I have wondered about this. On the one hand, you lose the aerodynamic advantages and classic look, on the other, that Glorious twin beam frame, Magnificent engine, stylish dry clutch and sexy handmade SS expansion chambers and are on display for all to revel in and worship!

So six of one, half a dozen of the other. Personally, fully faired requires less cleaning because the muck has a harder time getting past the bodywork...
