In about a month the naked 675 will be on sale in Europe.  Don't hold your breath, we never get the bitchin' naked bikes over here.  Well...I guess we do get the 1050cc freakin' torque monster of a Speed Triple.

pretty bike.  I love the green.  reminiscent of the Uranium Green Honda 919 (which is think is awesome).

Does anyone know how well the other naked sports are selling in the US?  Kawi z1000/750?  Honda 919/599?  Based on the number that I see on the streets here in the mid-atlantic, it is no wonder the hot naked bikes seldom make it to the US.  If the ones that are already here don't sell, why would they ever bring another one over?

That said, I would definitely be taking a demo of that Street Triple on the unlikely day it arrived at the dealership.  The Daytona675 was a hoot to ride, but SS riding positions have officially gotten too forward for me.

With the success of the Daytona 675 hopefully they will try the Street Triple here
