The tunes are great, can hear well running 80 mph. Though most of my riding is done on two lane back country roads around 60 mph. I ordered with the 6" shield, and replaced it with the 7" Long Range recurve shield. No wind or buffeting on me at any speed. Love it.
I got the Reckless XL with the 8" clear windsheild, 200 watt amp with the infinity marine radio, 4 polk speakers, and 12v accessory recepticle for $1300 bucks and I'm loving it. 70% of my riding is highway. It reduced my helmet buffeting to almost none the only time I get any buffeting is when I'm behind big rigs at highway speeds.

+1 on the ear buds! I keep my IPod inside vest pocket.

Rode through part of a mother of all storms for a few miles yesterday in Daytona. Getting pelted at 70 mph never felt so good!
Never wanted or needed a windshield, faring or anything other than glasses to ride, wouldn't have it any other way!
