Was the reason I outed my TA, it just wasnt great at motorway cruising with the standard gearing . I fitted a 16t front and it was better but still didnt feel great if it was pushed up to 75mph on the speedo (71gps). It wasnt what I had expected from a V twin. On a Pyreneean mountain road a 650 BMW dakar was even hard to keep up with, I guessed the single cylinder had more punch out of a bend.
But then I guess i just prefer the way a single rides, in fact my XT660R was a better bike on the motorways
