Yeah, I don't know why everyone seems to love their SS bikes so much and hate on naked and standards. The SS bikes are uncomfortable as shit for any distance riding, have more hp than you would ever need on the street, have costly plastics that have to be fixed with even the smallest tip over, and MOST lack the mid range power of bikes like the Z1k so you have to rev the shit out of them to get in the power band. They do LOOK pretty cool and generally have better suspensions from the factory, but they are impractical as hell for the majority of riders. That's just my opinion...not trying to hate on you guys and gals that ride SS bikes, I'm glad you enjoy your bikes. I just get tired of hearing people slam naked bikes and standard bikes as all being ugly, detuned, P.O.S.'s. I know it is a taste thing but I think if more people would give bikes like the Z1k, Speed Triple, Monster, Tuono, FZ8, Er6n, etc a ride they would enjoy them a lot. Now where did I put that flame suit....
