I don't care what anyone says, there's no way any naked bike is as comfortable as a faired one at 80mph+ speeds. If you've had a faired bike in the past, you'll miss the fairing when the weather gets bad or you want to crank the pace up - fact.

There's nothing big or tough about riding a naked bike and the same applies to a faired one. I, and about 85% of the motorcycling community, prefer faired bikes for their practicality.

FWIW, I see more fat ugly munters on the back of naked XJRs, ZRXs etc than I do on faired bikes, usually they're wearing cammo trousers and a leather cut off waistcoat or tassled leather jacket with crappy patches badly sewn on. They are all individuals, which is why they all dress the same and ride the same kind of bike

As for you crashing that many times in that short space of time, well what more can I say? Maybe if you bought a faired bike you'll learn how to stay upright if it meant you had to pay for repairs to bodywork

In truth, anyone reading my posts might think I was from Yorkshire - "I say what I like and I like what I say"

When I got the hornet I hated motorways because anything above 80 was a no-go. Then I shoved a little givi screen on it and now 110 is comfortable.
