Suzuki Bandit Screens.

[Phil C]

Just come back from a great back to back test ride on a Yamaha Fazer 6 and Suzuki Bandit 650. Liked both bikes but was surprised to find the Suzuki's extra low down torque and less jerky throttle response won the day (+ of course the little matter of it being a few hundred cheaper)

Now I just have to wait 10days for it to arrive and be registered......!!

One question - as I expect to do a reasonable amount of dual carriageway riding on my commute to work - can anyone recommend a higher / better (double bubble type) screen for this bike? I've gone for the 1/2 faired SA version as standard - it's OK up to 70'ish but above that my fat bonce seems to get a bit of buffeting....

Thanks in advance

One thing to bear in mind is that double-bubble screen don't reduce buffeting... they increase cruising speeds

ah - didn't know that - useful tip - thanks.

What I meant was that with a normal screen you'll tend to naturally cruise at a slightly slower speed than the speed at which riding becomes uncomfortable. Unless you've got self-control fitting a db screen will result in exactly the same thing happening. That is you'll be as comfortable as your were before but you'll be going faster. If you do have self-control then you'll be more comfortable. It was just a flippant remark, db screens are a worthwhile addition if you're doing any distance

I have a Bandit (see profile) and with a double bubble screen can cruise at 100 with no issues or buffeting.

ETA - mine is a Powerbronze screen.

Very helpful guys - thanks a lot. As I've been away from bikes for a few years(18) I'm starting to realise how much has changed and what a lot of great kit there is......
