Tenere is good but to make it great. Ecu remap courtesy of Geof at Hilltop mc Hinkley. Massive huge difference. Decat and aftermarket endcan, airbox mod ie lazer printed cheap bigger intake with snorkel removed and high flow air filter on airbox. Result fire breathing beastie. So much that you realise too low geared. Can easily pull away from standing start in second or third, so added one tooth on the front sprocket. Still feels too low so ditched two teeth on rear. Now cruises at 70 mph at 4.5 k revs and no loss in power. More mpg and power and goes like it should have from factory. So EU emissions bollocks removed and it uses less fuel has more go and surely doing 70 at 4.5k instead of 7k is putting out less emissions.

I test rode my mates triple RS and bought the Hornet. I found the RS incredibly uncomfortable, my wrists were killing me after only a couple of minutes. And the suspension was crashing horribly over the rougher roads. The Hornet on the other hand was lovely over the bumps and zero wrist pain. I had my hornet fully loaded sports pack, style pack and the SC exhaust. Put a tail tidy and bar end mirrors on it and now for me it’s perfect. I agree the RS has a great engine and looks nice but I couldn’t live with it being such a horrible riding position and hard suspension.

Love your enthusiasm for this bike. Would like your thoughts. Currently have a 2016 Bonnie T120 here in Pennsylvania. I like the Bonnie's low end torque for riding up/down and around the ridge lines that cover our state but am looking to replace with a sports tourer for the longer hauls. Would this bike also deliver the low end grunt needed on such hills and ridge climbs (paved/macadam roads of course)? Thanks for any insights.

How is the space around the biceps and upper arms for the XL size? I have relatively thick biceps and upper arms. In a review of the MK2 model, an owner commented that there was not much give in the arms and he couldn't recommend them for someone who regularly does weight training, which dissuaded me from buying at that time. Is the fabric under the arm made of stretch material? Do you think bigger-than-average arms can fit?

I haven’t ridden a bike in 33 years. I currently own a Triumph Tiger Sport 660, and it’s okay for an entry level bike. The third bike I rode when I started riding again was a used GSF850. It is a lovely bike indeed, and very comfortable to ride. I have a lot of spine and neck problems, and the 850 doesn’t cause me any discomfort in any way. After my neck surgery has healed, I’m going to look into purchasing a GS F850.
