the D675 will get quite toasty about the right inner thigh area, the clutch cover that resides about our right inner calf will also get hot. I say high compression internal combustion engines and hot exhaust pipes swathed within a plastic jacket, whachagonnado? It's gonna get hot but the open area of the bike starts under just rear of the bodywork. It's not too bad thought so, its managable so long as you dont ride in shorts.

You ride a thruxton so wont miss the lack of distance and time 'comfort'. It's aggresive ergonomically but so is the thrux so it's not like you would miss much.

As you know the bike is light and as I discovered needs extrra distance and finesse when stopping in the wet, something I discovered during an unexpected downpour a few times last year. No big deal but for me I noticed that I had to pay close attention to what I was doing more so than I had to on my S3 or zx14 in the wet. Front and rear can lock easily and front needs extra distance to bite...or maybe a contributer to it are the tires (dragon supercorsa pro), a demon on the dry roadway but not suited for wet work.
