This screen from Powerbronze is the best one I've found so far, I'll probably go for clear or light tint

A decent half-faired bike would surely attract a lot of people who want an allrounder.

The Suzuki 750s were usually said to be the best-balanced of the 600 / 750 / 1000 bikes.

I always preferred the GSXR750 to the 600 or 1000

LOL, the 600 is the worst, the engine is horrible, the 1000 is a handful.

On a lot of bikes, screens don't take long to swap, so having sport and touring options isn't a bad thing. :thumbup:
I have a taller touring Puig too,four bolts changes it over. Whether I'll ever bother my arse is another thing. :lol:

They're great for tootling about on, it just when you go for it the corners arrive bloody quickly and it's easy to run wide.

Suspension setup and decent tyres stop that.

Maybe you should ride it, it might not feel like it needs a screen :)

Spend the money on a blue anodised bolt kit instead.

I'm putting one on because it's pretty, not for wind protection, the exhaust will probably get changed as well, I may go full Bellwood on this bike.

I'm tempted to cover it in Yoshimura logos, but my experience of actual Yoshimura hardware is that it's expensive and no better than stuff that costs half the price
