A few short years ago, the naked dress trend essentially ruled the red carpet. Showing up to an event wearing a sheer, high-slit gown that showed just enough — or even extreme amounts of — skin was a great way for celebrities to 'break the Internet.'


Until, of course, the look began to lose its wow factor.


We eventually began to expect all those crazy cutouts , and now we barely blink when we spot see-through clothing. But, Spring 2022's take on the naked dress trend is actually something special. Strappy details have been replaced by ruffles, and billowing, floor-grazing gowns were preferred over body-hugging minis. The nakedness, then, comes through in more unexpected ways.


The new naked dress is more subtle and romantic than its extreme, overtly sexy predecessor, and it's only a matter of time before this version becomes a red carpet mainstay.


A modest form, with a swooshy skirt and ruffled sleeves, becomes risqué when made in lace.


Complete with caped sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline, this twist on the naked dress feels almost bridal.


We don't typically picture quirky prints when hearing the term 'naked dress,' but perhaps we should start.


Even with Y2K elements, such as a plunging neckline, highlighter color, and a butterfly embellishment, this sheer-bottomed gown is so glam we're willing to bet money we see it at the next awards season.


It's not just naked gowns that popped up for spring '22, either — David Koma managed to make a few of our favorite bold trends feel somewhat casual with a sheer, sequined, neon shirtdress.


Colorblocking is another trend that's seemingly taking over next season, and with Christian Cowan's sheer pink and orange take, there's now a way to pull double duty.


Plenty of one-shouldered designs were also in the naked mix, adding an extra element of fun.


This one-shoulder look proves you can do the naked look without actually going bare. A neutral layer underneath creates the illusion without the commitment.


After seeing so many see-through gowns on the runway, it's safe to assume we'll be seeing plenty of naked looks on the red carpet in the near future, and this ball gown shaped one is a shoo-in.


It's the roaring '20s, but sexy. Elaborate beading, ruffles, and even coordinating undergarments made this new generation of naked dresses feel fresh and romantic.

Modern sportbikes offer ultra-competent performance capabilities, rivaling that of six and seven-figure supercars in terms of acceleration, top-speeds, and cornering, while literally costing a small fraction of the price. These are unmistakably race-derived machines that have been engineered for the track, with full suites of aerodynamic bodywork, low-mounted clip-on handlebars, high-gearing, and powerbands that offer the majority of their oomph near redline. And while these elements make for a ridiculously fun motorcycle on the track, they’re far from conducive to street riding.
Often stripped down and modified versions of existing fully-faired sports models, naked motorcycles retain the high-performance nature of sport and superbikes , while being more practical for the road. Their clip-ons are replaced by single-piece handlebars that result in a more comfortable upright riding position, easily-damaged full fairings are shed and replaced with street-fighter-style items, and engines are retuned and gearing is lowered for better torque and acceleration at the cost of lower top speeds, which you’ll seldom if ever use on the street. Offering the perfect blend of performance and utility, naked bikes are produced by practically every manufacture, so we’ve taken the time to pare down the abundance of available models within the segment to bring you this guide to the best naked motorcycles.
How Crashed Sport Bikes Birthed The Most Popular Moto Segment

Just like with scramblers , cafe racers, and a host of other moto genres that have come before it, the naked bike class was essentially the result of manufacturers mimicking a popular customization trend. In the years following the release of the first modern sportbike in the mid-1980s (with Suzuki’s original GSX-R750), fully-faired, road-legal race replicas experienced a tremendous influx in popularity, especially with young, thrill-seeking riders.
Unsurprisingly, motorcycles capable of supercar performance metrics being piloted by teenagers resulted in a fair amount of wrecks. With thrashed bodywork, bent clip-ons, limited financial resources, and a continued desire to ride, a lot of the young owners of these bikes simply removed the damaged fairings entirely, mounted on a set of wide, MX-style bars, tacked on the cheapest available road-legal headlight, and got back on the road. This type of bike became known as a “Street Fighter” (an example of which can be seen in the photo directly below, in which a Honda CBR1000RR has been transformed into a streetfighter).
As Street Fighters became more and more prevalent in the motorcycle world, aftermarket companies began offering headlights, waspish, suspended tail sections, and other parts made specifically to serve the naked sportbike market. The naked class was also spurred on by models like the Ducati Monster, which took an existing sportbike frame (888) and engine (900SS) and built a markedly more “streetable” motorcycle around them. Shortly after its launch, the Monster became one of the Italian firm’s all-time best-selling models, prompting other manufacturers to follow suit. Today, naked motorcycles constitute one of the most popular segments in existence, as well as a good chunk of the new bikes you’ll see out on the road .
What Exactly Is A “Naked” Motorcycle?

