Wind Buffeting

[silver dream machine]

Had my 1150GS delivered on friday(Bought from E-Bay) and it seems to be a dead easy bike to ride and it handles its weight well (unlike my triumph trophy 1200 which was the equivalent to riding a pot bellied pig)
The one thing i notice is wind affects it quite dramatically even to the point of my helmet feeling like it is being pushed off my head.
Is this normal and would a bigger screen, i.e a MRA screen be more effective.

P.S. Thanks to the member of this forum for not mentioning the severe corrosion or the knackered front tyre and brake pads in his E-Bay description

The MRA Vario screen is excellent, but lots of GSers use Tobinators to good effect with the standard screen.

Oh, and by the way, welcome aboard Sorry if your first impressions have been coloured a little

THanks

Thanks Long dog,it is one of those things Buyer Beware,yes i might try tobinators,New front tyre is on(Metzeler Tourance and new brake pads are fitted thanks to Micheldever tyres) Corrosion will be attacked with ACF 50 (Which i swear by) and thanks to this forum Hammerite smooth is being applied to fork legs etc.
Anyway cheers

So says the man who has yet to drop it on his drive.

No Way

I hope not to drop it on my drive, on the road maybe,it is however lighter than the Triumph.Scenario:- up to tight left turn junction,perfect stable no foot down stop,go to pull away,stall and over she goes ,directly opposite a petrol forecourt that was full of people, pick bike up quickly(not easy)and try to look macho
Needless to say Crashbars are on order.
But it is a lovely bike to ride and is not top heavy like my old bike.
