I have friends that are into that look - Ducati Dave seems to like his modded Fazer and his "oddball Yamaha project bike to be named later" and my college friend Todd says his motorcycle experience reached its apex with a Speed Triple.

Me, I see that thing and wonder "wouldn't it work a lot better at speed, and look better all the time, with at least a little bit of a fairing?"

I don't like it, I think it's ugly. I'm glad I can't afford to buy one.

I agree with the B-King comment.  Looks like Yamaha's version of it.  Will hopefully suffer the same fate.

What do you really do with a totally naked bike?  Can't ride for an extended time down the highway (not that that's a desirable thing to do on any bike).  My 1st gen FZ1 is bad enough on extended rides and it has quite a bit of fairing.  The FJ is just about the perfect combination of naked and fairing with good wind protection. 

I have a friend with a Honda CB 1000R.  It has no wind screen or fairing and he loves everything about it except for the windblast.  He's currently looking for a different bike.

What would you do with this MT-10?
