The Top 10 Best Super Naked Motorbikes of 2024

Dumping a load of power into a bike with no wind protection whatsoever is a silly idea. And we're all for it. The super naked segment is perhaps the most exciting of all in the motorcycle world, and the fact that the name 'super naked' will sound bizarre to non-bike literate folk is a big bonus.

What we particularly like about the super naked class is it’s not a niche - there are loads of options from a wide variety of manufacturers, and they’re all quite different. Whatever your brand allegiances and engine configuration/cylinder count preferences, there’s an option for you.

We’ve gathered together what we reckon are the 10 best super nakeds you can buy, based on extensive (and very blustery) testing on road and track.


10. MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR


5. Aprilia Tuono V4 1100


1. Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS



OK, so it's a clickbaity thread... but it's bikes and discussions

I had no idea that the speed triple put out 178 horses

Neither did I. My 1050 is supposed to produce 128, I didn't think 150cc could make that much difference!

[Skub]

The V4 Tuono is a brilliant bike,I considered buying one,but my nerves wouldn't allow me to suffer the horrendous reliability bother of the more recent models.

[Supermofo]

I'd love a Tuono as I think that Aprilia V4 sounds the absolute nuts with a pipe. But like Skub I'd be too chicken shit of the reliability issues. So MT10 is next best for me.

[KungFooBob]

I've got a 2024 Naked Motorbike. I think it's pretty super.

Having owned both...

The MT-10 was an incredible disappointment... Great engine noise, but that was about it. GSXS1000 is a better bike by some margin, even if it doesn't sound as cool.

The Tuono though... By christ I'd love another one! Absolutely ridiculously good bike, too much so for UK roads... Hence why I sold it. But what an epic machine it was!

I see no one's mentioned Royal Enfield.

Hasn't the Tuono got a fairing and therefore isn't naked

Yeahbutt mandlebars.

It is to a fairing what a mankini is to evening wear...

It leaves a LOT to the imagination, put it that way...

Hence it's classed as a naked in reality...

Did you look at the picture?

Headlight fairing, check
Side panels, check
huge belly pan, check.

There's more fairing then there isn't iYSWIM
It's about as naked as a man in cutoff jeans

It's got a higher screen than the 98 R1 I had

[mboy]

Did you look at the picture?

I do love armchair experts!

It was my ACTUAL bike... Do I need to look at the picture...?

I have owned a great many faired bikes in the past... The "faired" bits on the Tuono are so minimalist as to effectively be non existent. They are more of a styling exercise than they are one of protection. It provides so little in the way of protection from the elements even at legal speeds as to be effectively pointless! But it does look cool...

EVERY sports bike I have owned has had far more effective protection from the elements, even if the screen hasn't been particularly tall.

Ride one... You'll see why it's considered a naked bike and not a faired one...

That's the stock screen on the base model V4 1100 Tuono, which for some reason, they've tried to turn into a touring bike (longer gearing, more relaxed riding position, taller screen, pillion comforts etc.)...

The stock screen on the Factory I had is almost non existent.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Looks higher than a 98 R1

[Bigjawa]

As someone who has owned GSXR1100 Streetfighters, Bandits, a tuned naked VTR, GS1000s and now a K1200R with the worlds most useless half fairing, anything over 80 mph is a pain in the hole.

I'm wondering if the neck/back problems I have were exacerbated by riding fast nakeds for years.

[mboy]

Looks higher than a 98 R1

Screen is probably about the same height...

But the bars are 6 inches lower down on an old R1, thus most of your body is behind the screen not above it.

Also the fairing on the R1 might have been considered minimalist when it came out, but there's still a lot more of it to hide behind than there is on a Tuono...

[Ian]

I like supernakeds but the 98 R1 is still a fantastic looking bike
