I would be willing to bet that when I was younger, had I jumped onto a GSXR 1000, I would be dead by now. Full face helmet or not. Full gear or not.
You mean you think you know. As in, you're actually wrong. Head trauma is the leading cause of death on motorcycles. Protect your fucking head. I ride a cruiser, sometimes for hours at a time, and I rock a bigass bulky helmet that people call the "vader helmet" its so fucking big. And I have no idea what this 'buffetting' you speak of is because it never happens to me, and I can cruise comfortably at 50 or smack the throttle and weave around like a pesudo-sportbike...but I'm not exhausted after a long trip. You're doing something wrong.
