Best Naked Bikes

Don't believe the knockers – The 125e without a doubt is cheap reliable and fun to ride. At age 64 and living on 20 acres I needed something other than an ag bike which are over… Read more

rated and over priced in my opinion to move sheep around from paddock to paddock.The bike is also ridden to my nearest regional town 300km round trip on a semi regular basis half of that trip is on dirt and goat tracks.The only mods I have done to the bike are change front sprocket from 15 to 16 tooth,this allows the bike to sit on 90ks with top speed 100ks and allows the engine to enjoy being revved out through the gears rather than peaking way to early with the standard front sprocket.I also put on a hybrid set of knobbie tyres as I go through a bit of sandy country at times,and also fitted a loobmans chain oiler as well as running the hotter spark plug recommended by Honda for prolonged high speed riding.Last but not least I fitted a Fumoto quick release oil valve which replaces the sump plug making oil changes a 5 minute job,money well spent,given that I change the oil every 1,000 kilometres. The bike has behaved flawlessly, runs on the smell of an oily rag,and has a good sized tank that gives up to 450ks of riding depending on conditions.Whether you want a cheap commuter or just a bike to have a bit of fun on without breaking the bank the 125e won't disappoint.At the end of the day,you get what you pay for....if your after speed and adrenalin rush...stay away from this bike. Cheers and safe riding to you all.

Akro. A lot of comments about handling on the earlier models, mine is the 2019 model and the handling is good. Good narrow bike for lane splitting, super torquey, economical with still got a lot to offer at highway speeds. Highly recommended and still puts a smile on my face. Surprises bigger bikes off the line with its power to weight and torque, you just have to lean forward.

Street Twin – There was no separate thread for the Bonneville Street Twin so I put my review in here as T 100 was the closest variant. Street Twin 2017: -the… Read more

engine is great for real world speed, excellent torque -low fuel consumption (4.1 with 2 up in and out of urban areas and I need to push it hard to get above this result) -comfort: I am 174 cm so I am very comfortable on the bike. The seat is good and its roomy enough for me. It's good with a passenger as well, but I'm looking into upgrading the shock for that. Taller riders could find this bike cramped on longer trips, but its compact character makes it an excellent city bike (and its torque, of course) -reliability: I bought it with 14000 kms and it has 20000 now there were absolutely no issues just general maintenance -on longer trips: I don't mind the wind. The comfort is adequate. The bar vibrates quite a bit at higher speeds especially with two up so I will put on some bar end weights -style: even if it is the entry level bonnie I never had to talk this much about my bike before... it's beautiful. I also have the Vince n Haines exhaust on it, which is right in the sweet spot for me: great sound, cars can hear me, but it's not to intrusive -tyres: forget the Pirelli Phantom. I run Michelin Pilot Actives and they are good. It wasn't easy to find good tyres due to the 18 inch front -services: every 16000 km. I have it serviced more often, it just makes me feel better and safer, but it's good to know that the bike could do with less. This way I don't have to do mathematics 5000 kms after an oil change if I would like to do a couple of thousand km tour, something that you have to do with a bike that needs to be serviced every 6000 kms.

In summary I am very happy with the bike. It feels like a quality bike (we'll see how it's aging). I was always a Honda guy, but I really enjoyed the character of this bike so I bought it and I did not mind it.

Addendum: At 34000 kms the bike still performs without any issues. It is serviced every 6000 kms as usual despite the claimed service interval.

At last found my perfect bike at 79 – Didn't get my licence until I was 72 and started on a Yamaha VStar 950, too big! Then sized down to a Kawasaki 650 Vulcan S. Good for touring but… Read more

wanted something a bit more flexible for tackling the twisties with my mates. From there to a Yamaha MT03. Loved it ! great little bike with plenty of get up and go with excellent handling but not so comfortable on long distance touring. At a mates suggestion test drove the Ninja 650 and traded in the MT03 the same day for the 2021 model. Just done 500 klms but already over the moon with the handling in the twisties and cruising at highway speeds. Already convinced that this is the one for me.

similar to my KTM 690. Goes and handles really well. Glad I bought this instead of more expensive options.

