As their name implies, all naked bikes lack fairings (Triumph's Speed Triple) or have small, half-fairings (Ducati's Monster S4R).

The top of the line, 1000cc naked bikes usually have performance comparable to the fastest of the middleweight supersport class (such as Kawasaki's ZX-6R). However, the bikes are less focused for the track, and thus have more liveable ergonomics and riding positions as compared to superbikes like Suzuki's GSX-R series. Naked bikes are geared, in the most part, towards higher acceleration at the sacrifice of overall top speed (through transmission gearing and spocket size). | ||

Muscle bikes originated in Japan as an outgrowth of the naked bike phenomenon that was taking place in Europe. Their main characteristics are vast amounts of [[torque]] and a broad power spectrum, plus lower gearing compared to a sportbike and an upright seating position. Most "muscle" bikes also forego modern fuel injection, computer management and monoshock suspension seen on the latest sports models, settling for more traditional carburettors and twin rear shocks. Styling is typically reminiscent of Japanese standards from the 1970s and 1980s. These motorcycles are also referred to as "hooligan bikes"; what they may lack in state-of-the-art components, these bikes are considered very fun to ride due to the large, powerful engines allowing them to [[wheelie]] easily. Models such as the Kawasaki ZRX1200, Yamaha XJ1300 and Suzuki GSX1400 fit this category. | ||
