hehe touche, its only the lowers, , its still a faired SV650, not the el cheapo version with only a single headlight
I did test ride an unfaired though before I got my sport so I can appreciate the wind blast. maybe thats why your judgement is skewed

No ... they cover them with uneccesarry fairings to make them look like they are quicker ( which they aren't ) ....
