2005 BMW R1200RT
…at low speeds, the Boxer engine's low center of gravity evidently playing a role.I rolled off out of town, angling the electrically adjustable windscreen higher to fully block the oncoming air. Soon I was on a sparsely traveled and somewhat curvy backroad, happily cruising along in comfort and grace…
2007 Suzuki GSX-R750 Comparison
…31.9-inch seat height and three-way adjustable rider footpegs, my 6-foot tall frame was immediately comfortable. The Gixxer also features a tall windscreen, which allows the rider to tuck in easily and be completely removed from the effects of wind blast at high speed.On the track, balance is the theme…
2003 Yamaha V-Star

2006 BMW K1200GT First Ride
…-fly-adjustable windscreen. An easy-to-reach toggle switch on the left handlebar allows for about a half foot of movement to yield the perfect amount of relief from the elements. The cruise control, dimmer switch, horn, left blinker and the all-important ESA all join the windscreen toggle on the left…
2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 Touring Ride
…of the problems that plague almost all new sportbikes is their short windscreens that aren?t effective at diverting wind up and over the rider.

2008 Kawasaki Versys First Ride
…feature on the Versys is the three-way adjustable windscreen. The screen was originally mounted in the middle position, which was a little on the low side for me. At a water stop, I pulled out the supplied tool kit and went to work moving the windscreen up 20mm to its highest setting. The adjustment was…
2002 Honda ST1300
…bit of comfort.The old ST, especially next to the new bike, has a tall, tippy feeling, mushy brakes, and heavy steering. Turbulence from the tall windscreen is quite noisy, and engine vibration is intrusive at higher rpm. Add in dated, slab-sided styling, a clunky gearbox and fairing sides that hit the…
