Naked Bike Question

So, recently been thinking of trading my hawk in for a naked bike, not sure why but the looks of them have grown on me. How bad is the wind issue on the highway/freeway? Thanks in advance.

Wind noise is much quieter because you don't have a windscreen which disturbs the air around your head. On the other hand you're going to be beaten up by wind, and if you have wussy hands you're going to hate it.
Also, you will notice the fact that it takes more power to accelerate at highway speeds.

Well...I guess that ends that. I don't live around freeways at the moment but, the possibility exists that I could move to a larger area with freeways. That's a no go. Back to trying to convince my better half to let me get a busa I guess.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
