At 47hp and 44 lbs•ft of torque, the Honda NC700S isn&#8217;t exactly blowing the doors off with its performance figures, but of course that is not really the purpose of Honda&#8217;s new motor, which the NC700S features.

One of the more anticipated models set to be unveiled in Milan, Italy is the MV Agusta Brutale 675, the naked counterpart to the still unavailable MV Agusta F3 that debuted at EICMA last year. While MV hasn't been teasing the three-cylinder (tre pistoni) street bike as heavily as the F3, the Brutale 675 is just as important to the Italian brand in bringing the company back to profitability.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/mv-agusta-brutale-675-video-teaser/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Rumor: BMW K1600R Six-Cylinder Naked Bike in the Works</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/rumors/bmw-k1600r-rumor/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/rumors/bmw-k1600r-rumor/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:04:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rumors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW Concept 6]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW K1600R]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Concept 6]]></category> <category><![CDATA[K1600R]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rumor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[six-cylinder]]></category> <category><![CDATA[street naked]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=23182</guid> <description><![CDATA[We haven't seen a good solid stirring of the motorcycle rumormill in a while, but today whispers of a BMW six-cylinder naked bike, a K1600R if you will, have be filtering through the web forums and into our ears. With the rumors centering mostly around the fact that BMW introduced its 1,600cc inline-six motor at EICMA in 2009 by sticking it in a very attractive street-naked motorcycle, speculation has begun as to whether the Bavarian firm would follow that concept up with an actual production model (we always did find it strange that the concept for a touring motorcycle was a street-naked).]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/rumors/bmw-k1600r-rumor/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>55 Photos of the 2011 Benelli TnT R160</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2011-benelli-tnt-r160-photos/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2011-benelli-tnt-r160-photos/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:32:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2011 Benelli TnT R160]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benelli]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benelli TnT R160]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[R160]]></category> <category><![CDATA[steetfight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[street naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TnT R160]]></category> <category><![CDATA[triple]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=22984</guid> <description><![CDATA[There's something about Adrian Morton's design with the TnT that we're drawn to like a moth to flame, nearly bringing one into this author's stable of motorcycles, but seeing the Benelli TnT R160 in person in 2009, we were disappointed on the fit-and-finish of the bike, as the pitted and cloudy carbon exterior seemingly matched the interior: unrefined. With the 2011 Benelli TnT R160 now ready for dealer showrooms, Benelli's top streetfighter seems to have benefited from a better build process, and we hear that some of the electrical issues have even been resolved. While we'll reserve judgment as to whether the bike can maintain a positive net charge at a stand-still, it sure is stunning in its final form.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2011-benelli-tnt-r160-photos/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>20</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Concept: Bimota TB-2 675 by Oberdan Bezzi</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/concept-bimota-tb2-675-oberdan-bezzi/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/concept-bimota-tb2-675-oberdan-bezzi/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2011 16:04:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota TB-2]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota TB-2 675]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drawing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Oberdan Bezzi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[render]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sketch]]></category> <category><![CDATA[streetfighter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[three-cylinder]]></category> <category><![CDATA[triple]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=22551</guid> <description><![CDATA[Last week Oberdan Bezzi inked his concept for a Triumph-powered Bimota, dubbed the Bimota TB-1. That fully-faired alternative to the MV Agusta F3 naturally needs a naked streetfighter variant, and accordingly Bezzi has penned today&#8217;s latest concept sketch, which he calls the Bimota TB-2 675. Featuring the Triumph 675cc three-cylinder motor, the Bimota TB-2 675 competes against its donor the Triumph Street Triple, and goes head-to-head with the heavily anticipated MV Agusta Brutale 675 B3.

The naked street bike slots in with the middleweight offerings that we've recently seen from a bevy of manufacturers, the most notable of which being the Yamaha Fazer8.

Knowing that the 900cc parallel-twin motor comes from the BMW F800 series, it's expected that the extra displacement will come from the motor being bored out. Now adding to our knowledge, Husqvarna UK has outlined that the new 900cc street bike will be a naked machine that comes in either a standard and "factory" specification. The new 900cc parallel twin motor will also be the basis for further street machines from Husqvarna, which will be released farther down the line.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/husqvarna-900cc-street-bike-naked-details/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Rendered: MV Agusta Brutale 675 B3</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-brutale-b3-675-render/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-brutale-b3-675-render/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:30:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brutale B3]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brutale B3 675]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Italian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[italy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jerome Vannesson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Merci Monsieur]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta Brutale B3]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta Brutale B3 675]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta F3]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked-bike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photochop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photoshop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[render]]></category> <category><![CDATA[three-cylinder]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=19365</guid> <description><![CDATA[Naturally with the new MV Agusta F3 supersport, which according to MV Agusta will be available in the Fall of 2011, comes the news that we&#8217;ll be seeing a naked version of the 675cc three-cylinder motorcycle.