Technically speaking, any motorcycle that doesn’t have a full fairing is considered a “naked,” as the term’s in reference to a motorcycle’s lack of bodywork. Having said that, the naked monicker is more in reference to superbike or sportbike models that have been rid of the majority of their bodywork, retuned and regeared, and outfitted with handlebars and foot controls that allow for an upright riding position. In the photo directly above, we can see a fully-faired superbike model (in this case Aprilia’s RSV4 1100 Factory) alongside its naked counterpart (the Tuono 1100 Factory).
Largely inspired by turn-of-the-millennium era, garage-built street fighters, many modern nakeds employ aesthetic designs that are essentially “nakedized” versions of existing superbikes. A more accurate term would probably be “naked sportbike.” It’s also worth mentioning that “naked” doesn’t necessarily mean entirely devoid of bodywork, and rather denotes the distinct lack of a front fairing or panels that cover the engine. Nakeds also typically lack the tall windscreen that superbike riders hide behind on the straights. So, now that you’ve got a solid understanding of this two-wheeled genre, let’s dive into our picks for the best naked motorcycles that you can buy.
A naked version of Team Green’s Ninja 400, the Z 400 is a more powerful alternative to the majority of entry-level segment options, offering a bit more get-up-and-go that ensures new riders won’t quickly outgrow the thing. On top of gaining some added displacement over the normally 250-300cc-sized single-cylinder mills found on most beginner motorcycle models , the little Z is kicked along by a parallel twin that allows for a top speed of nearly 120mph. A 30.9” seat height makes it easy to get a foot down, too. Equipped with a slipper clutch, the Z400 is good for more than 50mpg — even with the most spirited of riding — and a range of over 180-miles on a single tank. The Z400’s aesthetics are also largely based on that of the larger displacement members of Kawasaki’s Z range, giving the entry-level model the appearance of a bigger machine.

KTM’s 390 Duke is almost certainly the industry’s most refined take on a small-displacement, entry-level model, with the Austrian single packing a host of features that are typically reserved for full-sized, top-shelf mounts. Riding on a set of forged wheels, the “Baby Duke” comes with adjustable WP suspension front and back (including an inverted fork), a slipper clutch, adjustable levers as standard, LED lighting throughout, ride-by-wire-throttle, dual circuit BOSCH ABS — including a Supermoto mode that disengages the rear ABS so the Duke can be properly backed into corners — a full-color TFT display, handlebar-mounted illuminated menu switches, and connectivity to the KTM My Ride smartphone app. The 390 Duke also takes ample inspiration from KTM’s flagship 1290 Duke, with an exposed trellis frame, suspended tail section, angular bodywork, and sharp-looking six LED headlight arrangement. Now also available in a smaller 200cc version, the Duke 390 boasts an upright yet still thoroughly aggressive riding position that makes for a competent commuter, that’s still more than capable of having some fun in the twisties.

First introduced in 1999, Suzuki’s SV650 is a bonafide cult classic, with the famously-reliable mid-sized V-Twin offering tremendous performance and utility relative to its ultra-accessible price point. The SV packs a 645cc liquid-cooled V-Twin wrapped in a trellis frame that, together, makes for one of the most versatile platforms on the market. Riders use the SV to commute, canyon carve, club race, tour, and — with the appropriate upgrades and modifications — even handle some light off-road duties. Alongside the regular base model, the ‘Zook also sells the more stylish SV650X, that gains a few blacked-out bits, a brown leather tuck and roll saddle, a small flyscreen, and a few other odds and ends (that come at a $900 premium over the base model). Suzuki also offers an array of genuinely attractive bolt-on accessories to further personalize the bike.

The Z900 wonderfully epitomizes the naked segment. It’s aggressive-looking with a clear streetfighter influence in the insect-like headlight arrangement and waspish tail section, has an upright yet attack-ready rider’s triangle, and offers a front-wheel-lofting amount of power, all at an MSRP that can be had for under $10,000 out-the-door. Its performance and appearance have made it a popular choice amongst thrill-seeking riders that still want something practical, however, it should be noted that the Z900 is very much not a beginner-friendly model (as is any roughly-liter-sized multi-cylinder motorcycle). There are also a few unexpected features for a sub-$10K non-Euro model like smartphone connectivity, multiple power modes, and traction control, which make it a more enticing offering. And, though it’s admittedly a little decisive, the taillight on the Z900 boasts an idiosyncratic Z-shaped design that we think is brilliant. This is also the model that the Japanese brand’s retro-styled Z900RS and RS Cafe Racer are constructed around.

