My motorcycle, a Yamaha Seca 650, is a European riding style
machine.   That  means the rider leans forward, the pegs are
back a little, and  the  handlebars  are  flatter  than  the
typical  American style, which is more of what we would call
a "chopper" style.  Now, given the European riding style, is
there  any point in buying a fairing?  I suppose it can make
things easier in cold weather and rain,  but  on  the  other
hand,  I  expect it'd eliminate the desirable lifting of the
riders's weight off his (her) wrists by the wind.  I'd  like
to  hear  from  someone  who has put a fairing on a European
riding style bike.
