I'm 6'2" and for both your reasons,screen and knees I still have the older 955i Sprint. Not a massive difference in performance but with a touring screen it eliminates both problems,knees and buffeting,also the seat is more like a big armchair.Considering I am over 65 I still have no problems doing 500mile days.
Hope you find the Tiger more to your liking ,not quite so much top speed so on fast cruising uses about 2-3 litres more per fuel tank range than my old Sprint
Personally I like the 800 and have seen one with a proper screen fitted and the fella that had it reckoned it was pretty good at 80ish on the motorway for wind protection.
