I just bought my Hyperstrada Saturday, April 26th. By the time all the paperwork was done, the day was half over and the winds were getting pretty strong. >25 mph and gusting to 40+ mph.
I spent pretty much the rest of the day riding anyway and the bike and I handled the wind without too much effort. I had a passenger at first that complained of being very uncomfortable. I called someone to pick her up with my car. While she was on, I also wasn't very comfortable. My pants kept tightening up between the legs. After she was off, I was able to adjust more easily while riding to avoid that issue.
My only complaints about this model are the lack of a gear indicator (available here - Healtech GiPro Gear Indicator for Ducati) and that the seat is not as soft as I would like. I can't find a solution for the seat issue.
I want to warn anyone that doesn't have much riding exp. Be very careful with the throttle until you are used to the bike. I pulled my front tire up a few times without meaning to.
It is raining pretty much all week, but I can't wait to get out and ride some more as soon as the rain stops.
