I have ridden regularly on I-5 in direct crosswinds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph on the C14 and other bikes with zero issues. I would say that the C14 handles fairly well in strong winds compared to other fairinged bikes.
I don't know what my limit is. I'd probably bag it if winds were over 50 mph.

SW OK is pretty much windy all the time. And like Mister Tee, over 50 would have to be a no go. Did 50mph winds once, and it felt like my helmet was going to pull my head off.......not fun.Oklahoma is Oklahoma - get the same as you up here in NE OK. If it's blowing hard enough to knock the bike off its center stand, then it stays in the garage. Rode home from work in constant 45 mph crosswind a few days ago - NOT fun and it was only 12 miles.
Hmmm... there's no option for "what forecast?". Weather in CO is so unpredictable I usually don't bother to check and wind gusts in the 30-40's happen all the time. I do not like to ride in a constant 40mph wind, but I have...
