Title: First impression.
Post by: GTRpilot on June 12, 2014, 10:24:15 PM
Ok, first real long trip commuting to work and back, cheshire to Cumbria. 1 hour M6, 1hourish on the A roads. Screen doesn't quite go high enough for me, 6'1" ish. To get out of the wind I had to lean forward, even then still a lot of wind hitting the helmet.
Very easy to manoeuvre for its size, had a nice run behind a Ducati rider on the way home through some twisties, presume he thought he could burn off a big lardy tourer with panniers  :mfr_lol:
Stock seat seems comfy enough, and it's quick, quite torqy.
Yep only complaint would be the screen.

most are not happy with the stock screen, favourite upgrades tend to be the Calsci, or the MRA.

plenty of advice on here for that

Snap I had the same you feel the wind rise up your body as you adjust the screen as you say it clips the top of your head.
There are  a few on here who have fitted the larger touring screen .

If you're coming down to the meet you can try my calsci screen

Or take a look at my Laminar Lip attached to the screen, I am 6' 3" and it works for me.