It does not fail in any area and delivers in all – Kawasaki delivers on it's intended purpose, a modern golden oldie. The closest comparison probably an 850 Norton. Handling is solid and good enough.… Read more

Performance is as expected but with more low rpm torque than expected. Brakes. Progressive with good feel and power. Riding position near perfect (pegs 25mm forward ) Seat comfort very good even after 5 hours riding. Vibrations, well probably best described as pulsations. No numb fingers. Headlight good in spread and range. Love the twin analogue instruments. If one wanted to be picky, the rear shocks could have more damping, compressive & rebound, but ARE not an issue. For the market/owner Kawasaki targeted, they have in my opinion "nailed" it. If your used to sports/cruiser/adventure bikes this will be different. Just a nice, nice, machine.

Needs to be reved – Small bikes are fun. But I always want a bit more power. The Duke 390 was the most powerful bike out of the two, (MT03). I sold the Duke because the… Read more

suspension was set up for the road only. Could not do dirt roads. So I got an MT 07. The suspension on the MT03 is terrible like the MT07, but they both can go on dirt roads. I have seen others take the Duke on dirt online. Perhaps I was too precious with it. I bought the Duke new. I bought the MT03 second hand. The plastics are cheap on the MT03. Thin, and screw tabs break easily.

first one few years ago. I then bought second and now I got my third one. Therefore I am quite familiar with this bike. When I got my first Sachs Madass 125, I spent a lot of money to fix the bike as the previous owner didn't keep it well. What I can share with you about this bike is in the following.

In my opinion, this bike has simple mechanism and it means that it won't get you big trouble. The point is you need to know the bike and I suggest that you need to custom a bit by yourself. This bike is operated by the air cooled system with an airbox. Many people complaint the power as the maximum speed is around 80 or 90 km/h. The normal speed is 70. To improve the performance, you can change the airbox into a carburetor with an air filter. Or even you can get the oil cooled lifan engine to upgrade the capacity. The original engine is one cylinder 4 stroke petrol engine. The original bike has small and weak indicators so I suggest you should change all of them. It is very easy to change the front indicators. Just get a new one and plug in the cable. However, for the rear one you need to do the wiring under the seat. This bike can be used as a dirt bike if you change the tyres and the carburetor intake. It is recommended that you change the lever both in the front brake lever and the clutch lever as the original steel is poor. However the body and the main frame are very strong. You may also change the switch control unit as well, but you need to get the exact same cable connected with the power source. I firmly suggest that you get mechanic to tune the carburetor and the clutch play for you if you don't know how to make it. A proper balance of airflow and oil in carburetor won't get you any trouble of starting and it contributes to running smoothly. Adjust the spring preload of the shock absorber if you find that it is too high for you. Since this bike can be used as dirt bike so the seat height is a bit higher than other small bike. Get a new fuel tap as the cap of the original one is easy to break down and causes leaking! Highly recommend to use the viscosity grade SAE 15W/40 engine oil for this bike. Change some good quality stainless bolts and nuts by yourself. You can get them from Bunnings. Only use the battery of 12v6AhMF and the spark of NGK CR7 HSA. The generator is 12v150w. Make sure you clean the oil foam air filter if you have the original airbox. Check the clutch seal and front fork seals regularly. If you make all of these, this bike is perfect and reliable. People complaint because they don't really know this bike. I found that this bike is simple and it is quite handy. The fuel consumption is very low of the original engine. Better to get 125cc or upgrade it to 140 above. 50cc is too low for this bike as it has a normal dimensions with 1840mm and 760mm together with 100kg. All in all, this Sachs Madass 125 is fun with dual-sports. There won't be any issues if you follow the above recommendations.

Great bike, but a lot of people are posting misinformation so I feel the need to clear things up – This is the 2nd cmx500 I've owned (2021) my previous one was 2017, and though there are differences I'm mostly here to highlight the misinformation… Read more

posted by others above.

