How does the wind at speed play a part on the bike and how does it feel when semi's or big trucks pass by/windblast? Is the bike stable?
Thanks so much guys and gals,
Don
It is no worries. Monsters are great bikes. I bit more wind then a full fairing bike but as long as you are below 140km/h (I guess that is about 90mph) it is no worries. They are not much more sensitive then a full fairing bike for crosswinds or trucks.
