Ever since I rode a naked bike (Aprilia Tuono) even at speed, I became a firm believer in tiny / no windscreens for non-touring usage. There is simply no comparison. The air is smooth, quieter and there is no buffeting. Even at 80 mph you can hear music in the headset much better and there is no neck fatigue by the pressure differential between the torso and head as is the case with a larger but non-barn-door wiindscreen.
The downside of the tiny / no windscreen is in protection and also wind-induced fatigue, both of which overcome the benefits of smoother air flow when riding for periods longer than say an hour or two.
