I have a 2022 Vstrom 650 and don;t suffer any buffeting issues that I can;t live with. 6'-3" and 220 pounds and the windshield is still in the same position Suzuki set it up in (middle position, I think). As a first bike owner, is it possible that you were expecting serenity while riding and now the minimal buffeting is a bother? (Not asking to insult, but rather to learn).
I will admit, when being passed by a tractor/trailer or other large vehicle there is sometimes considerable buffeting until they get much further ahead, but that's expected. I read one thread where a guy said he wanted windshield and helmet improvement because while riding just turning his head to the side felt like it was going to get ripped off his shoulders. Riding into the wind will do that to some degree, while riding with wind behind you is your serenity.
