i've said this before...
i'm 6'4". i get a bit sore after 100-120 miles but then i run out of fuel anyway so I have to get off and stretch.
i've done 400 miles of motorway in a day before.
double bubble screen makes a world of difference if you are tall, whatever baz says. do it, the standard one is ridiculously low.

Im only short but still found the original screen on the low side, so I fitted a flip screen instead of DB one, works wonders! Havent found a problem with riding comfort, just the vibration through my wrists gets abit too much sometimes

i think you either love it or hate it but i do think on some bikes it looks odd like the R6 i think it sticks to far upward? or is that just me lookin from the wrong angle?

I'm 6ft 2" and after fitting the double bubble I find the ride really comfortable, much more so than my girlfriends new hornet which seems to be the wrong shape for me.
But I have ridden from Exeter to Stanstead then to Oxford then back to Exeter via the back roads all in one day, about 800 odd miles and I was absolutely fine.
I do find if I have a pillion on my hips hurt because of the weight pushing from behind.

I fear the butt and face may have swapped ends. But who knows?
