Top 10 Standard Motorcycle's of 2019
Standard motorcycles, which are also referred to as naked motorcycles, have increased in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. These bikes are light, agile, and responsive, so you can take on a twisty road or maneuver through heavy traffic. The details that make these motorcycles fall under the naked or standard category include the absence of a lot of extras. This helps make them a bit more affordable than motorcycles that have all the bells and whistles.
How to Recognize a Standard or Naked Motorcycle
The position of the rider's body when seated on the motorcycle is another way to know if you're looking at a standard or naked motorcycle. On a standard bike, the rider's body is in an upright position. The bike may look a lot like a sport motorcycle, but the handlebar and foot-pegs aren't positioned for the rider to lean forward over the tank, they're positioned to seat the rider in a comfortable, upright position. They also typically don't have fairings.
