I've had the +5 Rifle for 6 weeks and I like it. I do have a few observations:

1) I seldom run it all the way up.

2) I run it all the way down more than any shield I've every had.

3) It is pretty quiet, but there is more wind on my face because of the angle optimizer. I close my face shield quite a bit because of that wind. I almost always rode with an open shield with the others I've tried.

4)I don't care for the way the way the inside looks after the W is mounted.

5) More air comes around the sides of the Rifle.

6) I like the way it looks way better than the V Stream.

7) I hit my head on it a lot today when I did a TBS (I didn't seem to learn through the procedure that I needed to give the Rifle more respect :rolleyes: )

8) I stay drier when it rains.

9) I can ride with the seat in the higher position (my knees like that), I couldn't do that with the V Stream.

How tall are you? I have the V-Stream but want to look at the Rifle +5. I'm 6'3" and pretty tall in the upper body.

 
I'm 5'11" and my inseam is 30". I do have a aftermarket triple tree with risers, so I sit fairly upright.
