[Skadi]

[DevilsTonic]

Good point. :up:

==================================
I'd like to reduce her weight.
She's a fairly heavy girl by todays standards.
(Not that big girls don't deserve lovin too.)

I don't really care to go 180mph as much as I want her quick in the twisties.

BTW.
Vance, Pinktaco, and JOE!!,
I named her Prudence (like the Beatles song) in hopes her name will rub off on my riding style and keep the tickets and roadrash to a minimum.

people who don't like nekkid bikes are bunch of closed-minded, kunckle-dragging, mount-breathing morons. Typical American reaction to naked bikes. :roll:

:lol: nice.....Nekkid bikes in general there is nothing wrong with (I think monster s2R's are way sexy) However, a bike that was designed as a nekkid bike looks a lil differnt than a bike which was designed with fairings to direct air and cover ugly stuff.

[mtnairlover]

hmmm...I think you know my preference...

But, Mel does make a point. Mine was designed this way. And, oh what a design!!! You do make a point, as well, Jeff. So, I say go with your gut.

Note how I have no argument one way or the other...I just love my baby.:)

[DevilsTonic]

My whole point was that the nekkid front with a contoured rear the way it is, just doesn't look quite right to me. I think SV's look nice, they were born nekkid!

Like Mel said, I got nuffin again nekkids if they're designed that way.

But nekkid DOES look better on women! :hump: ;)

[Badhabit]

Leave them on. If you want naked, then go trade for a Speed Triple! :drool:

[Mother Goose]

EDIT:


But nekkid DOES look better on SOME women! :hump: ;)

:lol:

[Devaclis]

Nekkid is pretty sweet. The Hawk would look like crap with plastics IMO. Personal choice I guess. My choice is nekkid

[DevilsTonic]

:lol::oops: Good point! :lol:

naked can be cool on alot of bikes that were not meant to be nekkid.

Very true...

I was rolliing the Sprint w/o lower fairings while they were being repainted and it was FUGLY! Some bike are designed to go both ways, mine likes to be clothed.

[daemon]

mine was born nekkid and i love it.
except when it is freezing cold out.
no wind break at all.

I dig the way it looks in the nude!

[devon]

Naked bikes are tons of fun, and it all comes down to what look you like more. Getting the wind off your face can be nice, if you do a lot of highway riding. If it's just a little bit of regular highway riding, you will eventually get used to it and be able to deal/tuck more.

Personally though, I like the look of that Triumph naked... it has so much more personality and uniqueness than it does with the full fairings.

[swademaster]

This one started off half naked(TL1000S). Now it is fully naked.

Im not a fan of the naked bikes myself but i think it may not look too bad..Kinda like a monster....

[leviathin]

i like my bikes like my women, black and with the fairings attached, hmmm thats doesnt make much sense, lets change that up a bit how about - i like my bikes like my women, clothed on the street and anything goes once the garage door shuts. yeah that works better

[Feathered upstart!]

i hate naked bikes.

[BigE]

I like the homemade "Speed Triple" :up:

Basically, a 'Tona without the fairings is a S3, Triumph didn't do alot of beautification with the change because they didn't need to. :p


That TL is sweet too!
