Well, maybe all that extra fairing will absorb some of it.

I wonder too, how it acts at 50mph when along comes an 18-wheeler.
For an answer to this question, ask Craig Vetter how his streamliner works in terrible winds.

He has ridden his fairing through all kinds of stuff out there in windy California in the moutains.

Also there is the huge "Carver" motorcycle from Europe that seems to do well in high sidewinds.
