Default Naked in America

Haha, sorry... not what you guys were thinking. Get your minds out of the gutter. This is a spin off of Lee's thread

So, are naked/bikini faired bikes rising in popularity in America??? I know in Europe, naked bikes are vastly more popular than here. But in recent years, manufacturers have been coming out with more and more nakeds.

This thing interests me enough to be my next bike....

From experience, cleaning/detailing one is a bitch. Especially with hard water.

I've always liked the nekkid bikes. That's why I bought the SV. I split the difference with the half fairing for wind protection.

Yes about that last bit. The Z1000S is the tits, but would be wayyy too much bike for my next bike. Seems like there is more plastic on the sides than the normal Z1000 though...
