked Streetfighter look

[@jquiznos2283]

Streetfighter FTW

[@BG-wz1iu]

Jesus dude. Misogyny much...

[@keltecdan]

I agree. I have an 09 sfv650 gladius and is my first bike. I’d love to get a Ducati monster 821 or streetfighter 848.

[@tobiassigsonne3871]

my first bike, which i got in august is an 03 sv650s and completely agree with yammies thoughts on the sv650 it can do no wrong

[@user-vs7sb9wg2r]

As soon as you said that the Ducati monster is second, because of accessibility, I knew the No.1 will be the SV650. Similar mechanics, but way more common everywhere.

[@hellize4212]

Exactly

[@joejohnson4970]

Good choices!! MT07/09 are both great bikes but SV650 deserves the win. Held its game for a long time, had its Brittany Spears moment with the gladius and came back stronger with the 3rd gen! Plus I've a got a 2017 so that helps my opinion!

[@The1977andi]

Suzuki bandit, the bike that made me want a bike.

[@nazagato]

Before the B-King and the BMW K1200R, there was the naked Blackbird, also known as the Honda X11. The X11 has been my daily ride for the last 13 years

Z900 has every bells and whistles for a no nonsense naked bike ! Its powerful, torqy, light, and comfortable with grayish handling with basic electronics and that sweet snarl from 4 cylinder 900cc engine !

[@RevertiveDeath]

I got my Z900RS last year, it's a fabulous machine. I know it's geared differently from the non retro version but both are fantastic naked bikes.

[@boxingchamp630]

I have just sold my 2001 sv650n yesterday. Best starter bike you could ever want. Lots of fun, really low maintenance and it handles like a dream. Finally bought myself an MT07 👍

Sold my black 2001 back in 2014. Will always have a place in my heart. My first ride.

[@brian07900]

[@tomallison9362]

I love that the sv650 made top spot. I knew it would be on this list tho. I have never owned one personally, but it's like one of my dream bikes.

[@jalan8171]

Yammie, How about a future presentation on the best street bikes to sport a kick starter? Yes, there are so many riders that don't know that street motorcycles once had these mechanisms, but it could serve as an educational vehicle ( pun intended ) for presenting a part of motorcyclings glorious past.

[@SlimRhyno]

Damn, I appreciate the fact that you include exhaust sound bytes. I know, aftermarket systems [insert excuse here], but I appreciate it. 🤙

[@Lieutenant-E]

How did the Suzuki 1250 Bandit not make this list? Very popular in the US and Europe.

[@jayflash2035]

Totally agree, all bandits, esp 600 & 1200 are worthy of this list...

[@mkn8225]

Just bought 1200 and selling old 600 so totally agree

[@jammer4578]

Thanks for the sound check.

[@jonathanluttrell1380]

My current motorcycle is a 2021 Street Triple R, but my previous was a 2007 SV650S. It definitely deserved the number 1 spot. The power wasn't insane but the torque and the lovely exhaust note was amazing.

[@zakiasakura6481]

You just had to cut the video right when the Aprilia Tuono started revving! Nevermind, I'll go rev my own bike 😁

OMG i love your videos

Great video! Perfect list and get like original yammi with current production value. Didn’t hurt that I thought your ranking was spot on. I do have a soft spot for my FZ07 tho...

[@PingHongTan]

Thanks, this video made my day. my first bike was a VTR250. From then on, I only wanted naked bikes. My 2nd bike was a Triumph Street Triple R, i did my first mono on that bike. After that I had a 2010 FZ1n, and that bike was modified and scare the poop out of me. I'm now on an SV650. I got it over a lot of recommendations by friends, and I love it. It just sounds so good. and it's just great to ride.

Did my Direct Access training and tests on an SV650, good bike

[@aleksandarjovanovic7568]

As sv650s and gs500 owner I feel appretiation towards this chanel.

[@ognumnz]

Honorable Mention: Kawasaki (ZR250) Balius. Not a large engine, not super fast, but it's an inline 4-cyl with a redline of 19k. We'll never get a naked screamer like this again :(

[@jacksonallan954]

All the Japanese manufacturers had a version of the same idea of an over-engineered naked four-cylinder 250 in the 1990s: the Hornet 250 for Honda, the Balius for Kawasaki, the Bandit 250 for Suzuki, and the Zeal for Yamaha. All were great fun.

[@ognumnz]

@@jacksonallan954 An ex-girlfriend was a naked screamer, too. I might miss her sometimes but the neighbours probably don't. Edit: but seriously: I'm keeping an eye on my local sales for all of these. But not the ex.

