Honestly, with good gear, I think you can ride anything you want. I have ridden through Glacier National Monument with the same Jacket I use for Florida during the winter.
In regard to the Fairing acting like a sail, some bikes do catch air more than others but I have never had one pull me off the road (well one time in MO Tornado Cell nearby, I ditched the bike for cover). I have ridden large Fairing bikes without a problem really. Saddlebags on my Vulcan 1700 push harder than the giant windscreen in shearing winds.
I have not had the chance to ride this bike yet, but IMO I think you should be fine.
Thanks for the encouraging words. My purpose for buying a bike is primarily so that I'll have a highly fuel-frugal, two-wheel vehicle for transportation that will work (as much as possible) for a reasonably-comfortable, year around commute to and from work, and I want something that's built to last years with little bother, riding many miles each year, almost exclusively for this purpose. I put 7600 miles on my scooter in only ten months. I found it surprisingly comfortable enough to ride even in the winter when it wasn't too cold outside, and I put many more miles on it than I had envisioned even though I didn't use it hardly at all for recreation or for running around town.
When I purchased the scooter one year ago, I thought that maybe I'd ride it some on weekends, for running errands, and just for fun, and that I would also use it some for riding for my work commute. But what I've learned over the year is that I really like using it for the commute even more often than I thought, but that, since I'm always with my spouse when not riding to and from work, I don't use it for much else. Also, I've found, that if I try using it for running errands and the like, it's sort of an aggravation, because then I'm dealing with putting on and taking off all the gear and storing the gear at each stop. The gear makes the ride much more comfortable and safer, and when I ride to work and back, it's easy, because I just deal with the gear a couple of times, and I don't even have to store it on the bike.
I really like the idea of giving up the CVT on the scooter and going with something that I can put in a high gear and cruise to maximize fuel economy. The CVT also requires too much regular service, which I don't like. I also like the idea of the longer oil change intervals and tire tread wear intervals as compared to the scooter, and the higher top-end speed, and the ability to use regular gasoline. But I do worry a little, based on another thread, that if the bike treats my body like a sail, it may be a little exhausting riding along my 35 minute commute every day, whereas the scooter doesn't pull on me at all, and I also worry a little that it will be a little harder to stop the cold air from cutting through my layering, which is not an issue now with the scooter.
