And here we have the annual display of ‘look at my toys’ among the motorcycle elite. Fully-faired bikes might be the norm, but why not just go for the naked truth? It’s not like they’re trying to hide the engine under a skirt or something. Speaking of ‘beasts,’ have Triumph, Ducati, and BMW got anything better to eat than their own exhaust fumes? And that Aprilia, what a shocker! They’ve managed to squeeze more power into a bike than they’ve ever managed to into a marketing campaign. As for KTM, if their bikes were a family, I’d worry they’d end up being that one kid who’s always trying to show off with the latest tech gadgets. Kawasaki, well, they’ve found a way to supercharge their bike’s performance without actually needing to charge it with anything, that’s some serious ‘magic juice’ they’ve got there. BMW’s M 1000 R, now that’s a bike that looks like it’s been dipped in the finest of gold and set to take over the world. Ducati’s Streetfighter V4, on the other hand, is like a Panigale V4 in a desperate attempt to lose weight but can’t help but bring its own flair. And let’s not forget MV Agusta, they’ve got the fastest and most powerful naked motorcycle not just because they’re fast and powerful, but also because they’ve got more carbon fiber than a Ferrari’s body shop. This list is the equivalent of a dog show where the judges are all ‘Wow, look at that tail wag, it’s so… power-to-weight ratio!’
