So I've just borrowed a new Rallye whilst my TC RT is in for warranty work...

After spending week on r1200r loan bike, which was a lot of fun (much more so than the s1000r) it struck me that there is something about the riding position of adventure bikes that makes their power units deceptively slow.

Real-world use? I f*cking loved the way a loan S1000R went up the Tonbridge bypass away from Coopers, but off onto the roads I like riding on, forget it.
 
I had one when my GSA was in for a service last Friday. Found the gear box was much smother and the gear shift pro was very smooth. (My gear shift pro then was replaced as it wasn't working properly :thumby:).

Found the bike was small compared to mine, but I have the bigger tank plus all the guards, seat was hard, but as the bike had only 629 miles I will let it off. Then hill start was different but something I would look in too as the mechanic said "it could be fitted" as it's software ??
 
Also had a Rallye today while my 2013 GS LC was in for warranty work. 6 miles on the clock, 150 when returned. Smoother amd loved the quick shifter but not a big step on from the earlier bike, particularly the suspension.

I agree, but I took the plunge in June, like the new bike, ‘slightly’ better but it’s hard to better a great bike, I don’t like my suspension, like a ship in a gale, run it on Road mode & enduro for suspension settings. I think it’s gonna have to go in to be looked at
 
Bloody hell. This thing is an absolute weapon, goes like stink, awesome brakes and suspension. How am I meant to go back to my RT now.

Cannot believe the different between the twin cam and the latest boxer engine.

Wait till you ride one that’s been “Hilltopped”!
 
So after riding it another 150 miles I've came to the conclusion that it almost has everything I liked about my f800gsa and none of the things I disliked (crazy high seat height, lack of oomph and vibes). However the screen is pretty pointless and the seat is a bit of a board. Assume these are easy to sort.

Like folks have said on here the quick shifter is silky smooth however I could definitely live without it. I find myself speeding quite a bit due to the ease of upshifting.

Overall a lovely bike to ride and looks great too.
