I bought my '15 TE just before Xmas and have been riding in and out of Central London on a 45 mile journey for 3-4 days a week since then.
The last 20 minutes of my journey is relatively quick country roads with little street lighting and some nice twists and turns.
Unfortunately I'm finding the lights simply aren't good enough for fast riding on these roads. In fact I'd go as far to say that the dipped beam is dangerous at anything over 40-50 mph on a twisty road. These are roads I know well having lived here for over 10 years.
My old '06 K1200GT had far better throw of illumination and I never had any problems riding quickly and safely on these roads.
Is this a common problem or do I need to get my lights checked?
I've been thinking of adding some spotlights to try and help but obviously that isn't a cheap option (minimum £250 from what I've found so far?).
