And so it begins..... the start of all the questions ha ha ha
OMG, the wind noise on the motorway. Unless I sit uncomfortably bolt upright, the wind comes off the front screen straight into my helmet. It used to be into my chest on the FZS. It was so loud, and I already wear ear plugs.
I see a taller touring screen our double bubble seem to be the fix. I'm not fussed on a taller screen, it's already quite tall. So what are people's thoughts on fixing this?
Cheers

How tall are you? Interested because your experience is so different between the two models; I have only ridden the FZS and was shocked about how noisy it was compared with a naked bike. If the FZ6 has pushed the wind blast upards compared to the FZS is the FZ6 fairing the answer to my wind noise problem? Either I crouch behind the screen like a sixteen year old trying to get the last dregs out of a 50 or I have to elevate myself on the pegs which doesn't feel too smart or stable at motorway speeds.
I'm 5'9

I'm 5'7 and don't have an issue with it, although I have also cut an inch out of the saddle so I can get my foot down more easily.
My helmet is a Shoei XR-1100 which is a pretty quiet lid.

A double bubble screen or a touring Screen with a flipped up (curved up top) should sort out a lot of it.
Helmet is a Shoei GT Air 2 - had it about a year. I always wear plugs.
Will have a play and see how different body positioning affects it, see where the excessive wind noise is actually coming from, it was generally windy yesterday, too.
Certainly made a difference sat really really upright.
I'm too old to curl up behind the screen like a 16 year old on a 50cc ha ha ha
Powerbronze or Airblade double bubble pop up when googled. Or Puig touring screen.
