I haven't ridden this one enough to fully know yet but my impression is it may be more twitchy in cross winds than earlier versions. Mainly I think due to the front being 5 or 6" further forward and greater overall length. That could get worse when I add the leg shields. I'll have to reduce the front somehow. Generally speaking though if I can keep the center of lateral pressure behind the vertical center of gravity the crosswinds are mitigated. It will naturally turn into the wind which counters the wind pressure.
