I took a short trip on the freeway. It wasn't crowded. I started up the circular on ramp with a couple of HD riders. They took off at the light and were about 1/3 of the way up the ramp before I got there. However, as slow as I thought I was riding, I caught up to them 2/3 up the ramp and had to slow down.
On the freeway, the wind was a huge factor. I hit one dip that pop my butt off the seat and I got a small scare when a big gust of wind hit my chest.
The fairing on the 500R redirects the wind pretty good. My helmet, EXO400, is pretty quite, but I should get some ear plugs for long riders.
At high speeds, it's hard to turn my head. The wind want to push my head 180*.
