    I wouldn't worry about the fairings, if you like the look go for it. For the amount of money your probably going to spend it's highly unlikely that you're gonna be riding around on a totally mint bike anyway. I dropped my ZXR while backing up into my parking spot beside the house, put my foot off the side of the path(onto wet sloping grass) and before i new it i had the bike on top of me, scratched up the fairings a bit.... . personally a couple of fairing scratches on a $3000 bike doesn't worry me (it doesn't affect the ride at all)

    If you have a major oops go the street fighter route....

    Interesting to hear people dont think a full fairing makes any difference.
    I went for a ride on a CBR250,like chalk and cheese,was much more pleasent at motorway speeds.
    As much as I love my nakeds its a faired bike for me next.
