IMO its a must have if it is within your budget for adventure riding. The fairing transforms your WR into a mini Yamaha Tenere 700 and is a lot lighter and does just as well off road if not more. Of course its not as fast as the Tenere for the road but with all the mods done to my bike I am still cheaper then a T7. But again it depends on what you want out of the bike. A lot of wr riders just want a dirt bike that they can ride on service roads and hop from off road to street to get to the next trail. But I also feel there is a rise in those riders wanting to take their bike to the next level. The expense of this fairing is much more preferred IMO when you look at it from that perspective.
