Naked bike

Electric motorcycles have democratized the industry in a way ICE bikes never could. So much so that a startup from Indonesia can grab as much attention as an established European marque, and Charged certainly looks like it's trying.

The 2027 790 Duke features some of the most influential upgrades KTM's middleweight naked has seen. That includes a new subframe, updated suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as well as new styling cues from the 990 Duke and 1390 Super Duke R Evo.

There's nothing wrong with BMW's excellent high-performance automatic transmission... Unless you're a couple million miles deep into your motorcycling journey and hard-wired to panic if you start grabbing thin air with your clutch hand.

Barely a couple of years after the Guerrilla was introduced, Enfield has quickly launched a souped-up spinoff, called the Guerrilla 450 Apex, which boasts more than just visual changes for the sake of it.

As if its flagship naked motorcycle didn't already pose enough risk to life and limb, KTM's gone and upped the ante with a limited edition variant. Only 350 of these will be made for over $40,000 a pop.

Hint: It's not Royal Enfield. A company that produces more than 4 million motorcycles every year and has a presence in more than 90 countries across the globe, TVS is eyeing the mainstream electric motorcycle segment with the eFX 30.

Through most of my motorcycling experience, I’ve stood by one notion: nobody does hypernakeds quite like MV Agusta. The new limited-edition Rush Titanio only reinforces that belief.

The limited edition MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro debuted at this year’s EICMA as MV Agusta’s new middleweight naked sportbike. It’s based on the updated inline-three 950 EVO engine – a platform we’ll be seeing much more of in the time to come.

You can now get astride an MV Agusta without totally breaking the bank – well, at least not by a whole lot more than you'd spend for other middleweight naked motorcycles, anyway. That's the promise with the updated Brutale 800.

Triumph's Trident 800 is the capable Trident 660's bolder sibling with more power and better components, and with more muscular and throwback-y roadster styling than its bug-eyed cousin, the Street Triple R. Here's everything to look forward to.

You don’t deliver seven decades of motorcycle engineering without being a fan favorite, and I can see the trend continuing for Honda's CB1000F. It’s essentially a CB1000 Hornet dressed in a sportier avatar with competent underpinnings to do it justice.

When the Kawasaki ‘Big Zed’ naked was discontinued a few years back, it broke the hearts of many a folk. Some moved on, while others simply chose to live in the ghost of days gone by. Now, after a decade, the liter-class motorcycle makes a comeback!
