Personally I love naked bikes, as the last 20 years of my riding will attest (tuono 1000r for 16 years, now 3 with my Super Duke).
But, FFS people, we need naked bikes with a similar engine package that comfortably ride two-up. There's plenty of highly-sporty naked bikes now but ones with truly usable passenger accommodations seem to be rare outside cruisers.

A bit of overlap between the street triple and trident but, more choice is better. I prefer the traditional round headlamp over the bug eyes and I know they are much different in ride experience.
The colours and profile looks great. And if you want something more practical, there is always the tiger. I just haven’t converted to the street version of ADV style machines yet. Maybe in another 10 years, I’ll jump on the band wagon when it’s out of fashion like everything else I do.

The front half looks nice.
I don't care for the jacked-up, spartan arse end. You couldn't even strap down a sandwich on that "passenger" seat, let alone seat an adult human behind.
