You're letting all the Kiwi's down.

Bloody Aussies..... Nothing more needs to be said really

common sense really.

Although, in practice while bikes generally weigh around 150kg give or take 30%, it's the force (as a result of the aerodynamics) that varies most between bikes - full fairings tend to act as sails etc

stop using rudimentary physics equations that you learnt in third form to justify points which are more complex than that.......it annoys me.

full fairings very rarely act like sails.

The reason faired bikes get blown around a little more is they have a larger cross sectional area on the side. Tis why those rubbish bin fairings in like the thirties got banned, dangerous in cross winds. Though I will admit that fairings do have a airfoil effect at various points in time, for most modern supersports the speeds and situations in which those effect become useful are only approachable on the track or doing some silly road riding, fairings allow a motorcycle to become more aerodynamic through the reduction of parasitic and induced drag caused by air flow past the bike, as well as reducing the frontal cross-sectional "wetted" area. Most mere mortal will get some wind protection out of fairings and thats about it...oh and they make ya look like you are going faster.

I feel sad, I understood all the technical terminology. Its like when your listening to physics jokes and you understand them and laugh

It's ok, I'll make a few jokes about Electrical Engineering so you can have a change from that feeling...
