wind protection is the main benefit and they look good Thumbs Up

Youll notice alot of improvement at high speeds as you will be able to tuck behind the screen pushing the wind right over you rather than in your face.

Get one. I rode a mate's bike without one and couldn't stand it! I was very pleased to get back behind my DB screen. Very Happy

Man you've become such a tart! , need them only really for touring , otherwise buy bigger shirts , thats IF you wear a shirt to work.

I did and spent alot of time cruising up and down motorways (say 90+) on the NTV which is kinda tiring.

Got one on the ZZR and it's great at keeping the wind off. I don't feel any wind resistance until the bike is at "Silly speed TM".

with zilch fairing or a std screen , you eat windblast , this means to stay looking forward you need to actively lean against the wind, its sort of like exercise the faster you go the bigger your neck muscles get, cruising on the NTV up to 90 is ok any faster and its really tiring , following Fran (when she had her XJ) at 130mph+ was even more tiring.
