While I agree with the above when talking about pretty ladies, I have to say I was REALLY impressed with the screen on the Street Triple I tested this week. It was really easy to ride at three figure speeds for short blasts, and IMHO looks the mutts.

fitted an after market givi screen to the wifes bike makes it good for 90 plus if u need to

I have a naked and yeah, anything above 70 and its pretty uncomfortable wind wise. Motorways are bit of a mare, short blast of 90.... I find do-able but not very pleasant and a bit of a battle.

Oh and I havent got a fat neck...........yet

believe it or not, i used to get pains after half hour from my neck holding my helmet up.

you soon get used to it, trust me

HI you need to speed up a bit I'm a girl and I went a lot lot faster, but not telling how much as someone may be watching

Jans has only recently passed her test and had her SV a week, so I dont really think she needs to be speeding up just yet.

one of my lady pupils didnt go over 50mph much on her new restricted sv in the first few weeks, 2 advanced days training and a small givi screen she was over taking me doing 90 plus in the dark on the way home from a ride out

Get some ear plugs and get on with it.

My naked SV is so smooth on the motorways - I am more that chuffed with it.

If it's very windy then slow down.

... then ride faster and make the pain worthwhile.
