I drove Allerts fully faired honda

Hi,

I'm Allerts college/friend. I'm als building similar bike like Allert.
I drove his several times, it's quite comfortable but very sensitive to sidewind.
It is not save to drive on a windy day, wich we have a lot here in Holland.
Probably that's why you don't see fully faired motorcycles more.
I'm planning to build mine more open like the german Evomoto
( see photo or Home )
This guy rides it allmost daily and does not have much trouble with wind.
He's getting about the same mpg as Allert.
Allert's fully faired honda has a better shape but more frontal area, Evomoto has a very small frontal area but not the best shape, this give the same mpg but is much less sensitive to side winds.
And you have to dress warmer.

Happy holiday's, Theo