While Husqvarna’s Svartpilen 701 isn’t normally what comes to mind when we think of naked bikes, the fact that it’s basically just a restyled and rebadged version of KTM’s 690 Duke makes it difficult to classify as anything else. The Swedish single sports a sleek take on the traditional flat tracker aesthetic, putting an almost futuristic spin on the genre. And as much of a pleasure as the Svartpilen is to gaze upon, it’s even more enjoyable to ride upon, with a solid power-to-weight ratio, punchy engine, and wide bars making for a truly exhilarating ride, especially in the canyons. Also, while normally a single-cylinder engine of this displacement would produce a seriously-annoying amount of vibration — especially at freeway speeds and higher-revs — Husky’s 701 range is fitted with a counterbalancer shaft that does a tremendous job of mitigating the engine’s rumbling , making it a delight to pilot.

Penned by renowned Austrian design firm, KISKA, the 890 Duke is a high-performance hooligan bike with a sharp and aggressive appearance and more than enough power and agility to back up its menacing persona. From the tail section to the tank to the radiator shrouds to the headlight, practically every element of the 890’s design is wholly unique. Smaller and more nimble than KTM’s flagship 1290 Super Duke R, but still sufficiently powerful enough for just about any kind of trouble you might want to get up to, the 890cc parallel-twin makes for a solid Goldilocks model. And, aside from lacking the single-sided swing-arm, we’d actually argue the 890 is a better-looking machine than its 1,301cc sibling. Lastly, while it isn’t a sub-$10,000 motorcycle , the 890’s price is still something of a bargain when you consider you’re getting a full-size, Austrian-made, top-of-the-line high-performance two-wheeler for under $12K.

While it’s a notoriously fun motorcycle, the Street Triple’s bug-eyed appearance has traditionally rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, though the latest iteration of the “Striple” has made tremendous strides in the aesthetic design department, with a now sleeker, more cohesive and complete-looking model — including a legitimately attractive LED headlight configuration with daytime running lights. The potent 765cc inline-three inside the Street Triple is the same engine that’s currently used across the entire Moto2 class and makes for license-jeopardizing amounts of fun in the saddle. Of the existing Street Triple models, the track-focused, top-of-the-line variant is the RS-spec, which gets numerous upgrades including a quick-shifter as standard, 41 mm Showa Big Piston fork, Öhlins STX40 mono-shock, Brembo M50 monoblocks, belly pan, rear tail cowl with competition-style “bum-stop,” and numerous carbon fiber bits. Equipped with a top-shelf TFT display, this model has an optional accessory that allows for connectivity to the Triumph app and lets the handlebar-mounted buttons control a GoPro or a smartphone’s music playback.

The flagship member of Yamaha’s so-called “Hyper Naked” lineup, the MT-10 is a liter-sized street-fighter loosely based around the Tuning Fork Company’s cutting-edge R1, sharing the superbike’s aluminum Deltabox frame and the Crossplane crank-equipped 16-valve inline-four. Previously known as the FZ-10 (in some markets), the big MT — which is short for “Masters of Torque” — is outfitted with a host of modern electronics that all come standard such as Yamaha chip-controlled wide-by-wire throttle, multiple fuel maps, adjustable traction control, a quick shifter (up only), and a cruise control system intended to enhance touring duties . The insect-meets-Transformers aesthetic definitely isn’t for everyone, and we do have a beef with the MT-10’s extremely pronounced non -functional intake scoops, as they seem a peculiar addition to what’s supposed to be a stripped-down genre rid of all superfluous parts, albeit the MT-10 is still a seriously fantastic motorcycle.

Designed by Pierre Terblanche, the Hypermotard is a supermoto-inspired street bike that’s unequivocally one of the most fun motorcycles that money can buy. Taking half of its DNA from the dirt bike world and the other from the sportbike realm, the Hypermotard offers track-ready performance while remaining incredibly conducive to urban riding applications. Short of long-range touring, the Hypermotard can do just about anything. Underneath its Motard-themed bodywork are all the modern electronic bells and whistles that one would expect from the Borgo Panigale brand, with multiple ride modes, BOSCHE cornering ABS, and Ducati traction and wheelie control. Ducati does sell a higher-specced SP version with Ohlins suspension and a few carbon bits, (for a $3,600 premium), though the 45mm aluminum inverted Marzocchi fork and Sachs mono-shock that come on the base model are more than competent enough for 95% of two-wheeled hooliganism.

Originally unveiled in 1981, the Suzuki Katana was an icon of its era, with a distinctive wedge half-fairing that left little doubt as to the time this model was born out of. The Katana remained in production through the mid-aughts, though by the time the Hamamatsu firm pulled the plug on the bike, it’d become a far cry from the highly-recognizable first generation. So, when Suzuki released an updated version of the iconic Japanese motorcycle in 2019, riders were excited to see the manufacturer opted to stay true to the Katana’s original design while bestowing it with a few modern aesthetic tweaks with sharper lines all around and a belly pan to round out the bottom of its silhouette. At the heart of the new Katana is a modified version of the engine from the 2005-2008 model year Gixxer 1000, which, despite being a decade and a half old