But first off... this bike seems to be promoted as many things: A veteran's bike, a beginner's bike, a lady's bike, a short person's bike... but this to me is just marketing, other than for experienced/ veteran riders, all the other segments are market opportunities for businesses to expand their market share amongst people who are trying to figure out their bike identity (I.e. am I a sport rider/ cruiser/ naked?). The reality is, that this bike is unique for having a cruiser look, while basically being a naked bike. While it's annoying to me, the effectiveness of this marketing and the popularity of these street fighter/ hybrid-cruisier/ neo-cafe-racer (or whatever marketing spin they're pumping out to create a new sub-genre of bike) makes this bike quite sought after, and the second hand market prices retain better than say a cb500x or cbr500r. What this means is that the bike is a little on the expensive side due to demand, despite being a naked bike with basic components (keep in mind that as of time of writing, global supply chain issues mean the bike is on backorder for several months (in Australia (not speaking for other parts of the world with their own unique supply chain issues)).

Tom, the guy comparing this bike to a cb125 (which I've also owned; excellent bike especially if you want to do all your own maintenance/repairs (truly great learner bike, which I'd recommend for Alex so that he gains the confidence to lift the bike off the stand)), seems to have ridden a modified version of the cmx, as he complains about lean angle (this bike performs much better in this regard than virtually every other cruiser on market), and also the riding position (he claims his feet are splayed forward, which makes me think he must've modified as the cmx500 riding position is upright... ), if he can't lean in an upright position, it's probably a problem with his back/ balance, rather than the motorcycle, as the upright position... is actually probably the easiest for standing on pegs/ balancing left/ right... but obviously the guy must've modified his cmx, as what he's talking about is clearly not the stock model (he also complains about lean angle being too little for a LAMs bike, also suggests he might have lowered the foot peg, as the clearance is not that great, but also not as bad as he claims (on a stock version, obviously not the bike he's reviewing)). Though, the other things he mentions are generally true (i.e. the bike uses pretty basic parts, nothing fancy in terms of spec sheet, and the suspension being subpar, and the wheels being of a high-endurance type rather than a track performance type), he seems generally biased against the bike, so I felt it was important to point out the inaccuracies, particularly in terms of the riding position, which again, he seems to be talking about a different bike.

Also another person mentioned that the suspension travel is only 15mm... that's only 1.5 cm.... so completely false information. A quick look online suggests that pre-2020 this bike's travel suspension is (front: 121mm, and rear: 96mm).. if their suspension travel is truly only 1.5cm... I think that's a warranty issue they should look into that.

Finally, my two cents, is that this is a great urban bike with a cruiser-look, particularly in countries like Australia that allow lane-filtering (riding in between cars at low speeds). The bike is small, narrow, and powerful enough for anything from dense urban to open country. The weight is actually much closer to a supersport than a cruiser bike, and many professional commentators emphasize the excellent lean angle combined with agility that allows for quick, confident, and accurate turns.

The down-side has to be the suspensions. The post-2020 version I have has harder rear suspensions (which improves stability around corners on uneven roads, but the trade-off is that it is a bit jarring over poorly-maintained roads). Pre-2020 the rear suspension felt super-bouncy, which was slightly more comfortable, but a little threatening when you hit a bump during a sharp turn. That's my personal opinion, but according to professional commentators, the brakes are what's apparently subpar. I found it to be sufficient, (I don't ride that hard) but I suppose it could be dangerous if you're expecting a strong bite from the front brakes and you enter a corner hotter than you anticipated.

And one last word about value... as compared to the market value of motorcycles in general (a lot of bike prices have been going up, or holding higher than traditional expectations) this bike is decent value for money. But when considering how profitable this bike is for the company, and how it is very no-frills, I believe they could have priced it even lower. Though the components are all high-quality and Honda-reliable, they aren't anything special or performance. That being said, modern bikes are all generally good to the point that it's very easy to reach illegal speeds if you're not paying attention. As reference, when I go from a stop light, most cars are about 100m behind by the time I reach 60kph (while using very little fuel on my end)

