Cross wind sensitivity in a purpose built enclosed two wheeler doesn't have to be any worse than a normal naked bike. The bad rap about cross wind performance is coming from DIY aero retro fits that impose a really tall rear fairing behind a stock bike sit up position. Off the shelf 120mpg at 65mph with road manners that are identical to a normal motorcycle would be easy if Honda thought anyone would buy it and could sell brand new for $10,000. $7,000 when production went to 200,000 per year and built next to my bike in Thailand.
