Just wanted to say..............
I've ridden several naked bikes (without shields and even with fly screens) and the wind blast always gets to me even after a few minutes of 70+ MPH of freeway riding. With this bike, I can ride for at least an hour and not get beaten up as bad.
Maybe it's the front fairing that helps, I'm not sure, but whatever it is it feels great for a shorty shield. I have ordered the factory tall however, I'll be using the shorty for the warmer months.
I'm simply ecstatic with this bike, both in ride/power and looks (of course very subjective) and this coming from a guy that rode an FJR.
