'Naked' bike sales higher than ever

[Beemer-5]

The musclebikes, naked bikes, call them what you will, are selling better than ever.
It seems that the fully-faired sports bikes might have had their day as the best-sellers, going by the sales figures and industry predictions.

What is becoming clear, is that more and more people are regarding the ever more stringent roads we have as a huge problem for what is, basically, a racing bike.
Today's best sports bikes have got the power race bikes had a few short years back.
