Very acutely aware this bike has no ABS, so I've been keeping below 120km/h but with average cruising speed of 100km/h.
Wanted to ask the experienced otais here, I feel like I'm struggling when I go fast (aka 110km/h and above). I find myself tensing up and the wind buffeting also doesn't help as I feel myself getting 'thrown back' the faster I go. Any pointers on how to deal with this on a naked bike? Seating postures, nerves, or just plain greenhorn rider on my part?

front suspension stability is important on road bikes, it affects braking traction also
that's after the tyres, of course
when you ride, how much of the surrounding do you feel?
the wind? the sound? you said wind buffeting... so I'm guess because you're feeling too much
the more you feel, the faster you think you are - my opinion, is that you are overwhelmed by it
for me, wearing full gear + earplugs, I can go fast with less fear than when I'm without
and ironically, without noisy exhaust, I feel more comfortable going faster than with it
some pointers I can tell you:
- find a comfortable fast speed, say maybe 100? check your body: are your shoulders down? elbows loose? hand gripping the handlebars tightly? or just firmly but not doing a deathgrip
- is your bodyweight supported by the core? or shoulder? see the link below, scroll down to the part about green and red arrows : https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-...ody-positioning
- or, just check by imagine you let go both your hands, are your upper body able to maintain the posture or not?
- kinda like T-rex, with the small arms dangling in front, just holding the handles but not supporting any weights
- adding to that, under hard braking, you want to maintain the green arrow, instead of the red arrow which will increase the possibility of crashing by losing the front
- google some "motogp hard braking" photos to know what I mean
riding a motorcycle requires practicing, and many of it is counter-intuitive to the survival instinct
