Why is there so much unused space on the TFT display? It looks like there's at least an inch of margin around it that could be used to make things more readable for these aging eyes.Comment

A new frame and engine but it still looks the same. I'd like a lower narrower bike, narrower bars, more lean to the bars, more sport-touring style, less Adventure bike. And a shaft drive. But then I'm AB normal so ......
Cycle World has a lot of info on the new XR as well.

Nah, doesn't ring my bell. For that frame (and the GS/A as well), they need to stop trying to make it something that it isn't. Kind of like a 200hp naked bike is not really interesting to me either. Now give me another K bike with 200hp, drop some weight, add all the new electronic gizmos and then I will become interested again! Until then I am set with the exception of a true sportbike (RSV4 is still one of my not so secret desires).

I'm surprised the new engine has the same HP and torque as the 2019.
I did not see shift cam mentioned in the press release.
Does it have ride by wire?
Edit: I see Tim's article said it has shift cam.
Edit #2 MCN said it does not have Shift Cam

Ya, not a worthwhile upgrade for my 2018 XR.
That said, I covet that TFT display.

The new V4 Ducati street fighter is represented as over 200 hp. I'm with Joe on this one. If I wanted to ride around over 11,000 rpm I'd probably still be riding an S1000RR. The only bike that might get me off my Super Duke would be a new Monster with more torque and lighter weight.Comment
