Top 5 best hyper-naked bikes you can buy in the Philippines

Naked bikes are unquestionably one of the most popular motorcycle segments. What’s not to like about that? You get the performance of a sportbike with the comfort of a regular roadster. This balance of performance and comfort results in a platform that is incredibly adaptable and can handle almost any task you throw at it.

Now, motorcycle manufacturers are continuously attempting to improve the performance of their machines. As a result, a new sub-segment of the naked motorcycle market has emerged: the hyper naked. As the name implies, hyper naked motorcycles are naked bikes that spend far too much time in the gym and provide otherworldly levels of performance. Fortunately, the local market has a good selection of hyper naked bikes. Let’s look at the top five best hyper naked bikes available in the Philippines.
