What's your favorite? Any of
these five bikes would make a
great road weapon, but there
can only be one winner!

EXPEDITION TO FIND WHO IS
CLOTHES COME OFF.
For my money, a big-bore naked bike is the best
bike on the road. Comfort, speed, power, style and
street stature to rival Dwayne Johnson; they're the
perfect packages for a rider who wants a bit of ev-
erything. Can't have your cake and eat it too? Who-
ever said that hasn't ridden one of these puppies.
Welcome to the Cycle News 2015 Big-Bore Na-
ked Bike Comparison test. We've huddled together
five of our favorite bikes from Italy, Austria, Germany
and Japan that we've thrashed, dyno'd, weighed,
measured, poured over, nit-picked and chastised, so
you've got the goods for your next naked bike buy.
STRIP IT
RIP IT
