Smooth Op:
Fer shure on the fairing thing.....although I would have actually preferred the nekkid bike and then added on a Givi (or similar) fairing with somewhat more coverage than the stock bubble. Unfortunately we aren't offered the nekkid bike in Canada, Suzuzki's theory being, I suppose, that Canada is a "cold" country and needs the (minimal) protection offered by the faired model.
Or maybe they committed to too many fairings with the supplier and had to flog as many as they could. Maybe they're not offering the nekkid bike in Europe and the UK this year either ??? Anyone know ???
The seat sucks bigtime and I don't think it's going to get better, sooooo....... it's going to my upholstery gal on Monday for some softer foam and if that doesn't work, softer foam yet. I'll let everyone know the whole sordid story when it's all over.....
