Good to hear, I was almost getting a FZ6R in case R3 was late, one more reason I am glad that I didn't. It is also a much heavier bike. I guess wind shield does it's job as at high speeds I lean forward and suffer less wind hitting my body.
Its a shame Yamaha does not making a lighter bike with the FZ6R's motor. I love that inline 4 smooth as anything out there and a great sound to it.Good to hear, I was almost getting a FZ6R in case R3 was late, one more reason I am glad that I didn't.

Exactly! Why does it have to be so heavy? At this point it looks quite useless between an R3 and R6. And you cant even put a slip-on on it.Its a shame Yamaha does not making a lighter bike with the FZ6R's motor. I love that inline 4 smooth as anything out there and a great sound to it.
After my first 115 miles since I bought it 3 days ago, I agree!My opinion is the stock windscreen is excellent.
I almost feel like its better on my r6, but even that isn't great. Im going to be getting a double bubble windscreen for that one soon.Its my first bike so I don't have much to compare it to but I don't think the wind protection is the best, not sure what its like on other sportbikes.
I had one on a FZ6R, it does protect a tiny bit better. The wind is more directed sideways than straight back at you. Noise from wind blast is lowered. Not a lot but enough to make it worth the money.Does the double bubble provide better wind protection on the R3 than the stock wind screen? Noticeable difference?
Maybe try the Zero Gravity Double Bubble OR Sport Touring screen?After getting more experience on the bike, I feel like wind is hitting my right in the shield on the helmet. If I have my shield cracked WI d flied perfectly into the helmet drying out my eyes.
I am wearing a bell rs-1. And am 6'2". I know if I were shorter I don't think I'd have a problem. I think I need a way to direct it more to chest, over head, or possibly to the sides.
