I cant imagine some ppl can actually ride constant at 140+km/h withour a windshield on a S4. I tried, but like doing chinup for 1 hr. I took out my cos my speedo mount broke because of a fall. Now no windshield, damn kang kor.

 

I would just like to find out, how many ppl actually prefer to tour or ride fast (130-140) constant WITHOUT A WINDSHIELD.

I feel that riding "naked" at 140 is okie, and just need getting used too. The reason why most of us feel uncomfortable at higer speed is due to wind Buffing. ie wind is hitting directly on to whatever exposed body part. This can be alternately reduced, by wearing a bike jacket, a FF, some changes in riding position. to make yur body more "aerodynamic".

1 point to take note..

 

when u riding lets say 180kmh w/o windshield.. the wind is blasting at your chest rite?

 

so u CLING on to the bars which is gonna affect your handling of the bike..

[Rikk]

ya i koe some people can ride without windshield at high speed..

 

the question is how long only, hehehe...

[HONG]

[richsg300]

you are always welcome bro.....

[Xuthus]

err... a bit late for my post but anyway...

 

I tried riding above 150 on my Vtec3 wif full face. My feeling after 15mins is as follows:

 

1) My hand numb (Wearing HD open-finger gloves)

 

2) My Face numb numb (wif SHOEI full face)

 

3) The hair near my shin 'dancing' around like ganna some electric shock

 

4) Whole body heat up real fast after stopping (Wearing Levi's jacket)

 

5) My heart pounding fast (Wondering will i receive my summon in 2 weeks time)

 

Due to my short hands, my riding posture is quite leaning front so most of the wind gust onto my helmet and hands instead. Take cares of the aerodynamic

[NoobVtec2]

I don't feel any resistance while riding at 180km/h coz i can dodge the wind...

 

lol not funny right?

[Guest oddyseus]

got no windshield can tahan until 140...above that then have crouch really close to the tank...i mean really close...like in love or something:cheeky: 150~160 still can tahan upright, macho:thumb: but uncomfortable.. above that,,, :giddy:

[raz]

can tahan 160km/h for sometime with windshield... but more than tat really have to pi chia....

[richsg300]

[mokamoka]

get a nice windshield, then just let it deflect the wind... else, do a project to convert your bike to look like the HornetS... with front cowling.. hehe... NICE!!!

but heard that having a windshield travelling @ such high speed will reduce the traction on the grd for ur front tyre leyn the handle will shake until quite badly when u doing hight speed bends right????

[kennethy]

actually, on the contrary...

 

a well design windsheild serves 2 main functions:

 

1. to give frontal cover to the rider; in terms of air resistance and objects like little pebbles on the road,

2. aerodymanics principles.

 

the second function the one that contradicts your statement. in physics, newton's 2nd law "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".

 

when travelling at high speed, the windshield will force the a large amount of air upwards and hence producing a strong 'reaction force' which pushes the bike down to the road...

 

hope it explains...

I think it really depends on the bike. Some naked bikes can be rode well above 120kph without a windshield. At the most crouch lower loh. At least that's what I do.
