Thanks for the feedback.
I expected that the first review on this forum would be from Europe since the bikes have not made it here yet (I don't think). I expected the wind buffeting with the stock screen to be no better than the previous generation and you have confirmed that. I am surprised that you thought the gearbox was no better than the R1250, although I could tell that the quickshifter on all the 1300s was still "less than smooth". Aside from the looks, this bike appears to be an evolutionary rather than revolutionary change.
