When I converted my FZ6 to streetfighter I had the same experience.. VERY fun to ride and had a lot of people ask me about the bike. The only time I wasn't thrilled with it.. cold weather + highway riding.
I wouldn't mind having a naked bike to ride around occasionally, but when it's start getting cold there goes the fun.
Yea, naked bikes are surely fun in the Summer. I wouldn't mind having a naked bike to ride around occasionally, but when it's start getting cold there goes the fun
The fun of riding a naked bike far outweighs any weather protection you might think you get from the fairing. Trust me on that.
:tup:
I saw this on the ADV site in "road warriors". It is surprising at how well the round light suits the bike, despite the angular body styling. Some things always look classic, it seems.
I must disagree. My eyes would start to tear up 3 minutes into the ride on my naked FZ6 when the temps would be just above freezing mark.
On FZ1 with ZG touring screen, wearing same gear, I can ride for 30 minutes at highway speed and only my finger tips get cold.
Fairing does a pretty good job of keeping your core warm.. that's what really counts when it comes to staying warm. Drop core temp and body will start cutting circulation to extremities.
Sure there's a way to get around it.. heated vest + heated gloves would do the trick, I bet.. I never tried though.
Having said all that.. more power to you for doing the conversion and awesome if you can ride a full naked bike in the cold without getting cold! :tup:
