Are motorcycle windshields effective?

For many riders, installing a motorcycle BMW F-750GS windshield is a worthwhile project. The size of the area, the shape, and the color used are closely related to the usual riding style, speed, and even the vehicle model, and are all worthy of careful consideration.

Windshield, mostly refers to the plexiglass used in front of the motorcycle to guide airflow and resist foreign objects. But its material and our common glass are two completely different materials.

From small scooters for daily travel, to sports cars, to rally cars, station wagons, and off-road vehicles, most motorcycles will be equipped with windshields, but for different models, the role of the windshield will also be There are slight differences.

Generally speaking, there are two types of windshields for motorcycles, one is the original factory and the other is the auxiliary factory. The motorcycles equipped with the original windshield in daily motorcycles are mainly ADV rally cars and GT touring cars. Such models are mainly positioned in long-distance vehicles. For motorcycle tours, considering the large wind resistance on the road, a windshield can effectively reduce riding fatigue.

In addition, the imitation racing model will also be equipped with the original windshield. During high-speed driving, the driver lies on the fuel tank. The windshield can guide the airflow from the person’s helmet and reduce the riding resistance.

In daily life, the vehicles without the original windshield are mainly street cars and some small-displacement scooter models. Since the positioning of these two vehicles is mainly for commuting on the street, few are dedicated to long-distance motorcycle travel. Of course, there are many now. Larger sports scooters are also being fitted with factory windshields.

Friends who ride motorcycles at high speed know that the wind resistance felt by the driver is obvious in the high-speed riding state, and even in the high-speed cruising state, the vehicle may even feel left and right swaying. The body is not only easy to cause driver fatigue, but also easy to give a feeling of unsafe operation without confidence.
