Differences between Class 2 Sports & Naked Bikes

[xbai87]

Sorry but I created another thread in Chit Chat. Hope I can get a better response there!

Probably the weight...Naked bikes are supposed to be lighter...

[MrIce]

in term of power in mid and top range, sports have better top but naked will have better mid range power to use, if i am not wrong, sport bikes suppose to be lighter than naked bike because they are design to have best power to weight ratio to maximise the power output.

 

in term of handling for daily usage naked bike should be better because they can better turning radius. fuel consumption wise, naked bike should be lesser than sports.

It would depend on how many straights ...how long and which year bike....when/ if the RIDER reached his/her bottle limit

 

Corners being equal, braking equal.....the difference would be the straights ...as much as 5 seconds a lap on some tracks on the latest kit I would suggest maybe more

Aerodynamics

 

I prefer streetfighters,

 

superbikes being naked

I think the main difference is the handling and riding posture. Sport bikes come with the latest technology while street street bike using 2-3 years back tech(Jap Bike).

I have also passed S1000RR, CBR 1000 etc drivers, but that's why I'm asking the difference between same driver in same lap, only a different bike under the driver.

Naked = more low down grunt assuming similar capacity

sport= better top end

[tuAs_ridEr]

My 1cent worth

 

Naked.....

Better Low range torque

Street riding position

better fuel consumption

Turning radius

 

Sports.....

Top range peak power

Low rake for cornering

Lighter

More Even geometry over wheel

base

Top speed

Aerodynamic

usually naked/street bike inherit the engine from supersports bike, high performance and yet reliable. Like many has highlight that the bike has better low/mid range torque. Its far more comfortable ride in the country/touring mode.

[dragonforce]

there's always this talk about street bikes having better low/mid range torque and sportsbike having lousy low/mid and good high range torque. i used to say the same thing, until i tried a sportsbike.

 

generally, naked bike is heavier than sportsbike. comparing same year of the 2 models.

a sportsbike, with a twist of the throttle it can really accelerate. more torque and feel than a street bike. to me the reason to choose a street bike than a sportsbike is storage space.

Thank God....finally someone who speaks sense and has actually rode a sportsbike before! You saved the day

[thfc74]

At very low speeds, the sportsbike just feels sluggish, awkward and difficult to turn and handle. I'm talking about trying to maneuver my R1 around a crowded car park or small street filled with passers-by and other traffic.

Once I'm in the clear, the beauty is actually willing me on to let the reins go and boy, can she fly! Have handled a Super 4 before and it just feels more refined and gentle. It's more comfortable riding posture means that you will most likely adopt a 'safer' riding mentality. On a sportsbike, the aggressive position makes you feel like you want to be a speeding badass everytime you get on and you just happen to flick the throttle. Having said that, I do think that you can still be a speed demon on a naked bike, just that it's probably easier to behave like one on a R6/R1 than on a CB1000/FZ1 for example.

To each his own la imo.

 

I believe when it comes to class 2, theres more than enough power to make the difference whether got low end power or high end power seems minor. If every day usability, not much comes close to motards and 2B bikes huhuhu. Easy to handle, cheap, very slim profile. Go JB during peak timings and tell me which one you prefer lololol.

[Constructicon]

Not many of sportsbike riders actually go to track and utilise the bike to it's potential.

(Then again, not many of the adventure bike riders went off road anyway. )

 

Naked bikes with it's raised and relatively straight handlebar and better riding position is probably for everyday rides.

 

Anyway, buying a bike is all about a matching of compromises.

Want nice looking bike with practicality? There are a host of naked/ semi faired bikes to choose from.

[chowjibye]

seriously no body mentioned suspension? one is freaking hard while the other is softer and comfy. which explains why one shuold corner faster than the other, other than the difference in tuning of the similar engine

[xincentsbobby]

riding a sportsbike makes me feel very attached with the bike as one while riding.

 

somehow i feel safer myself riding a sportsbike despite its aggressive ride posture.

 

naked bike on the other hand has its pros of a much comfortable seating posture and relatively easier handling..

sluggish, i dun think so. but yeah if you talk about maneuver like U-turn, low speed turning etc, then i think a naked bike is easier.

dun think any1 would prefer their c2 bikes when its a jam at the customs. myself included.

yeah rider comfort is another reason to choose naked bikes.

dunno which is which.. but i assume freaking hard refers to sportsbikes? but sportsbikes can adjust suspension, i think you want how soft also can. some naked bikes also come with adjustable suspension, which you can also adjust.

[WanFazer]

Depends on bike model n capacity... Be it naked or fairing, both can b sportsbike depending on r rider...

[subisisniki]

naked bikes are easier on the wallet when its time to renew insurance
