I dont like the big ones that look like cop bikes but more so the ninja style or r1 style. Which one slips through the wind best. I do freeway driving and was wondering which sport/street bike is best at handling buffeting winds?
Thanks for responding you guys but more specifically what is a good sport bike that cuts through the wind the best. I know all bikes have wind issues but some are worse than others and some are better. For example a Katana is not really good at stopping winds. I know you can get like a Goldwing but those fat ugly bikes I don't like. Was curious what sport bike is best if you have ridden any over 70 mph on the freeway.

Answer
The best ones for cutting through the wind are the ZX-12, ZX-14, and Hyabusa. The bodywork on these bikes is designed for maximum top speed - which is basically a ratio of horsepower to wind resistance. The bulbous lines minimize turbulence.

It seems like every year, the latest sportbikes put the rider closer forward, with a shorter windshield. Pretty soon, we'll all be sitting on the front tire and wearing helmets with rear-view mirror stalks attached. Which one is the best? R1, CBR1000RR, Ninja ZX-10R, or GSXR-1000? They're all basically the same - pretty bad at wind protection. But they are all very nice vehicles with an awesome ability to compress space-time. Take your pick, then become a die hard fanboi for life. They're all that good.

Is it advisable to be riding a bike in a busy downtown area?

I've come to love biking, ever since I was on an exchange where I had to bike to work which took about an hour. And now, I'm back in the extremely busy streets of my hometown and want to commute to university by biking. It's just that there are so many cars here and I don't want to get injured. :( What should I do?

Answer
"What should I do?" Learn how to "control the lane" or as some say "take the lane" when needed to operate your bicycle safely. Class starts now. Multiple links with on-line articles & You Tube videos.
