Suzuki V-Strom 800RE | Screen Swap / HJC V10 Thoughts / Naked vs Faired
I absolutely love my new (to me) @SuzukiBikesUK V-Strom 800 it is an awesome motorcycle, but the stock screen on the 800RE was awful for me, a person 5'6" tall, so I had to do something about it. The 800DE has a smaller screen, so I gave that a go.
Talking of things I love, my @hjchelmetseurope V10 helmet is up there as it is the most comfortable helmet I have ever owned, but the ventilation is terrible, do you have any suggestions for a helmet that fits the same as HJC lids?
I have always preferred naked motorbikes, although do appreciate a fairing/screen when on a longer ride or out in the rain, I wonder if any of you have either only ever ridden naked or only ridden faired bikes? Do you accept the noise from the factory spec, or do you change things to improve it for yourself?
