	World Naked Bike Ride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international event in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, and fewer on skateboards, roller blades, roller skates) to "protest oil dependency and celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies".
		This distinctive form of Critical Mass and Critical Ass is often described or categorized as a form of political protest, street theatre, party-on-wheels, streaking, public nudity and clothing-optional recreation and thus attracts a wide-range of participants.
		Others say that participants should not be naked unless they conform to their own ideals of physical attraction.

	Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art bikes are also common, and many different types of human-powered cycles have also been used including BMX bikes, cycle rickshaws, unicycles, clown bicycles, tall bikes, lowrider bicycles, tandem bicycles and tricycles.
		Eight naked men were reported to have cycled through the parade in the fourth year of the naked cyclists: "All the nudes: Overheard at the Fremont Solstice Parade on Saturday was a woman spectator commenting: "Oh, no. Not eight naked men on bicycles.
		The seventh year of the naked cyclists at the solstice marked the year when one of the ride's major organizers became involved in the ride for the first time, and was the only one bodypainted in a group of about six people.

	USATODAY.com - Sales pop a wheelie as motorcycles get naked (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The industry is buzzing about "naked bikes," high-performance sport motorcycles that are stripped of the large, colorful and curvy plastic moldings called fairings mounted around the engine, frame and underbody of most sport bikes.
		While sport bikes typically get the best technology from the racetrack, such as aluminum frames and quality brakes, naked bikes are getting some of the same technology.
		Naked bikes "speak to a lot of motorcyclists not only because of the styling and technology but because of their riding comfort," says Ty van Hooydonk, spokesman for Discover Today's Motorcycling.

	Motorcycle Daily
		Opting to test one of the first SV1000 nakeds in the U.S., rather than wait to ride a unit that we could hang onto a bit longer, this report is somewhat of a hybrid between a "first ride" and a "ride review".
		I thought this might allow the bike to change directions a bit quicker, but increasing preload on the rear shock is a bit more difficult than it is on the SV650 (which has pre-set detents for rear shock spring preload, as opposed to the 1000's straight, stepless collar).
		We didn't have the bike long enough to come up with a reasonably precise estimate of fuel range, but mileage in the high 30s should be easily achievable, and perhaps a bit more.

		The new “K” bike, an inline four, is to be marketed as a naked bike, and a very good looking one at that.
		Further news is that BMW is going to use the new “K” bike to replace the successful and entertaining Boxer cup race series, which should be some of the more interesting racing to watch.
		The idea, we hear, is to race the naked bike to show off the engineering but why not at least admit there is a fashion statement to be made as well.

		On top of that, though, is that naked bikes are all about the right attitude and state of mind more than anything else—unlike sportbikes, for instance, where the criteria are all the same and all agreed upon.
		Instead, consider this to be a snapshot sampler of motorcycling’s naked bike class circa 2005.
		And as we mentioned up front, a proper naked bike has to have emotional content that stems from a particular attitude and state of mind.

		The bike that did make it, to duke it out with the Ducati, was the Kawasaki ZRX, for the simple reason that our fastest tester (that would be me) went fastest on it on day one.
		The Kawasaki ZRX ain't exactly sophisticated, but the fact it's got 165cc more than the next biggest bike makes up for a lot of that; 80 foot-pounds of torque at under 7000 rpm overcomes the fact that the Kawasaki is the heaviest bike in the group too.

	Kawasaki Z1000 Naked Bike first ride by Motorcyclist Magazine
		A bike named Z1000 required a dohc four-cylinder powerplant, and Kawasaki had a very suitable basis in the liquid-cooled, 16-valve unit from the ZX-9R.
		The big 16-valve motor always had the grunt to send the bike rocketing towards the next bend with no need for a downchange through a six-speed gearbox that needed slightly more lever effort than some, but didn't miss a shift all day.
		This bike is sporty by the standards of big naked fours; tauter than the FZ1 and in a different league to the heavier, twin-shock retro-monsters.

		We caught up to the stragglers: the wizened older guy with the cowboy hat and his gray haired running dog; the blonde couple: he peddling with all his might, she, a competition ice skater, heroically straddled the seat in third position plea-aye the entire ride.

	Painted Naked Cyclists of the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade
		Seattle saw a massive group of eighty painted naked cylists in the 2003 Fremont Summer Solstice Parade, four times as many as in years previous.
		As some may remember, the 2001 event was marked by a police threat of arrest of any naked participants and, if nudity in the parade was not discouraged by the FAC, a possibility of shutting down the festival in the future by revoking the event's permit.
		According to JC, a long time FAC member, the "crash" by naked cyclists has become an expected part of the parade that began with a small number of guys in 1995.

		June 10, 2006 was the date for the World Naked Bike Ride, which -- as its name suggests -- is an international political event at which protesters take off all their clothes and ride bicycles through various cities around the globe.
		The focus of the protest is theoretically to encourage people to give up their "dependence on fossil fuel" -- but in practice the messages (which the organizers tell participants to paint directly on their bodies) are more scattered, ranging from "free speech" to presidential politics.
