Yeah, part of my "preference" between the models was the price - I got mine on ebay for $75 with no shipping costs incurred as I just had to drive to Madison to pick it up (and was going there for work, anyway). The windshield that came with the bike when I bought it was similar in size and coverage, but broke in my, um, "incident" (which also broke the headlight, dented the fuel tank, bent the left side footpeg, broke the lens on the back left tail light, and put some road scuffs in my jacket). Fortunately the lessons from my riding class kicked in and saved more damage to myself and the bike, and the most expensive fix was the windshield (though the dent is still in the tank).
Given that the truth of the "incident" was not fully disclosed to my wife (who is skeptical of me riding, anyhow), price was a big factor in downplaying what happened, and as the windshied fit my bike, was similar to what I had before, was barely used and was half the cost of a new one, it was an easy decision. Ironically, the source of the "incident" was gravel, which I saw was the subject of a separate post a few days ago.
