Naked motorcycles
Upright bars, no fairing, engines that do their best work between 50 and 150 km/h. The naked class runs from A2 singles to 190 hp hyper nakeds, and it is where most riders actually spend their money.
Fourteen naked bikes on the books, scored between 40.8 and 67.0 out of 100 within the class, with the Honda CB750 Hornet on top at 67.0. The KTM 390 Duke is the lightest at 165 kg wet; the Triumph Speed 400 is the cheapest at €5,745 and the longest between oil services at 16,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €155 per 10,000 km on the Triumph Speed 400 to €390 on the Suzuki GSX-8S, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the KTM 1390 Super Duke R with 190 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the ranking below is arithmetic rather than opinion. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole class in one place.
