Just sold my K bike thinking of buying new sprint

I was on this list a few years ago. I was asking questions about the
Trophy. Instead of buying a Trophy I bought another beemer, a K1100LT.
I just sold that bike back to the dealer. They were hoping I'd buy a
K1200LT, but I had my mind set on a sport tourer. I've seen the error
of my ways and was wondering about the new Sprint. I went to the
nearest dealer, 45 miles away who sells HD, Buells, and Triumphs. He
put me on a Buell which made me giggle and then put me on a new Sprint,
which made grin the whole time. The only complaint I have is the
windscreen. I'm 6'2", but have small legs, 31" inseam and a tall body.
I would have to have a taller windscreen. Does anyone make a taller
windscreen for the new Sprint? Also, I'd like anyone who owns a new
Sprint to tell me their likes and dislikes about their bike and how much
a tour. I usually ride 500-700 miles a day w/ a few over 1,000 miles in
a day when I'm out touring. Does anyone do this kind of riding on a
Sprint? What options do you have or recommend? Feel free to email me
privately and thanks in advance for your help.
