RE: Should Honda make a new naked bike?
Yea, Honda needs to step up. With the B-king coming out, I think you'll start seeing alot more naked bikes. For people who like the acceleration of the plastic fantastics, but not the looks.
Personally, I think Honda needs to bring the CB1300 to the US, with a more powerful plant. I'm not for sure about the engine design, but you'd think they could ALOT more than the approx. 115 that it's getting. True, it won't have the sportbike power band, but w/ that discplacement, your bound to get a ton of torque.

RE: Should Honda make a new naked bike?
I actually like the look of "Naked" bikes, maybe because when I got my 1st they all where.
My mates Suzuki is not a bad looking bike (to me anyway), its just that your a wind sock when you up the speed. I think that some of the new japanese ones look cool & yes the Brutale is just, well, beautifull. The new Moto Morini's look great also. But hey, go Honda, more choices the better

Honda needs a few nekkid bikesin their lineup and that's a fact.
They may have even missed the train, what, with all the other nekkids running around. Honda very well may have dropped the ball on this.
I have a picture on my fridge of a "prototype" CB1000 from around 2005-ish. I cut it out of some 'cycle rag and hung it....thing looks sick!
The only reason I didn't buythe bikeis because Honda never made it.

I voted yes, This is a big market in the motorcycle industry and Honda needs to take advantage of it. They also need a new V-Twin sportbike,I miss the RC51 so much. In the February issue of Cycle World they have a feature on page 23 about the CB1000R "Naked Desire" that won't come to the U.S. this bike is HOT!!!!!! It was previewed a the Milan show w/ singsided swingarm, radial mounted brakes, and digital dash.
Look it up and tell someone
