I would be real interested to find out how tough it is to handle with high side-winds.

My crusty Honda 500 has a full coverage conventional fairing and on one particular day back about 20 years ago, there was a sustained 40 mph side wind that made things, shall I say "very interesting" to drive through!!

I can't imagine what it would be like with the side panel coverage of the motorcycle pictured here!
