2007 Kawasaki Z1000 - First Ride
The standard, or naked-bike, class poses somewhat of a conundrum for manufacturers. On one side of the coin is performance, expected in many categories to be close to that of the companies’ full-on sportbikes-especially when practically identical engines are used. On the other side is price, which should be significantly less than an equivalent sportbike’s-after all, the naked bike doesn’t have that expensive bodywork, right? Cost-cutting goes hand in hand with sacrifices in performance, and it is that trade-off that manufacturers constantly grapple with.
