Wind protection

[tofastgt]

I'm 5'7" and I'm getting ready to buy an 06 Busa. I was curious how the wind protection will be in the normal riding position. (Not hunkered down). It looks like the windscreen hits me high on my chest. I've heard that the wind will go over my head though, by the design of the bike. Also, how is the bike for riding 2up? Will my passenger get alot of wind blast? Thanks

5'7" you should be OK

I am 6'3" and I get hammered...

Invest in a Sport-Touring or Double-Bubble screen for better protection. I have heard that the double bubble increases buffeting though...

I'm 5'9" w/ a double bubble. Riding upright is cool for me but I'm BiG-T so the wind doesn't hammer me until 120+. My lady is 5'6" and she loves riding 2-up. I gather if your passenger is taller than you she/he will get hit by some wind.

I'm 6'0". With the double bubble the wind hits me high on the chest, my helmet is in clean air.

I am 6' and the stock windshield has the wind hitting me on my chest. Not good. I am also XXXtra wide so it does not help. Have a puig race screen on order.
