This evening after sunset it was 33 F with a 5 mph wind. Sitting behind the TC screen with winglets closed, and seat/grip heat set to 3, I felt no discomfort or turbulence whip anywhere.

Gotta love the TC wind protection and of course that wrap-around Russell seat had the entire bottom side and upper leg cozy warm. After riding I would say this is the best cold weather bike I've had. It isn't easy to ride interstate highway at 75 mph in 33F and be comfortable.
 
It works well and it is narrow enough that you can stick your knees out and catch all the wind you want.
