2015 Alps Masters – Naked Bikes

Naked in the Alps, a great feeling. True to the motto “No clothes, no problem”, fun comes before reason. Which ‘Naked Bike’ has its nose in front at the 2015 Alps Masters?? The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR, BMW F 800 R, Ducati Monster 821 or Suzuki GSX-S 1000?

Welcome to driving pleasure. Naked Bike plus Dolomites, this will have you grinning from ear to ear. Tearing up the passes, converting premium gasoline into endorphins, fill after fill. Like in the other categories, in the Alps its own rules apply. The huge peak power is great, but is no use if the bike doesn’t get its act together after the nasty hairpin bend. An excessively firm chassis occasionally results in the loss of secure contact with the road, when there’s a heavy frost or if the road surface still has nasty bumps after the winter. Pressure across the entire range, balanced handling, a good measure of everyday and long journey compatibility – this is how we would want the perfect Naked Bike for the Alps.
