    Depends on the bike... while weight has a little to do with it, fairing design as well, and hitting that sweet speed spot while in the wind...

    Every bike is different, the firestorm (is a pretty lite bike for it size only 195kg) and I very rarely notice the wind, and usually only direct side blast... my XJ 650 was 240kg and I noticed it all the time... How ever on my cb250 again hardly noticed it...

    On trick is the side the wind is blowing you on, stick that knee out... it kinda acts like a sail counter balance...
