500 miles in a day an you'll be knackered on any bike!

I do find even the half fairing on my SV makes more miles much more pleasant. Difficult to say though as my experience of naked bikes was my old 125 and the 250 I'm doing up, both of which are a lot lighter and feeling knocked about and less planted can add to tiredness too. I'm well aware when I'm doing 70 on a naked bike. The wind reminds me! I sometimes don't realise when I'm doing 70 on my SV. Although some of that is down to it being generally a smoother ride cruising that speed as well as the wind protection.
