Yeah, your bike will blow up on the 3rd corner if you dont have fairings, and if you actually make the 4th corner through some fluke, the wind-resistance will rip your arms out of their sockets.
I guess at top level racing they are essential, but a bimbling trackday its fine ![]()

There are better bikes out there. But parallel twins are just IL4s that have had their arms chopped off.
Yeah the suspensions naff, but it's fine for the average weight of jap or a really light local here with fresh oil. Fairings aren't necessary for the track, there's a couple of minitwinners here who race nakeds. I reckon the slightly worse aeros counterbalance the weight loss and make it about the same. Dunno what you're whinging about Dave. Someone who isn't me has had a naked bike* indicating nearly 3 times NSL. *well it had a flyscreen the size of a fag packet on it. Apparently it pulls all the muscles down your shoulder and arm and things that are "over there" are "here" very quickly.

The only trouble I had doing 150 on a naked bike was holding my head forward. My arms were fine.
