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?
In addition to what the others above have said, this one is partly a naked bike thing. You are just going to get smacked by the wind a lot and it takes some time to adjust to it.I'm mostly a scooter rider (have owned a few bikes before) and recently got a chance to test ride a Triumph Speed 400 and Street Triple 765. Biggest thing I noticed was how much more wind I'm exposed to compared to my ADV 150 on the highway.
Also, not exactly on topic but related: do be careful when overtaking heavy vehicles at higher speeds as the turbulence they generate is significant for bikers. When combined with unusual winds, it can catch even experienced riders by surprise.
