The pilot becomes a human spinnaker. The same thing applies, and more so, to feet forward cruisers.

As sportbikes go I'm just saying the little Ninja is very mild. Almost like a standard.

I fixed the photographs; you should be able to view them now.

I agree with everything you said, but if a bike offers adequate wind protection, I still prefer the upright riding position. The Verysys and CBR250R are good examples of bikes with upright seating positions which don't punish the rider at freeway speeds.
