Default New scoot

Picked up the new SG today after waiting 3 weeks for the dealer to prep it. And wouldnt you know it the rain started after being on the road for 5 min, just my luck. Holy fawk, i see what everyone was talking about with the buffeting, felt like my eyes were gonna rattle loose. First thing i did when i got home was ordered the 6" LRS Ultra, fairing wind deflectors, and fork baffle. I sure hope it does the trick, because i love everything else about the bike (except for the color but i hope that i learn to like it).

Congrats on the new scoot. Your purchases should take care of a lot of the buffeting but not all. I kind of like a lil wind in my face.....

Wasnt able to get pics since it was raining. Will try to get some today if the weather is nice. It is the psychadelic purple. Maybe it will grow on me, maybe it will get painted. Didnt have a choice on the color, it was the last new 2011 available in Europe, the price was right and i didnt want to wait several months for a 2012 to be shipped.
