We all have different tastes, don't we? I took the standard screen off the HS as soon as I got the bike and replaced it with a minimalistic CF version because I hate the turbulence that comes off most OEM screens, especially upright ADV-type ones. This may limit how long I could ride at higher speeds without strain, but a quiet airflow over my helmet is an absolute priority. I've gone to the extent of designing and making my own smooth-airflow screens on three bikes to give a little more protection without noise, but I don't see the HS as my main long-distance machine. The ST4 with it's unique screen mounted on Ducati's Comfort upper fairing is the one for that. The nice thing about the HS which lifts it above plenty of bikes I've had is that it is an exciting but stress-free ride without inbuilt limits.
