Love this scooter - have had it for 4 months (M 400). One complaint though is that at higher speeds 70+ (we have standard cruising sppeds at 75) you start to feel the most subtle wind shifts fairly dramatically on the bike and if Im in dramatic areas (canyons) by 75 this puppy gets a bit white knucked and in open spaces I note this at about 80+. Theres one bend in our local highway where you turn west and walk into what feels like a wind tunnell for 1/4 mile and above 60 it gets scetchy.

Is this a function of the windshield, the scooter design or of scooters in general?

Even on moderately windy days and lower speeds its noticeable.

Otherwise love the bike.
