I don't know much about physics and aerodynamics and all that jazz, so I'm just curious how effective are the windshields on motorcycles? Was kinda wondering if they're actually useful for redirecting the wind while riding, or if it's more for safety from debris that could get thrown up off the road?

ETA: Thanks for the replies, and for entertaining my curiosity!

Massive difference for airflow.

Ride a small bike without one at highway speeds (50mph+) and the airflow hits you right in the chest.
