The F had to be more planted and easier to ride, after all it is designed for grandma to ride >So many reviewers are saying the F is the better more planted bike. This explains why the naked owners are putting it down so much. And the fact that it looks so much better.

If you are scared to go over 100 km/h then the naked is for you. Good excuse not to get a little speed up. I guess you could call it a beginners bike.The F had to be more planted and easier to ride, after all it is designed for grandma to ride >![]()
You're not wrong about hanging on.I was reading somewhere that the fairing on the F has a lot more down force than the naked due to the fairing. Personally I prefer the look of the naked and enjoy hanging on for dear life above 8000 revs![]()
Audi drivers are the new Volvo drivers; all dangerous, and i should know my son drives one>2nd and 3rd for me.
I don't use clutch for upshift when I'm giving it just so I can hang on better.
On a slightly different note my ABS saved me today when an Audi (surprise surprise) pulled out on me whilst I was doing 50. I ended up alongside his rear passenger window when I matched his speed. The feckwit still gave me the evils in his mirror like it was my fault.
On previous bikes I don't think I would have been able steer around him so I'm pleased I spent the extra getting it now.
You'll never feel that.I know the F model has stiffer front forks due to the extra weight of the fairings which help add downforce at speed, but also makes the bike heavier at 471 lbs wet vs. the naked wet weight of just under 460 lbs.
Rightyo, I'll Play! >So many reviewers are saying the F is the better more planted bike. This explains why the naked owners are putting it down so much. And the fact that it looks so much better.

OR the F is for people who live in frigid climates like Minnesota. I would like to see how manly you are up here riding a naked bike in the fall and spring when it is 30-40 deg F!Rightyo, I'll Play! >
the S1000 is for manly men, men who like their bikes like their women - naked, bucking, and making you work for it.
The faired version, or should that read fairy version...well, men of a *ahem*, gentle nature, or those for whom a light breeze spells danger, have been catered for too. It's like how some schools have a "special" class for "special" kids with "different needs". Nothing wrong with that!
Over to you TT!![]()
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, just a response to the OP's post. I really didn't think that anyone could take what I wrote seriously, but there you go.OR the F is for people who live in frigid climates like Minnesota. I would like to see how manly you are up here riding a naked bike in the fall and spring when it is 30-40 deg F!
OR for people who live in a country where there are 80 MPH speed limits and VAST space exists so you can maintain this speed for hours.
Kinda tired if all the F bashing by riders who just need to beat their chest.
