Default Should Honda make a new naked bike?

With so many new, powerful naked bikes out there should Honda redo the 919 and 600 to compete. Bikes like the Suzuki B-King, Aprilia Tuono-R, Triumph Street Triple and Speed Triple, etc have been made with engines from their sportbike cousins. I know Honda's got a prototype of a naked bike with the Goldwing powerplant in it, but would you like to see Honda produce a naked bike with a 1000rr or 600rr motor in it?

I don't really care for them, but it would be good for the street fighter crowd to have something else to work with, from honda.

I said yes so Honda has a variety for eveyone, but I'm not too big of a fan either. I like em, not sure I'd ever buy one. Most naked bike just look unfinished to me.

I'd like to have one IN ADDITION to my CBR. I don't think I'd want to have one INSTEAD of her...

there's no point... since MV made the brutale 910 no naked bike will ever be as cool

but I voted yes because i loves me some honda and if anyone could do it, honda could do it.

I just dont care for naked bikes. However a friend of mine's dad rides an SV1000 that he had custome plastics put on and it looks sweet. Of course its not naked anymore but maybe if they gave you options it would be cool.

Like Doncollins said, They seem UNFINISHED.

Haha, maybe in America, but not in Europe where they originated. Those guys buy brand new bikes to rip apart.

theydo make theHornet with the 07 RR motor and all the goodies, its just not sold in the US (sales sucked for the F3 engined 599 and 919 didn't do much better)

I wish they would bring the new Hornet over here but they have good reason not to bother
