You live in London, which my English friend tells me has weather just like Portland. In which case you're probably soggy while you were typing your post. Some kind of weather protection is pretty critical in the way of a windscreen you can get behind, whether it's aftermarket or not. That is if you plan to ride year 'round. I ride my Tuono in the rain, but not much. I ride my Concours and V-Strom daily in the rain.
