Funnily enough the Phantom Blue model available in the EU has a painted nose and handguards.

I can assure you that niggle is most definitely a word To be fair the BMW S1000XR is indeed a much better motorcycle but to get it with the same extras as the GT you are looking at almost double the price in Europe (around +80%) so it really is not comparable to the GT. As @fddriver2 pointed out I think you need to look at similar priced machines for comparisons

That is my plan. Givi seems to give good all round protection My 2 cents on the various brands looking at designs are: [ul type=disc][*]SW-motech bars which are already available for the GT and believe they offer little to no protection for the lower parts of the bike. [*]Touratech bars are just f'ugly and have the same issue as SW-Motech[*]The Heed look good but not as clean as the Givi. They seem to be a mix of Givi and SW-Motech[*]Fehling offer good lower protection but nothing up top. I worry that in a slide the bike may flip onto the tank.[*]Unfortunately the American brands are just retardedly priced for those of us in the EU[/ul] @happyrider - Did Givi say when we are likely to see the Givi bars on the Market

In todays world or youtube, facebook, etc manufacturers don't need to rely on magazines to build up a hype. The reality is that in order for manufacturers to continue allowing journalists to gain access to their bikes they can't be too critical.

Part 2 will start with "I stand corrected; it was the windscreen and not the wind"

I think it is due to liability. Until they have had a version of the bike and tested it they won't market it as compatible which is the way it should be in all honesty.

Are you referring to SW-Motech, or Givi? I believe the Givi should protect the lower parts.

In all fairness the truck in the background has a trailer attached so I say it passes

I would have thought so but most manufacturers list products as not compatible. I believe it is also due to clearance for body panels which have changed in shape.

There is a guy on here who just installed the fehling bars. A lot of manufacturers are still producing them for the GT (I am waiting for the Givi ones personally)

What are your thought s on it? So the windscreen is significantly wider. I believe that this has the unexpected disadvantage of redirecting the air flow onto the hand guards which might be a bit of a disadvantage in very cold climates. In terms of height there is no difference in the air is still directed to the top of my helmet which creates a fair bit of turbulence noise. We also had some mild rain here yesterday and my visor was still getting hit by rain. I am 5ft 10. The only real advantage is that it is wide enough so if you duck down you can get under the full protection of the screen and doesn't look like a bath screen. This isn't possible with the standard screen.

To be honest that is the thing holding me back from purchasing one for myself. I had contacted Scorpion to see if they were planning on launching the model with different ring options but they said no.

www.helmetcity.co.uk list as early 2019 and already have heavily discounted helmets.

P.s. The GT-air is at end of life as the GT-air 2 has been launched so there should be large discounts available. If they haven't yet hit shops near you then waiting a little while should help you make a saving. In Europe there is already close to discounts of about 50% on certain models. Also, be careful not to mix colour schemes like the GT-Air wanderer 2 with the GT-air 2.

Just got my D2139S Givi sport screen which is significantly wider but only slightly taller than the stock screens (will try and get a better pic tonight: Comparison of both screens on top of each other New screen

I own the GT-air and previously had the xr1000. I found that helmet a much better build quality to the other Caberg and Shark i have owned. Pros are it is well built, light, very comfortable, comes with a double d clip and has an inbuilt sun visor. It also comes with an emergency release system which allows the helmet to be easily removed by medics. The cons are it is a little louder than other helmets and I don't rate the ventilation as great. Overall I love the helmet and have used it for touring where i am easily in the helmet for 8 hrs or more. As said above though, buy a helmet primarily for it's fit as opposed to cost P.s. My Shoei is ECE rated and comes with a double D clip. I believe thar depending on the country they can either come with a double d or a buckle

Everything @raggededge said plus if you if you have accessories on the helmet they can easily be stolen (bluetooth cradles, mounts, visors, etc). In rain it can also collect water.

I thought the cruise control does work in 3rd gear. will give this a try next time. I forgot that thumb wheel; that really does piss me off. It's about 2cm out of reach of my thumb so in order to use it on the go I have to release my grip on the accelerator and try and half arsed use both. The end result is usually a sudden acceleration due to whisky throttle. I agree it should have been on the left. As for the screen, my complaint with that is that it causes wind to hit the open part of my visor which causes a lot of wind noise in the helmet. Aside from that I actually like the shape and look.

As the happy owner of a GT with 2k on the clock I am very happy with my purchase over all, however, like with everything in life nothing is perfect: So what are your complaints with your GT? Mine are: [ul type=disc][*]I think the foot pegs are a little low and constantly scraping when doing some spirited riding[*]My old Suzuki and Honda had the brights flashing switch instead of the Driving mode switch on the GT which I found very useful;[*]I find the suspension does move around a lot in very spirited riding which can be a little unnerving (especially in quick directional changes);[*]Fuel guage is split in to 3 parts (Full, half, quarter). I can't fathom why they thought putting in a 3/4 mark would be too complex or expensive;[*]When riding 2 up I find myself getting pushed to the front of the seat which has an uncomfortable shape. I find the seat very comfortable when riding solo though;[*]The nooks and crannies of the bike seem to hold a ton of water so after washing the bike it requires a good ride to get rid of residual water;[*]The clutch case sticks out a long way meaning my boot ends up resting on it at times;[*]I find the side stand hard to reach when stopping (whilst wearing motorcycle boots) as my boot always hits the foot peg[/ul] So what are your complaints about the bike?

My Phantom Blue GT

I am using the Evotech performance rad guard, front and rear axle sliders. You can also look at rg-racing as they have the handlebar sliders. The Givi handlebars are still in production for the GT

This years blue and the black with blue wheels will remain. I too agree the grey with red cowl looks very mismatched.
