So, after looking at varied bikes - from Ducati Sport 1000's to Buell City9's, to Honda GB500's - I think I found one I could live with. It certainly helps that my dad has the same model so I can ride around all I want to get a feel for it. It seems as though he is pleased as can be with his W650, and I could build one as below for under $5k.

 

and the moral of the post was?

Fairings suck.

 

Just buy something already!

 

Not my cup of tea. But it's all about what you like.
