Recommended motorcycle based on owner satisfaction
The following is a ranking of recommended motorcycles with high owner satisfaction from among the "MY BIKES" registered in the Webike Community. Unlike rankings based on sales volume, these are based on the number of MY BIKES registered and the overall evaluation scores given by owners, so you can see the real recommended motorcycles in each category.
In this issue, we will introduce the Top 5 of the "Top 5 Recommended 1000cc+ Naked" ranking, which has a high satisfaction rate among owners who own one!
No.5 YAMAHA XJR1300
Webike Motorcycle Selection Listed Price: 627,000 - ¥1,298,000
The XJR is Yamaha's last naked vehicle to be equipped with a 1250cc air-cooled four-cylinder engine, and while it has the beauty of an air-cooled engine, it also has a superb taste when cranked. The engine has a unique characteristic that makes you feel as if delicious juices are coming out every time you open the accelerator pedal.

No.4 Honda CB1300 Super Four
Webike Motorcycle Selection Listed Price: 458,000 - ¥1,936,000
The CB1300SF is the only large naked model still in production and is the standard bearer of the CB1300 series, and its literally large size not only gives it a powerful appearance, but also provides impressive acceleration thanks to its large-torque engine. While high-powered motorcycles have become commonplace in recent years, the CB's 112Nm of torque gives it the solid acceleration of a well-trained veteran.

| Engine displacement | 1,284 cc |

| Overall Length x Overall Height x Overall Width | 2,200mm x 1,125mm x 795mm |

No.3 Kawasaki ZRX1200R
Webike Motorcycle Selection Listed Price: 728,000 - ¥2,488,000
While large naked models are literally large in size, the ZRX1200R is compact and easy to maneuver, as if riding a model one class smaller. The ZRX1200R is also a very attractive bike that is light and exhilarating to ride.
ZRX1200R specifications and related information
| Engine displacement | 1,164 cc |

No.2 Honda CB1300 Super Bol d'or
Webike Motorcycle Selection Listed Price: 598,000 - ¥2,046,000
The Super Bol d'or is a cowled version of the CB1300SF. The wind protection and visual effect of the cowl is outstanding, and it is popular as a real tourer. This is also because the CB 1300 series is originally very stable, maneuverable, and comfortable, making long-distance riding very easy. The latest model has further refined its appeal with cruise control and a quick shifter as an option.
CB1300 Superboldor specifications and related information
| Engine displacement | 1,284 cc |

No.1 Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG
Webike Motorcycle Selection Listed Price: 990,000 - ¥2,998,000
The DAEG was the final model of the ZRX1200. The ease of handling and athletic performance of its large yet compact body were highly appreciated until the final model. Although there are many high-power models, the DAEG's tasteful performance with its large, thick mid- to low-speed torque is what makes it different from the recent models with SS-derived engines.

| Engine displacement | 1,164 cc |

Summary
Currently, only the CB1300 series of large naked models continue to be produced. Although street fighters have become the mainstay of this class of nakeds, it is still the nakeds that have the imposing style that is typical of the larger models. I think it can be said that they have style. In a sense, the large-size naked is a very good class to be in for the long haul, as it is a universal form of motorcycle that does not go out of style. I would like to wait and see if big nakeds will shine where the retro boom is headed.
