    I rode the 2021 890 Duke R and the 2021 MT09 SP back to back. MT 09 feels like a performance minivan and the Duke feels like a proper sports car. MT is big, fat and heavy, stable on the highway and is a straight line bike. Duke is comfy enough to daily but is a waaaaay more fun bike to rip on. Pretty different bikes. MT sound is superior but not really comparable performance wise.

      I’m not sure if “way more reliable” is accurate. KTM’s of today do not have the reliability issues of the past and are approaching Japanese levels.
      When comparing the Mt09 sp there is an assumption that the owner would be concerned about performance. And in performance the MT is not comparable. It’s like putting fancy suspension on a Toyota Camry, at the end of the day a Camry is not a performance car. Wrong dimensions, geometry and is too heavy just like the MT. Still fun but not when compared to something designed to perform. Comfort was never the design intention, Duke is out of the box performer. Just ride the two back to back, it’s obvious.

The Street Triple is like the common ground where it’s close enough to aggressive, but spaced out enough for me to be comfortable pushing it to it’s limits. The fueling, brakes, suspension, and power band is why I’d choose it over my MT-09 for the track if I didn’t already own my bike. Also it’s really popular for the track so there’s a lot of kits to put aero on it. Basically it’s cheaper to turn into a track bike because it’s closer to a sport bike.

    Honestly my Ninja 650 was perfect. (ER-6F). It was comfortable had that sporty look and since it’s practically the same as the ER-6N i’d argue it’s a naked bike that just got the fairing treatment. It’s sporty and confortable for a daily commute. And it’s incredibly great for touring as well wich is in my experience rare. There’s not just many bikes that let you tour that comfortably of that class. There just isn’t. But since the ER-6F has fairings i’ll give it to the ER-6N cause that is the true naked variant of it despite being literally the same exact bike with less fairings. It’s a highly underrated beast of a motorcycle that just works. I have never experienced a better all around type of bike wich simply makes it a brilliant choice no matter what category you’re looking at.
    As for the Yamaha MT series, that is easily amongst the worst bike i’ve ever ridden. I mean yes it performs better than the Honda CB series, but the quality and comfort is just non-existent. If you can’t ride confortably then enjoying the ride easily becomes a lot more difficult. It sucks, but it is the truth and it needed to be said.
    Either way i have now taken a step in a different direction and i’m now a happy owner of a GL 1800 GoldWing.

    I know it's more of the upper weight class (being a 1000cc boi), but the old yamaha FZ1 is an awesome bike as a naked bike. I know the terminology on what defines an FZ1 goes everywhere (especially in North America lacking the N variant), but I live in Canada and I have an FZ1 converted into the euro style naked bike, and I love it. I don't have alot of expierence on other bikes (it's my second bike), but my father does and he's ridden MT09s, Mt07s, Z900s and much more, and he thoroughly enjoys the bike too.
    Awesome inline 4 sound, 998ccs with 150hp stock, and can make significantly more simply by tuning and ditching that factory exhaust (saves like 20 pounds aswell lol). The seating position is slightly more aggressive, but very comfortable and easy to ride on. The seat definitely needs to be changed from factory for long distance riding, and you can't keep the stock generator because they yknow blow up.
    Other than that, really reliable genesis 5 valve (gen 2 bikes, 06-14) and really fun bike and I've loved every minute riding it. I love my gen 2 and I doubt I'll ever sell the bike

Easy to live with down in the rev range for a more relaxed commute, but rev it up high and its a whole different animal for when its time to have some fun. Still can’t get over those 4 sweeping headers 😍

    What happened to the MV Agusta 800 dragster. I was that guy and bought a liter bike right off and managed to total it. I purchased a MV Agusta dragster 800 after that and I have fallen in love with it. Yes, some aftermarket parts and work are done, but this is the most incredible bike I have ever been on. 148 hp 75 lbs of torque at right around 400lbs. This is a true middleweight naked and it is incredible, I can't believe it didn't even make your list. This is a way better bike than most of the ones you named in this video.
    Give MV some props, yes they are expensive, but they are fantastic bikes.

    I've heard so much goodness about the Tuna 660 but I'm still hesitant to convert since all my biker friends who one owned or still own an Aprilia were spending more time in the shop and garage than on the street. They've had bad luck with costumer service and the whole package. So I'm very hesitant. Otherwise a great list.

    Aches to see my Street Triple - that I love to bits - at #10, but I get the logic. For the sake of completeness, the list misses BMW F900R (IMO ranks between Suzuki GSXS 750 and Triumph Trident), Duke 790 (Somewhere between Street Triple and Streetfighter), MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR, MV Agusta Brutale. Guess 2023 will add GSX-8S and Honda Hornet 750. And you realize what a competitive field this is.

    The problem with including the Ducatis and Triumph Speed Triples in the mix is that you are entering a completely different price bracket from the Japanese entrants....they had better be the best given the significant premium paid for them....of course this speaks well for the MT-09....I find that old guys like me value the linear aspects of bikes like the Z900 and F900R over the quirky hooligan aspects of the MT-09, however it is an awesome bike.
