  Twofinger I like 'em naked. Sorry. Bigsmile

I prefer a ride that doesn't result in rocks 'n shit hitting me, getting sick after riding in sub 50 degree weather and having my ears ring all summer from wind noise. I also like to be able to carry stuff - sometimes I actually use my bike other than for recreation. Call me crazy.

You're crazy. Lol
 I carry stuff, wear ear plugs, and haven't had anything besides bugs hit me. I use my bikes for sport-touring...YMMV

I rode a shield-less Valkyrie for 5 years and a 919 for 1 year, I'll never go back to a naked bike. More power to you, although it is a matter of time before you get hit with a nice size rock. One broke the skin on my nuckle through my glove one time.
Btw, earplugs actually do something to stop wind noise? since when?

I like the idea. I think they need a smaller front fender... one that doesn't look like it belongs on a fully-faired bike. The larger headlight is a good idea, too. It'd probably look better without the windshield, or with a bikini fairing.

 Well I've been riding naked for over thirty years, and no rocks so far...knock on wood  Wink I did catch a big hard bug on the bridge of my sunglasses at 75 mph on a gravel road one day...almost took me off the bike EEK! Not a problem with a full face helmet.
 Actually I've been wearing noise cancelling earbuds lately. They work great too.

Just last Fri I had a nice size rock ping off my shield at 80 mph, would have hit me in the shoulder or chest.
I've also had a rock hit my helmet hard enough to take paint off. Maybe it's where I live (rocky mts) that there's more rocks kicked up by traffic?
Anyway, glad you enjoy naked bikes, again, you can have 'em.
