I wanted to know what an R1 rides like without the fairing, so I removed it and went for a ride..

It looks a bit strange with the original headlights, mirrors and cooling-fluid reservoir, but well, who cares;).

It rides quite nice without the fairing. The weightloss at the front seems to improve the reaction to countersteering. And while there's no fairing to get some wind out of the way, it's not that much inviting to ride very high speeds (which could save some speed-tax).
