Ride safe, hope your wife is feeling better since I last talked to you, tell her to tell the doc to give her stronger meds if the ones they are giving her aren't working.
Take care, hope your wife heals up real quick !!

Hey Cara! Thank you sir! Wife says hi and thank ya for the well wishes sir! Ole NeedForSpeed took one look at Priscilla and said 'hey, where is ur little plastic thingy?', he was referring to what is apparently a plastic cosmetic piece that sits like between the windscreen and the gauge cluster backside. When looking at my bike, I don't have that little cosmetic plastic piece that covers the backside of the gauge cluster. Looks like this...
When I first took delivery of Priscilla that little piece wasn't there, so I didn't know I was missing it. :)) got it ordered already! Should be here in a day or two ! Thanks Need !

I say, Cblast, what's the Marc 1 like to live with on a daily basis, i.e. motorway speeds etc...I've tried a fair few screens, and most have pro's and con's, if your corner carving, then obviously lower profile screens do a decent job, but rip your head off over 100....

You do have a point Billy, the Marc 1 is a stunner for looks, and absolutely fantastic on a twisty road or a sunny day. Above 100mph, it needs a modest tuck, not severe, but also less rain or regular wind protection than the Corsa.
The Marc 1 doesn't provide great wind protection unless you do use a modest comfortable tuck. Nothing crazy but arms bent and comfortable. Here in Washington with rain if I was FORCED to choose only one for everyday use, it would be close, but probably the Corsa. The Marc 1 is really gorgeous. Get the bike out of the garage and walk around it and she is flawless. Ride her hard and simply use a modest tuck is what I do when I ride the Marc 1. For straight better wind protection or for very high speed stuff, the Corsa is an excellent choice. And looks great but in a different less hard edged kinda way. I like the v shape of the Corsa too. Awesome stable feel at high speed. I use the Corsa this time of year when it's rainy and the temps are low, but once it warms up a bit and stays above 60*f, I'll be runnin that Marc 1!

Really appreciate your honest opinion Cblast....in the UK we get a LOT of rain, and a fair few gales, so the need for protection (for me) is pretty high, more important than any high speed benefit, I use the Kawasaki/MRA flip, which gives decent protection, I've got the ZG DB, which just doesn't work on the 14 for some reason, brilliant on both the Busa's I've had in the past, surprisingly, the cheap chinese screen works really well, I just don't like black screens.
Looking at the Marc 1, the profile is very similar to the chinese screen, so thought it might be worth a go....
I can see the practicality of the Corsa, slightly raised 'bubble' I'm just not sold on the 'pointy' profile? It might look better in the flesh?
Thanks again for your time..

The Marc 1 hasn't been released officially to the UK yet, Zero Gravity want to get their full line up in place before they release the whole range, even the UK official importers didn't know anything about the Marc 1!!
However, after a few email exchanges with Glenn at ZG, and our UK importers, I probably have the first Marc 1 in the UK, delivered this morning, so will fit and try out Tomorrow just couldn't resist adding another one to my growing collection...
Appreciate the tip off Cblast....
