no, they make power/torque lower in the rev range because they have no requirement to go 200km/hr on tracks.Likely thought they were buying a BMW and it turned out to be a Rotax.
More low down gruntso if I pull the fairings off my bikes?

@Clutt-225 I’m not truly awesome at anything lol. Generally I do ride mx or trails a couple times a week, do about 8 mx races a year and a couple hare scrambles. So although I would consider myself an average rider I am very comfortable playing in the dirt but I do recognize the limitations of the big bikes.
@ruffriders Beautiful bike! Haven’t ridden one but love the idea of the Multistrada’s. I think that and the S1000XR might be the two best bikes on the market. But I wouldn’t want to bounce either off a tree so I like the idea of the 3 I listed for my intended uses. Again that’s probably a couple years out.

It was videos like this one that sent me searching for that little bit more that I could get out of an adventure bike over the Super Naked.
And still be as capable as I required on the street.
Like I said earlier I have not even come close to the limits off or on road. Yet.

This is exactly what I was just thinking, as the more riders switch to nakeds, more insurance payouts will happen and eventually the premiums will riseI wonder how long until insurance premiums catch up with nakeds?
some of the manus are really pushing it to the limit
how this bike remains affordable to insure baffles me
@Clutt-225 just a cbx500. I'm 6'2 32" inseam. Looks wise, I kinda prefer versys but the underbody exhaust means I can't do slip on ? wife says this is long term bike so no changes for the next... Forever. ?

I thought that was only on Honda Civic’s?
decal are the new sticker? +5hp/per?
Generally yes, but the rarer the decal, then a pro-ration table that comes into play based on:
Rarity
Manufacturer
Size of decal
Placement of decal.
Some decals from the late 50's and early 60's have been known to add upwards of 12hp at the rear wheel!

@miggs so how much more hp and torque do butterflies on my windscreen give me...I have an FZ07
Color and size of said stickers?
You have much to learn! ?
Geez,the beerfridge that Speedway gave me years ago should be good for the ton then.

Depends on the company you're with...
AllState has just gone and reclassified a whack of bikes -- KTM Superduke, Tuono, Diavel, MT10 etc - now "Naked Sportbike". And charge just shy of full on sport bike rates.
