It's a bit quick and it carries it's speed without me realising how fast I am making progress!

I'm wondering whether a naked biked would help reduce top end speed (I also have Husqvarna 701 enduro which huffs and puffs upto 70mph but isnt that comfortable).

I've not actually tried a super naked but I was thinking about a Superduke, Brutale etc.

I know I just need to ease off, but would a super naked help with reducing top end speed?

A superduke would do the opposite of slow you down.

You probably need to be thinking of something in the middleweight parallel twin category.

Even then you’ll be doing 90 everywhere if you don’t have any self control.

I absolutely get that, my 701 enduro keeps me slow.....

Previous naked bikes over 70mph weren't that comfortable to ride despite them having the performance to go much faster than 70 so I'm thinking no fairing with big engine + my own control might help.......

Not sure I want to lose the attractiveness of a big bike, just need the ability to control my top end speed naturally...

As a gen 3 Superduke owner, all I can say is that they are absolutely phenomenal. It is truly a bike that will and can do everything. It will potter along through towns but hit the open road and you will embarrass superbikes. Touring is no worries with them either. They really are one bike to do it all. Oh and they are superbly comfy too.
