You realise the windscreen moves up and down...? You shouldn't need a larger screen. With the screen all the way up I was looking through the screen if my memory serves me right.

He also had a little extender attached to the top of his and I literally felt no wind - I started to get a bit too warm riding it haha

Twice as much range as mine

About 3 times what I get from the ZX6R Cookie!

Yes, I know that the screen moves. But it's flat and it is very narrow at the time so the wind comes around it. Plus with the screen all the way up the rain comes in underneath it.

Are you planning on a long journey on it over the summer? I'd love to hear how it is over distance.

Roger! I'll subscribe to that thread

I would seriously have a look at a lower screen as sometimes a larger one causes more turbulence. A nice carbon one is the latest de rigour amongst the fashionista I believe.




Size isn't everything apparently.

A carbon screen will look a bit out of place on a cheap versys.

No issues with handling with a top box full of court papers

Exactly what I found with the Multi. The taller screen caused serious buffeting and made it rather uncomfortable regardless of position. Put a small sport screen on and it's all gone.

But I don't commute is all weather like yourself so obviously we have different requirements.

Frame sliders fitted

They look good, they just blend into the bike.

Couldn't agree more with Nutz they look proper good

I'm averaging about 55mpg. I was getting about 46 from the SX.

I gave it a quick wash over the weekend. Because the last time I gave it a good clean this time it just needed spraying with soapy water then rinsing down.

if only bike cleaning was that easy all the time.

55 mpg is impressive. should pay you back a few quid over the year.

55mpg is good.

I'm getting 58 from the Audi currently, usually get just 52mpg so 46-55 will be a major difference

Last time I checked I was getting 24.21mpg, not bad for a 600!

My zx10r had an economy mode which I couldn't really see the point of
