Clothed or Naked - whats your choice?

[Botch]

I love my faired '07, but Wavex's black beauty makes me drool too...

 

[Rolly]

I voted naked cos that's my preference......I think it looks a lot cooler. For me, it's the best looking bike in it's class but with a fairing on it is less distinctive and the fairing looks a little like a "bolt on accessory" to me rather than an integral part of the bike. I say this having only owned an FZ6 for 24 hours and always having owned fully faired bikes in the past. I'm guessing I may not be as keen when it starts raining during my commute!!

Windblast yesterday below 100mph was just not an issue......in fact, I quite enjoyed the open and exposed feel of the bike, my last bike (a ZZR1200, which I loved and will also be replaced soon I hope) has loads of bulky mass to the front of the rider, it's hard to explain but you always feel like you are steering the ZZR where IT needs to go whereas on the FZ6 you feel like you are steering your own body into the curve. That probably makes no sense at all.......I'll get me coat!

Surely, there can't be many days on Rhodes when the weather is so appalling that can't ride, can there?

Actually this year we've had a lot of rain.

Thanks man! It is an FZ6 that I turned into a naked with an FZ1N headlight. See here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-streetfigher/3228-fz1n-naked-headlight-project.html

I like the looks of that fully clothed..

 

[Maverick]

The more plastics, the more I dislike it

I like naked, since -imho- it's the only way you can really feel the freedom of riding a motorcycle :Sport:

Plus, let's face it, naked just looks much better :rockon:

I'm not sure, but I think I see panties on her (belly pan)?

 

[Wavex]

well "some" plastic can be used here and there :iconbeer:

Heres a pic of my baby.
Mods so far:
Chrome bar ends
Clear turn signal with chrome coated bulbs with orange light
Clear and slightly darkened stop signal with a red led board

Soon:
Chrome radiator cover (still haven't found one I like)
Exhaust ( I love the Two Bros)

I prefer clothed, but if you offered me Wavex bike I would have it in a heart beat.

Imagine if Yamaha showed that level of PD on the naked. It would be the market leader for sure.

haha thanks bro that's a nice comment... but would you say "no" to any bike offered to you?

What does PD mean? product development?

Why on earth did you buy a bike without trying it or other one first?! if you're going to be riding flat out all the time with mates on sportsbikes, why even consider a naked bike at all?
