Triumph Tiger here The wind buffeting is VIOLENT at 70mph+ I'm at my wits end trying to find a way to reduce it I have a TOUR windscreen on order, and if that does not fix it, I am selling the bike 😢😢 Im only 5ft 11in I wish I had known about this horrible buffeting prior to purchase

@@kellanhills1972 I know what you’re saying and fair enough. Lately I’ve been running the bike with no windshield and I like being in the wind and the even airflow. The problem is I need the bike for some long distance trips and I’m 68 years old. At speeds above 65 the wind blast is too much strain for my neck. So I agree with you: at some point just buy a car! But I love my motorcycles and I’m trying to get this cruiser to serve as an occasional tourer without shelling out $30K to buy an example of the latter!

@@QuentinsMotoVlog just busting your chops man! I’m sure you can find a solution. It’s fun to experiment I know personally. Maybe look into a back rest and a more aerodynamic helmet then go without a windshield. The backrest would give you something firm against the wind and you like be amazed at how much a wind tunnel tested helmet can do expensive though. Enjoy the journey and testing things out. It’s most of the fun in our hobby. ☝️

I still love that bike. I sold it, but only because I had three motorcycles and I’m trying to economize a bit. The Svartpilen was a little bit “young” for me, if you know what I mean. I sold it to a lovely young woman in her twenties who was thrilled to get it. And I know she got a great bike. Engine, suspension, brakes, handling, all top notch. I kept my BMW R18 and my Royal Enfield Int650 because they are each too beautiful to sell.

New Subscriber. This is easily the best Svartpilen content on YT. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with this bike. This is going to be my starter bike... just need to decide between the 2023 vs 2024. I'm seeing the older version for as low as 4.5(k) - so I think I might spend the savings on an engine guard & a fuel cannister.

Hi there from Australia. Returning older rider and thinking about the Versys 300. You did a great deal there. Persistent reports say the seat is seriously hard and uncomfortable. How do you find it? I notice there is (what looks like) a fitted sheepskin cover on it. Did you add that? If so, did it help? And where do you get them? I hope you got that school zone ticket waived. Cheers.

Thanks, and yes, I fought that ticket with a lawyer who cost me as much as the ticket but at least it was wiped off my record. I did put a cushion on the seat and the sheepskin. The sheepskin is a quality item that comes from Alaska Leathers. I put them on all my bikes. The best cushion I’ve found is this one on Temu: share.temu.com/v6ypX6i2uAA Good luck with your riding and thanks again.
