Most cars allow one to roll down windows. Seems like a decent compromise.

How many cars do you see with windows rolled down? I could count on one hand the cars I see on a perfect 68 sunny day low humidity in one week. Its to noisy can't hear radio or phone. Old beaters with no air is when you see a widow down.

Why are we shouting at clouds today?

Oh, people enjoying Can Am Spyders and rolling down windows in cars.

Harleys are so overrated. Awesome history but much better options today.

I would like to ride one of these as well.
You see them in Europe especially in the Tour De France front vehicle and chase vehicles.

Drove one and was unimpressed. Kind of like driving a car without windows.

Grab a real bike dude.

I've been tri-curious myself at times. I've done two 4000+ mile trips on my motorcycle, and while there is nothing like that experience, there were times where I wish I didn't have to balance the whole time. Getting stuck in traffic in Yellowstone park comes to mind, as does trying to park on steep graded hills.

I almost laid my bike over on Needles highway because I was on a hairpin turn and some jackhole decided to stop and look at something mid-turn. The pavement was banked in a way that I couldn't drop my left foot down far enough to touch anything before the bike would have tumbled over. Luckily I was able to go past him just far enough on the right shoulder to regain balance and get my other foot down.

They also look much more comfortable than my Multistrada, and I ain't gettin' any younger.
