"playground" <--- perfect word. I need a bike that is fun at the playground and is comfortable on the way to and from.
I'm 6'1" and 230lbs (but working on becoming a more aerodynamic 220). I share VJL's windscreen experience, but my solution was buying a better (quieter, lighter, and more aerodynamic) helmet. I don't share his experience with speeds over 70mph, however, even with my old HJC lid. 80mph is not a problem for me on my naked CB1100. I can think of only three times when I wished I had a windscreen; twice in summer storms and once when it was 3f outside. Riders should add a windscreen if they feel that it will make them more comfortable, but they should know that there are at least a couple of us for whom the opposite is the case.
