TBH I think my Honda CB1000R is that type of bike, stupidly powerful engine in an over styled bike.

The Diavel is Ducati's take on a cruiser.

The XR1200X is Harley's take on a Sportsbike.

Your Homda is a super naked, like a Katoom Superduke or a Z1000.

A BMW R18 is a large engine motorcycle without a fairing, is it a CB1000R competitor?

Could be if you liked the looks of both of them.

Nothing wrong with that:
