Yep, it can be crazy how what you'd buy or ride changes over the years.

Yep, the focus on two-up riding on so many bikes really seems to have disappeared in favour of styling.

I'm 5'11" and the screen is just a tad short. I'm sure one of those clip on deflectors would work. But I went with some $15.00 adjustable brackets from AliExpress. It turns the standard screen into an adjustable screen.

I am 176, and the stock screen is way too noisy at highway speeds. Just ordered a taller screen and side deflectors, as you get a lot of wind hitting your upper torso, not only helmet.

@@martythompson6509 Nice. Thanks for the tip.

@@rideinnl So, at 189 cms it would be useless! Even with a deflector. Appreciate your input. What did you end up ordering? I perhaps need to look at the Africa twin instead as even after 40 plus years of riding, they have predominantly been sports bikes and if I do go off-road it’s with a proper dirt bike.

@@marcusgeorge1825 Tyres... Tyres are fairly individual. Where and how you ride... As well as the feeling you prefer will normally determine tyre choice. Fwiw, I got 6000klms out of the OEM tyres. They were fine on tar and hardpack dirt. But they're a road tyre. I replaced them with Michelin Anakee Wilds. But I mostly do dirt. If I were riding more tar, I'd go with the Anakee adventure. But that's what I prefer. Your experience may vary.😁

Up near Port Macquarie now, so a bit of a sea change there compared to Sydney!

I'll pay more attention next time, I haven't had any issues so far but have mainly done longer rides, so not a lot of stand use yet.

Sport mode is a bit less smooth with more aggressive/instant throttle response. Standard is smoother in comparison. I felt like a little clutch feathering had Sport feeling very usable for general riding, but I'd stick to Standard for bad traffic.
