Or the naked Yamaha FZ6 and FZ1. Or the BT1100 Bulldog. Or the XJR1300. Or the MT-01

Or how about the Kawasaki line up? They've got the Z750 (naked, not the S version), as well as the ER-5. The ER-5 is a really good looking 500, way better than the Ninja 500R.

Suzuki doesn't give us the naked GS anymore, nor the naked Bandit 600/1200, nor the GSX1400 (an awesome lookin' muscle bike).

I'm jealous of you 'cross-the-ponders sometimes.

Looks good, but I wish they wouldn't have put a banana seat on it. And the exhaust shield looks funny poking out from the bottom back of the bike. Other than that it looks good.

OK, so WTF is that thing? Is that the GSX1400? Too weird for me regardless... Suzuki can park that thing elsewhere... NIMBY... or my garage, for that matter...

GSR600. It uses a derivative of the GSX-R engine and stickis it in a naked package. It's Suzuki's answer the the FZ6 and Honda's 599.

I wasn't really a huge fan of the naked bike but that is one sweet looking bike...if it ever comes to the states I think I might have to sell the F.

One of my new favorites is the '06 Euro-Spec FZ1:

Look at the size of that exhaust. You expect flames to come out of it. :laugh:

Seems like all of these bikes have banana seats.  What else is there?  Maybe get a Triumph Thruxton?

To me that GSR is a badass bike.  It's now my desktop picture.   8)

**BOING**  I don't like the can though...

I really like the bob-tail bikes like that one and the Triple.   O0  The first thing to go on the Triple would be the rear fender.
