How do naked bikes do on highway?

Personally, I don't like the wind beating me in the chest.
The tiny windscreens don't do much, unless you're a tiny person , curled up like a monkey, hanging on for dear life.
 
For me, riding a naked FZ6 (the way I bought it) it is an issue and I am looking at options of a taller windscreen.
Might consider the one that @killvino pointed out.

I added a Puig "touring" windscreen for now, but did not do much. Or at least not enough for me to be satisfied. Perhaps I am being too picky.

Right now, this is the bike I have and as much as I would like to get a different with taller windshield, that is not a feasible option.

I suppose the only way to find out for yourself is to try out a bike with a similar set up and judge it for yourself.

As others have stated here, the opinions are varied. Some find it an issue and some don't.
 
You can always lean down against the tank to reduce drag. If you commute regularly at 130k + on a naked bike you will grow neck muscle to compensate. It's almost been 8 years on naked bikes for me, i'll never go back to a supersport/superbike for a daily bike. Aftermarket windscreens always caused more problems than benefits for me, constantly plagued with wind buffering. I have a small chin shield on my bike which makes the bike look better, and offers marginal wind reduction.
 
lol na, your neck just gets worse and worse the older you get, just overdose on ibuprofen at the start of each ride day (y)
If I lay on the tank, some cop would see that and give me a ticket for street racing :LOL:
