Only one of the midclass machine is the Suzuki Burgman - most of the others dosen't seem to be optimised for Fe or driver comfort, just looks.

I remeber Craigs farings well - lot of folks over here rode with those back then ( 1970 - 80).

We used many farings, Wetter vere good, but also Craven and rickmann was not bad. Mostly we rode full farings on long trips, and without having any numbers on it, it was always the guys without farings that had to go gassing up first - but maybee they just needed a rest from the windpressure.

We rode a lot of km's back then - a summer vacation trip was often 5 - 10.000 km round trip in europe, to grece via jugoslavia etc.

Today I've got a BMW R80s in the basement for a full restoration job.
