chose a naked cause ive already had a faired and fancied a change plus it look's better imho and it's more comfy.

faired cos doesnt every one love reapiring loads of plastic when you throw thm down the road. :)

dont know why but nakid didnt even come into my head, ive just alwasy prefered the faired bikes.

Bikes owned.....

Naked 125stroker

Half-Faired 600 budget4 (naked for a bit)

Naked 650 V-twin
Half-Faired 1000 V-twin (naked for a bit)

Naked 1400 4
Half-Faired 650 V-twin

Folk who buy naked and then stick some god-awful fairy fly screen on them want shooting. If they rode their bikes a bit more their body would condition itself to that kind of posture. (Pushing the bulk to roundabout the front midriff it seems for me.:D )

Naked was for me again was to keep average speeds down. Generally crusing at 80-90 instead of 130 on the faired bike.

If you are thinking you need a bit of plastic infront of you to go touring you are riding on the wrong roads. ;)

Naked is just more hardcore and not as diluted an experience, riding or looking.






Where is that " Do you feel you are getting old thread?" ;):mrgreen:

faired chosen purely on looks.

Had a naked,more up right riding position,liked the look of the faired version,has different riding position which I find is comfortable.

It was the right price at the time, dont like the low handlebars, but love thw wind protection. I know you can get the high bart kits, but I dont wanna cut my screen up.

It was really cheap at the time for my Faired bike at £1300 and 11000 miles but I would prefer a naked as soo easy to work on! And some nice wide bars!
