Default SV650N as winter commuter

Thinking of getting a second bike for commuting in the winter, and has set on a >2010 Versys but they're a bit pricey for a hack.

hand guards and heated grips wouldn't be a problem on the SV650N but is there a decent screen around to keep the wind off as my commute is 30 miles of motorway and I tend to use the bike all winter unless its too icy.

a decent screen - used a Givi screen on my naked curvy. Excellent at keeping climate and schuyt at bay.
Only problem was it encouraged silly speeds.
Correction - that was no problem.
Could be for sale at a VERY nominal fee.( cheaper, just, than Jetfire's bike! )
Whereabouts are you?
