Naked is the only way to go !!

If you're not too fussy about getting a K5 - a few dealers still have some K3's & 4's in stock going for about £4000 - £4500 - how cheap is that !!!

If you do want a K5, I understand there's a shortage 'cos dealers have used up their allocations on the faired ones - & that you'd be lucky to get one this side of Xmas !!

Poll is working.

I'm considering an SV1K next year. But I'm also thinking about several other bikes as well.

Nekkids do look good but I'm used to my curvy 650s.

I've ridden both.

If you want to go over 80mph (on a track, obviously ) then go for the S, if you don't go on motorways at all then the nekkid is worth looking at.

Once you've ridden naked you'll never fancy it the other way .

I love naked bikes and the wind clawing at me is just part of the thrill, man against nature. Oh and it ultimately stops you from riding at imprisonable speeds (more or less).

Only wusses hide behind a fairing .

Now I've got my Supermoto, I'd say Nakkid is the way forward - really good fun I'd say

I love the syling of faired so there's no way I would consider buying a naked...

Sorry guys, I just think it looks swrong having the styling all racey at the rear, then this big round light that looks out of the 60's stuck on the front... Kind of like it's incomplete...