I love my 2003 Sv 650 . Sounds amazing and pretty quick

[@ColonelMustard]

Had a 2008 B King and it was absolutely ridiculous. I miss that bike everyday.

[@abc2662]

I understand the concept, and I’ve owned and ridden some of the bikes that made your list, but I’d like to register that the best naked sport bike I’ve ridden is the MV Agusta Brutale 1090 RR back in 2013. It was an espiritual experience 🙂

[@challengerjetdriver]

Bravo! Speed Triple, love my 2008!

[@bendooley550]

You put the duke just a few spots too low for my liking. It is the ultimate embodiment of what a naked should be.

[@Girthology]

Yah, nakeds shouldn't just be racers with no fairings, higher bars, and detuned motors. No, they should be fun, torquey hoon machines and SD1290 is if you took that concept to 11. Though as a 1290 owner I might be biased..

[@m.rsteengrei3569]

If he did not introduce "The King : Superduke" , , , I would hunt him down and kill him very slowly :) :) :)

[@VinciGlassArt]

Ha! That's awesome! My first bike was a '82 CB750SC. And my second is(soon to be was) the Honda 919(Hornet) . I've been up and down and across the nation on that thing. Such a sweet, effortless, powerful ride. Meanwhile the 750SC was a black and chrome BEAST with 4 into 4 exhaust that I still haven't heard anything like again. Loved that thing. So glad to see them both here.

[@joehemsworth4162]

Nailed it for Number one. I bought my first bike in 1999 and I drooled over the SV650. Ended up buying a used Honda VTR Firestorm which was one heck of a bike. But I think I may finally have to get that SV or maybe the CB650R decisions decisions.

[@thevtadventure1062]

The KTM super duke 990 was pretty cool too always wanted one when I Was younger.

[@sebbwebbo7557]

Agree with the Speed Triple. I remember watching Mission Impossible 2 in TV and there's a scene where Tom Cruise is riding a Speed Triple - man that was so cool :D That was the point in my life where I started thinking about motorcycles - especially triumph motorcycles.. Triples are still sexy - but the round headlights were awesome.

[@seansamurai1981]

The B-king handled like a barge which went completely against the grain for hypernakeds. The BMW K1200R is damn rapid, really nice to ride too.

[@dedmajor]

My dad has owned like 6 SV650s over the years. He currently has two, one he has liveried up in Suzuki Ecstar GP colours and the other is a yellow gold streetfighter he spent half a year building. Both gorgeous and smooth riding

I have a 2014 Honda CB500F it's my first bike and I love it!

[@84gssteve]

The SV650 came at the right time to be successful. Sporting V-twins were really taking off thanks to Ducati pushing Honda and Suzuki to develop racing bikes to compete against them on the track, which provided exposure and an alternative to 15 years of 4-cylinder sport bike convention. Prior V-twin street bikes like the Hawk 650 and VX800 were objectively great bikes, but came at a time when people were only interested in the screaming inlines that came about in the late 80's and early 90's. My personal favorite naked is a bike closely connected to several of the bikes on this list despite not being on it, nor being very remember able at all. The Bandit 400 is nearly a match for the 1st gen SV in every respect and has a 14K rpm inline GSX-R engine despite being pushed as an "entry level" bike. It also looks a hell of a lot like a Ducati Monster despite being released several years prior. The GSF400 Bandit had all the character and fun that the GS500E sorely lacked, even though the 500E sold well and lasted for decades as a more pedestrian, but near rival for the SV650. The later air-cooled Bandit 600/1200 did OK, but in my opinion never had the slick look and racer-naked feel of the original, now forgotten Bandit.

[@garymartin557]

I rode a sv650 fir the first time about a month ago , I heard a lot of hype but thought it's guna be some boring beginer bike and people only say its good because it's a first bike and it gets the job done . Boy was I wrong , I loved it, it feels easy to ride yes but gas a proper muscular feel, with a can on it sounded awesome, like a muscle car on 2 wheels and has plenty of usable fun power. Even a beginer can pin the throttle and learn to launch that thing and it will beat pretty much anything to 60, I had so much fun on it, I think ite awesome, and I ride litre bikes normally, I rode a z650 and the sv650 is much better , the cbr650 is awesome too, but I feel the sv650 has more character the way it rides. Too look at the sv650 looks a little boring but when I rode it my mind was changed, its a deceiving bike, but awesome.
