BMW S 1000 R 2016

Com a BMW S 1000 R, nota-se tanto a estreita relação com a superbike S 1000 RR como o esforço para equipar a máquina com um elevado grau de conforto para estradas rurais e utilização diária. Assim, a unidade de potência de 1000cc e quatro cilindros é bruta e, no entanto, facilmente controlável, e a posição de assento é correspondentemente desportiva e confortável. O facto de a S 1000 R ser uma das motos "naked" de potência mais acessíveis é surpreendente e muito agradável, embora não se deva ter em conta a lista de extras opcionais - porque graças às muitas características irresistíveis, será certamente mais cara.
Kawasaki Z900 2023

A Kawasaki Z900 pode não estar à altura das características electrónicas modernas e dependentes do ângulo de inclinação, mas é relativamente barata e não se deve subestimar a base de fãs do bom e velho motor de quatro cilindros em linha - a Z900 é uma das formas mais baratas de ter um motor tão bom com pouco menos de um litro de cilindrada numa naked desportiva! O peso mais elevado é percetível, mas não é muito incómodo, porque o comportamento e a estabilidade são bastante bons. Em termos de eletrónica "ultrapassada", o mais irritante é a falta do assistente de mudanças, que nem sequer está disponível como opção. No entanto, no geral, a Z900 é uma excelente naked bike com uma óptima relação preço/desempenho.
