I still think it's all what you're used to. The person who spends 10 years behind a fairing will be in for a shock when they go for a ride on a naked for the first time. Newbies are especially sensitive to it because they're scared of every sensation. You get used to it, though.
I really do prefer riding bikes with little to no wind protection. A fly screen is a nice addition to keep bugs and muck off you but I enjoy the clean air and the feeling I get riding a bike with nothing obscuring the view of the road ahead & below me. I've been comfortable over 140 mph on my 919. It sure creates a sensation of speed, too :cheerleader:
