Naked bikes usually walk the line between sport performance and daily practicality, but the 2025 Honda CB750 makes doing both look easy. Voted the Most Comfortable Naked Bike in this year’s Luimoto Comfort Awards, it offers neutral ergonomics and lightweight handling that never forces you to muscle it around corners. Comfort upgrades like seat covers, Gold Gel inserts, and tank grips can make it a machine that feels just as good on long commutes as it does on winding roads.

Naked bikes are meant to be do-it-all machines: agile enough for corners, stable enough for highways, and comfortable enough for real-world riding. But that last part can trip up even the best bike brands, who often focus on reducing weight or improving aesthetics to the exclusion of building a bike that feels good to ride.
Aggressive geometry from sportbike DNA can often leave riders leaning forward more than they’d like, while more stripped-down suspension setups can transmit every shock straight into the rider’s spine. Seat comfort also varies wildly between models, and the absence of wind protection can lead to fatigue on longer rides.
But every now and then, a manufacturer finds the sweet spot. And in 2025, Honda did exactly that with the CB750.
Read on to see why this bike won the 2025 Luimoto Comfort Award for the naked motorcycle segment, then find the accessories you need to make your motorcycle more comfortable, no matter what kind it is.
And while you’re at it, check out this first ride video we found on YouTube:
The CB750 isn’t the loudest or flashiest bike in its class, but it nails the fundamentals that matter for everyday comfort. A perfectly neutral rider triangle, manageable weight, and impeccable engine smoothness make it the naked bike most riders can live with day in and day out.
Honda’s approach was simple: keep the ergonomics natural, tune the suspension for mixed riding, and make the powerband friendly without dulling the fun.
The 2025 Honda CB750 puts you in what many riders call the “Goldilocks” position: not too aggressive, but not too upright. Just right for many, in fact.
Upright handlebars keep your wrists and shoulders relaxed without pushing you too far forward.
Mid-mounted footpegs maintain a natural knee angle that’s comfortable for both city commutes and backroad sprints.
A wide, flat seat provides plenty of space to shift positions on long rides.
32.7-inch seat height allows most riders to flat-foot confidently at stops while still offering enough ground clearance for spirited cornering.
It’s a layout that welcomes you instead of forcing you to adapt. In this category, that’s not always easy to find.
While the CB750 doesn’t come with luxury amenities like cruise control or heated grips, its real comfort advantage lies in refinement.
Smooth 749cc parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank delivers broad, linear torque with minimal vibration.
Showa SFF-BP fork and adjustable rear monoshock provide surprisingly plush damping for a midweight street bike.
Slip/assist clutch keeps lever effort light in stop-and-go traffic.
Selectable Riding Modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, User) let you tailor throttle response for comfort or excitement.
Wide handlebar leverage helps the bike stay stable at highway speeds but effortless in parking lots.
The result: a motorcycle that’s as easy to live with as it is fun to ride.
The CB750 is already versatile, but riders looking for long-distance comfort or custom fit often start with a few easy mods:
Comfort or gel seat inserts to cushion impacts and extend saddle time.
Small touring windscreens to reduce fatigue from windblast.
Adjustable levers and bar risers to fine-tune reach and wrist angle.
Tank grips and frame pads for better control in corners and stops.
Luimoto’s line of seat covers and comfort products for the Honda CB750 lets you personalize both form and function:
Luimoto seat covers add traction, durability, and premium aesthetics.
Luimoto Gold Gel inserts help absorb vibration and keep you comfortable mile after mile.
Luimoto tank grips stabilize your body under braking and prevent sliding on the seat.
Each upgrade enhances the CB750’s everyday usability without changing its easygoing personality.

To learn more about the reasons for each choice, read our full articles on every winner, which we’ll be publishing steadily for the rest of the year.
And remember, you chose these! So if you don’t see a specific model (or even a specific category) you were looking for, make sure you vote for it next year when we do this again!
If you’re shopping for a naked bike, here are a few comfort factors to prioritize:
Be realistic about your riding time. If you commute or tour often, upright ergonomics matter more than raw power.
Check your fit and reach. Seat height and handlebar width make a bigger difference than you think.
Suspension setup is everything. Even a small preload tweak can turn harsh into plush.
Don’t underestimate vibration control. Grips, seats, and tank pads all help.
Always test ride. A five-minute sit in a showroom tells you nothing about hour two on the highway.
The CB750 proves that comfort and capability aren’t mutually exclusive. They’re what make a bike worth riding every day.
Luimoto makes premium seat covers and comfort upgrades for a wide range of models, including tons of bikes by Honda and other major manufacturers. Designed with precision-cut materials, innovative technology, and superior stitching, our products offer better support and weather resistance than most OEM options.
Whether you ride a naked, supersport, or ADV bike, a Luimoto upgrade helps every mile feel smoother, cooler, and more controlled.
