The stock Wee screen would bounce my head around. I have no trouble with the stock Glee screen. For long trips or cold weather though, I like a big screen. When touring, a Madstad combo goes on along with a Russell seat. Around town in weather above 50F, I prefer stock.

Is that your big screen in the avatar photo?

Really? Source of that info? While we are looking for that dyno info, how about torque?

Thanks for the input Guys , over here in Australia the Glee is around 11000 bux all on roads included then you loose at least 2000 bux once you ride it out the door .
I am gonna do the brake upgrade on the wee and I have already ordered the headlight relay loom from Eastern Beaver and maybe go an aftermarket exhaust I suppose if I do the upgrade I can use the bits off the wee on the Glee and sell the wee with all the stock components on her.

I like the stock screen on the 2012, hated it on the earlier model.

I missed that before I saw it quoted. It's not a fact but an error. The Glee has slightly more horsepower and torque than the Wee. It also has a little better fuel economy but not enough to make up for the difference in tank size. Suzuki claims 10% better mileage but I get less than 5%.

Real-world bits of information like this are valuable to those of us with a low-mileage Wee, trying to decide whether to "upgrade" or not. Thanks.

I'm not noticing any mileage diff between the new and the old, but I don't track it closely. How far you go on a tank still depends almost entirely on your right wrist.

Yeah, nothing wrong with musical "glee clubs", I suppose, but that's the image - of a bunch of adolescent guys, all slicked-up, singing or trying to sing together - that enters my mind when I hear the word "glee".

When I hear "glee", I'm waiting on the next word : "club". Maybe the "glee" owners here make up a glee club - I don't know...

I'm not poking fun at those gifted in the music-making arena - in fact I really enjoy lots of different types of music. I'm just struggling with acceptance of associating that word with adventure-style motorcycles, and the type of guys and gals who ride them.
