The Street is, IMHO, the most inspiring bike of the decade.

I'm a fan of naked bikes.

My next bike will probably be a Street Triple

riding is like anything else in life, its just more fun naked

im not wild about those naked 675s, all they did is make a speed triple without a sss. takes a lot of the uniqueness away in my opinion.

It's a bit overdone; kind of gaudy if you ask me.

The Street Triple is aggressive but simple.

I like the dual headlights.

Thanks Graph. We were all very curious about what kind of naked bikes you like.

probably because they're tryign to copy the speed3.

it's why nekkid SV guys jack the lights off of boo-ells.

twin headlight + flyscreen (aka the johnny5 look) is way less ridiculous than the praying mantis head headlight of the brutale or the veritech fighter light of the tuono.

i love naked bikes, much better to use everyday than a sport bike.
so much more comfortable, much better view of the road, and cars beside you. The mirrors are acutally usable. Makes for easier in and out traffic riding lol

If i where to buy a naked, i would want the tuono Factory, oh wait, i did buy it
