Not the V4 Nekked - they have slight colour changes on existing models from what i've seen.

But the KTM faired bike is out... with bigger engine

Is that its theme song?

I like it, MCN reckon between £7K - £7.5K .

I would not buy it though as its Naked and i like the wind protection really.

I (fingers crossed ) will be changing my bike next summer and i am seriously looking at the 675 !!

I love it, it does kind of jar on the eye as so many bits aren't "traditional" bike shapes, like the exhaust, headlight etc. But I reckon it works brilliantly as a package.

Compared with the new Blade, it's a work of art

Sweeeeet, but they are tiny, they need to inflate one a bit, then I'd have one, oh wait then it'd be a 955i, that'll do

Though this particular one does look like someone with a severe dietary disorder had shat on it from a great height...


... so - I'm not keen on the colour then!

They are slim just as slim as the SV but quite high in the seat.

the tripple is the bestc compromise for me, acceleration and tourque, apparanty it pulls hard from 2000RPM all the way, and you dont have to rag the tits off it to get it to move. best of the IL4 and a V-twin, looks good as well. Just hoping the finances work out next summer!!

The V4 naked is planned for next year I believe. However Apriilia are all hands to the pumps to produce the V4 race rep for 2009. It will probably be unveiled at the trade shows next septemberish.


I think the motor in the new naked Honda 1000 is a slightly detuned Fireblade plant.

I don't like either of them.
