Correct answer

  • Ala conducción será más cómoda y segura si la motocicleta dispone de carenado.riding will be more comfortable and safer if the motorcycle has a fairing.
Explanation

The fairing protects the rider from wind, cold and rain, so in bad weather it makes riding more comfortable and reduces fatigue, which also improves safety. In the rain the stopping distance increases, and alcohol never helps to fight the cold.
