    Triumph Street Triple 765 RS

    9.0

    Class-leading middleweight naked with a thrilling 765 triple, Brembo Stylema brakes and an Öhlins shock; track-grade focus makes it sharp rather than soft.

    Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100

    9.0

    The 2025 capacity bump to 1099cc and semi-active Öhlins make this V4 super-naked sharper and more urgent without losing its raw, MotoGP-derived character.

    KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO

    9.0

    The bored-out 1350cc LC8 V-twin delivers 190 hp with brutal midrange, while semi-active WP suspension and full electronics keep the unhinged Super Duke usable.

    Yamaha MT-09

    8.6

    The 2024 overhaul turns the charismatic hooligan into a genuinely complete sub-litre naked: punchy CP3 triple, sharper chassis, full electronics.

    Aprilia Tuono 660

    8.5

    The naked sibling to the class-defining RS 660: a punchy 105 hp parallel twin, a sublime chassis and a deep electronics suite make it one of the most complete middleweight nakeds on sale, if you can accept the premium price over Japanese rivals.

    Yamaha MT-07

    8.4

    A torquey CP2 twin in a light, friendly chassis whose 2024 fork and brake upgrades sharpen one of the most rewarding middleweight nakeds, though rivals now make more power.

    Triumph Trident 800

    8.4

    The middleweight naked Triumph should have built years ago: a charismatic 113 hp 798cc triple slotted between Trident 660 and Street Triple, squaring up to the MT-09 on power and undercutting it on price.

    Ducati Hypermotard V2

    8.4

    The all-new 890cc V2 makes the fourth-generation Hypermotard the lightest, most powerful supermoto Ducati has built, and a genuine 35 kW A2 option finally turns the wheelie machine into a bike newcomers can grow into, if you can live with the tall seat and premium price.
