New to the forum and about to pull the trigger on the CTX700. A few points…
1. I live in Chicago and spend a lot of time on Lakeshore drive in traffic so the ABS DCT version is the model I am interested in.
2. I LOVE the all black color scheme.
3. I was planning on getting the Fairing model (Which does not come in black)
How does the fairing model handle in high cross winds compared to the non?
Currently riding a 125cc Scooter and for the first time had significant cross winds and was blown around a bit. I grew up riding Hondas (Z50 and XR80's in another life). I was comfortable and handled the winds fine but it made me curious how different the Faring vs non-Fairing would handle. I do plan on longer rides and trips but my daily ride is essentially a commute.
Any insight would be helpful.
By the way I love the forum and all the dialogue has been very helpful.
