Suzuki Bandit 600 or the last version the Bandit 650. Naked, unfaired and reliable. Oh and you can find them cheap used (the 650 is a bit more money).Ronnny wrote:I don't guess there is anything wrong with any of these but like some said a riding postion that does not work for some. I was looking at used bikes. And was really more interested in unfaired. I live in Georgia so a lot of nice weather most of the year and not much need for a fairing. Mostly just to and from work. This year has been bad with a lot of either cold or wet days though. Guess it might just be more about what you find for the right price.
The Honda 599 is a great bike, expensive when launched but really realiable and nicely finished. Totally Naked. The SV650 naked has a great engine and chassis, The ZR7F is hard to find but a nice all rounder, I ride the 2001 ZR7F myself right now.

There are older bikes out there and the older you go the more "naked and standard" they get (and cheaper too). They won't handle like the above ones but they are classic.
