yes its not as comfy as a faired bike, but unless your fairly weak, you will cope easily with the wind.

im 6ft and 100kg and can sit almost upright at that speed.

knees locked in and arms braced of course

only time you need to tuck in on a naked is when its fking cold and you want some of that sweet engine warmth....

hehe that's funny, I said the same thing: up to 140mph (around 220km/h) is fine, after that, you better hold on to your handlebar!
But one big plus for me is: I am more mellow when I ride now... you feel the wind more, which means you feel the speed more, which means you ride slower... and in turn you get higher mpg (which is weird because I thought it would decrease after going Naked)... I used to get 150miles on a full tank (without using the reserve) with fairing, and now I get 175miles...
