I used to dream about this bike when it first came out.
Back in '86 there was nothing that even came close to the modern and space age styling of the Nuda.
If you notice closely, it was one of the first sport bikes to feature a 'Link and Lever' type front suspension.
In other words it had no 'forks', just a link and a single sided swingarm, to which the brakes were attached.
Ofcourse the aerodynamics must have been killer as well since nothing seemed out of place on the fluid styling lines of the bodywork.