Simply outstanding – UPDATED REVIEW I bought my 2020 390 Duke new (in July 2021) and have now ridden it 15,000kms in all circumstances from freeway running to rough and… Read more

rocky fire trails. It was a step up for me from a 200 Duke that I rode for 20,000 kms and thought was a brilliant little machine. I sold that, and a 1992 Honda Dominator I used as a touring bike, and chose the 390 Duke as my one-bike-only: a cheap-to-run, agile machine that's fun for short trips, but also a bike comfortable and long-legged enough to be able to handle an interstate trip. The 390 Duke fits those roles very well indeed. And it fits me perfectly - I'm 174cm tall and 65kg. It also fits my budget - at around $7500 on the road it is astonishingly good value. The 390 Duke has a 373cc high-compression engine that has LOTS of power if ever you get up past 6500rpm or so. Mostly I'm riding at 6500 or lower at or near the speed limit on country roads where it performs admirably and returns fuel figures around 3.6 litres per 100km. Push it hard and you'll use significantly more than that, obviously - so mostly I don't. It is a fabulous bike on a winding road, stable over bumpy corners, with slick gear changing (it doesn't need the clutch up in 3,4,5,6....) and powerful brakes (with ABS). Of particular appeal to me is its light weight: it feels highly responsive to the tiniest inputs, yet secure and steady at speed. In the shed, or parking, its so easy to move around. The seat is comfortable for two hours or more when touring. My daughter doesn't take up a lot of space, and assures me that for her the pillion seat is fine for extended trips. There's no screen (but KTM offer an after-market one at a not-unreasonable price) and there's a bit of pressure on the chest at 120 on the freeway - but it's quite tolerable. Night travelling is easy, with classy all-round LED lighting - the headlight is literally brilliant. I've added rear pannier frames so I can tie stuff on when touring. And bar-end mirrors. And a KTM tankbag. Instrumentation is the sort of high-tech offering that comes with expensive bikes - a TFT display with a switch panel that lets you choose from umpteen options. Once you've been through the twenty pages or so in the instruction book you can make sense of it, and appreciate all the on-board monitoring that the tiny computer is doing for you. Clever stuff. And the looks? Orange/white/black in a scheme that's dramatic and just short of outrageous. I absolutely love it. People come up and talk to me about it when it's parked. It is such a hooligan design, the whole bike. It has a unique feel about it. You have to test-ride one to understand. Summed up, the 390 Duke is a five-star package with more than a little milky-way magic about it. Now 15000 kms and no problems. Carries camping gear on long trips, ten hours in the saddle quite comfortable, outstanding highway overtaking power when dropped to fifth gear, 300 km between refuels. Servicing at dealership is around $250. It’s light on tyres and all-round cheap to run. It might be a ‘learner bike’ but in performance and compact character it makes most bikes outside the learner class seem to me like wasteful excess. Thanks KTM – there’s no better value for money than the 390 Duke. And its woo-hoo! looks are a work of art.

2023 Suzuki GSX8S -3,000 Kilometers – Hi All, Thanks for reading my review of my bike, which I have now sold and I'm continuing to the 8R faired… Read more

version soon. It's a excellent bike, but has only one real drawback which is suspension related. It's too hard at both ends of the bike for my riding weight of 93KG on our poorly surfaced Qld Roads. Well, it's not going to rattle your fillings out, but it doesn't need to be racetrack firm in my opinion.

The suspension, front and rear, is mostly non adjustable at all. No front preloads or rebound adjustments, only rear shock preload, BUT Suzuki no longer provide the adjusting spanner. They tell you to see a Dealer or buy your own (part number supplied). The front end bounces off sharp ridges followed by the rear end. But this gives sharp sports bike like handling on the occasion when you can use it.

The motor is a good one, it doesn't excessively vibrate, there's a little in the Riders foot pegs, but the state of your boot soles (softness) will be the deciding factor in how you feel it. Fuel, being 95 Octane, is fairly economical, and a lot better than a 4 cyl GSX-S1000. Around 4 L/100 KM is the average of what I got.

Seat comfort is OK, and not having the Rider hard against the tank is a good feature. No idea what the lights are in the dark, not part of my riding. Tyres were hardly worn at 3,000 KM, being the stock Dunlop SportsMax 2 fitting, and good in the driving rain showers too that I couldn't avoid.

The quick Shifter action was not the best that I have used with other brands. It was preferable to just use the tried and true methods, and not try to down change while the transmission is under heavy load.

