Naked bike - это спортивный мотоцикл без пластика. Обычно его теряют в результате stuntriding'a или падений...
вот что пишет wikipedia.org:
Naked bike refers to a class of road motorcycles without fairings.
Also known as a "standard" or "street bike," this is the basic form of the motorcycle stripped down to its fundamental parts. The emphasis is on functionality and ergonomics rather than aerodynamic body panels and exaggerated riding positions that are most common on sport bikes.
The original "naked" bikes were the café racers of the 1950s and 1960s, which were bikes that were stripped down for riding and racing to the many transport cafés (hence the name "café racer") that had sprung up along the highways. However, the "modern" naked bike trend (as the first motorcycles could be classified as naked bikes as well) started in Europe, during the late 1980s. At that time, sportbikes, especially Suzuki's GSX-R, were popular all over the continent. However, the relatively high speed and acceleration of these motorcycles, coupled with the unstable (compared to today) suspension and frame components used, resulted in many crashes in which the bike's plastic fairings were superficially damaged. Because these fairings were expensive to replace, many began to strip them off altogether, resulting in the first streetfighters. Japanese manufacturers were quick to catch on, and in 1988, Honda created the first production naked bike, the Honda HawkGT NT650. Others soon followed.