All up, for mid level Rider bike, Suzuki has spun a lot of good engineering with a very fair price. You'll enjoy it as much as I did for sure.

Bob.

engine loves to rev & bit jerky on low gears. seat is comfy for rider as well as pillion passenger. Only issue I have found is the snappy/jumpy Throttle ( ECU flash might help, however, might void the warranty) and is not cheap to do) Other one is the seat height, I'm 5'8' ..and I'm tipping toeing. might be a problem for shorter riders. Definitely not for Learner riders. * doesn't come with grab rail so sometimes its hard while getting out of parking.

I hope this helps

twin cylinder, sounds like a 650cc with enough power for overtake and having fun. Really solid bike, just a bit cheaper on washers and bolts ( them started to become rusty after a couple of months) and that’s probably the only complaint I can do it. Really good on fuel (an easy 300 km with les then $15). Overall, if you looking for a small bike, economic, nice to look with the best value in money, this is the bike for you. I can easily assert that is one of the best 250cc cafe racer style on the market!

Fantastic neo-retro machine – This is my fourth bike and I absolutely love it. The power, the brakes, the suspension, the sound it makes even with the stock exhaust. Nice comfy… Read more

seat, good set of handlebars. This is a fantastic bike out of the box. Really liking the instrument cluster as well for look and functionality. Decent fuel economy as well.

The negatives - terrible stock mirrors (can hardly see anything) and small-ish tank, resulting in a comfortable maximum of around 200 km between fill ups. Coming from a CBR500, where I could do 400 km between fill ups, this feels quite limiting.

All in all - one of the best bikes in that category at the moment. Fantastic price for what you get!

Better than US edition! – Used to ride the trails on a progression of 4 bikes, finishing up with a Yamaha XT650 back in 1998. Finally sold it too, to get something "safer" - a… Read more

Suzuki Sierra soft top. Debatable which one was actually safer!

Anyway, getting back in after 1/4 of a century's break - with a 1/4 century of maturity added to the mix!! Started very carefully, on a CRF230L - quintessential, bulletproof "returning rider"/learner bike, then added a 250L - heavy, soft, but a lot of fun. Wanted like mad for Honda to "let us have" the legendary XR650L which is almost identical to my all time favourite - the XL600R that I sold to get that XT. "NO" is their answer ... they refuse to import them despite overwhelming demand and suitability to our landscape.

SO, with Suzuki withdrawing their nearly as legendary DR650, leaving only the antiquated 400, and Yamaha withdrawing their WR250 leaving just their insanely overpriced Tenere, and Kawasaki letting their porky KLR slog it out and get bigger and fatter, there wasn't much easy choice.

CRF450L insanely priced with equally insane maintenance requirements meant that when Honda FINALLY released their 300L at a price just north of $9K and a big on-paper improvement over the 250 it superceded, it seemed about the only remaining choice. The reviews were spectacular, so in I jumped.

Wait time was around 4 months, but a bloke cancelled his order and I was next in line ... two months early!!

The reviews say the suspension should be the first thing to chuck out. It hasn't bothered us too much in the 5 months we've owned it. I'm used to the 250L, and my days of doing grand leaps are well passed! The long soft suspension is actually a bonus on the tarmac, although the front can dive a little under hard braking. It is super reliable, the Aussie model by sheer good fortune happens to be the one targetted at greater Asia and scores terrific LED light gear ... our American mates have to suffer the pretty ordinary halogen headlight and bulbous indicators inherited from the 250L!!

Motor breaks in well, fuel economy is astronomical - the computer, which is super accurate shows us averaging over 32Km/L across mostly road, and some belting around the paddock. Many say the tank isn't big enough at 7.8L. There are after market options, or the Rally version of this bike comes with a much bigger tank . So you really must decide what you're hoping to achieve with the bike and choose accordingly. We just have a couple of 1.5 Fuel bottles in Nelson Rigg holders. Perfect.

Apart from the good trip/fuel computer mentioned, there is lots of customisation for the display, and there are 2 different odometer options. Tacho, which can be programmed to momentarily hold the peak on the display - very cool. Easily seen rev limit warning light which can be user programmed too. Gear indicator ... although on the matter of gears it has to be said that sometimes the indicator shows neutral, then when we let out the clutch the bike will suddenly drop into either 1st or 2nd and stall out, so the indicator can't always be relied upon. Sometimes it just can't really decide which gear the bike's in, and displays an utterly useless "-"!!

Good on the road, curves and corners no problems, stock tyres said to be utter crap off road or in the wet. Haven't tried them in the wet yet, and to be fair, they will need to be upgraded if you want to do a lot of offroad. The bike is buffeted around by the wind a bit - it's light in the scheme of things, so you'll feel a headwind or a passing semi. I'm 97Kg suited up, and it's fine at 100Km/hr. Will burst OK to 120, but she's pretty well done at that. To be brutally honest, it's at its most comfortable around 90-95. Another 50cc's would work wonders.

The fuel injection is terrific, starts first time every time in the blistering heat or near zero winter. Throttle can be notchy in 1st, and even 2nd to a certain extent. But you get used to it. Gear spacings good, and 6th can still pull away, despite it being very much an overdrive. First is quite low, and it's pretty easy to just bypass it and start off in second. Fuel cap removal and replacement is a cinch - really groovy system.

Servicing intervals about the best I've ever seen on a dual sport, and you could almost change the oil and filter with your eyes closed! I'm pretty sure it takes the same filter as the 250.

Good on the dirt ... but you'll absolutely need a bashplate - not a lot of protection around the lower sanctum at all. In fact we put a B&B Offroad on the day after we bought the bike, and a set of Barkbuster handguards. There's just enough handlebar space to throw on a quadlock too. Seat pretty well standard fare for the class. 90 minutes or so will see you needing a rest.

Downsides ... the suspension travel is sooooo damned long. It seems like you'll never get your leg over it ... and then it sinks a foot when you finally do. The interplay between kickstand and suspension is such that you will find the stand badly wanting. The bike is unstable at rest on anything other than a firm level surface, or even a slightly uphill one. Don't even try on a soft surface!

If you have limited space in your garage, this interplay can become a pain here too ... the bike likes to really spread out when you park it up, and unless you get your angles just right, you'll find it happily leaning riiiiiight over against your car/boat/wall or whatever. Needs a better designed stand for sure.

Paintwork around your boots is not at all durable. Some blokes fit guards to protect it - we couldn't care less .... matches the 250L!!! Brake lever needs to be a lot wider ... several times I've braked thin air when trying to get it down with the Tech 7's. A really weird experience I've not had before. I've had to develop an unnatural inward thrust of the right foot to make sure it hovers over the pedal in case it's needed unexpectedly. I'm reliably informed it bends like butter too, but it apparently quite happily bends back again too!! The gear lever only just passes. I'm thinking a foray into the aftermarket world may be in order for these two ...

The two selector buttons for the display need ridiculously heavy finger pressure to activate. I mean really silly. You literally have to grasp the display cluster in one hand and wrestle your finger to what feels like the first joint into the button to activate it. This is really unusual for Honda stuff ... but there you go.

Engine note is sort of like an angry buzz ... that matures a little as it breaks in. One youtuber likened it to an angry hornet .... and that's about the most honest description I can think of. Is it good?? Is it bad?? I'll just call it personality!!

It's better than the 250 by a good margin on the tarmac, but doesn't really feel the 7KG it's meant to be lighter on the dirt, in my opinion. Mind you, both it and the 250 are perfect in the dirt ... the 300 just doesn't feel that much lighter despite the on paper figures.

At the end of the day it meets our brief here. It ain't the 650 I reeeeeeally want it to be, but it's honest, reliable, cheap to buy and run, and a miser on the gas. A keeper for now. Until that 650 sneaks under the radar!

can't enjoy riding it with check engine light always flashing. had 3 coils and plugs in 10000k. last dealer Dale Britton motorcycles refused to even look at it now and Falsey claim I was rude to their staff, saying I am not happy they had for 3 months and still the same is factual and not being rude! consider paying a little more and get something with backup that can fix it if something unfortunately goes wrong. Sad because I love the look of bike and it used to go so well. (waterpump, dashboard and now misfire/engine light it has spent as much time in shop as being used).
