Mine would be confidence in corner grip/tires once I began to push it, still not where I want to be even after all this time and that's most likely a good thing or I would have likely highsided myself off a cliff somewhere around here.

being tall... standing on the pegs, even with the high bars I have... I'm still hunched over a little... which means the only way I can go higher is go to ATV bars... and longer cables...
also means I require more seat area to be comfortable... which pushes my luggage back. making the bike's steering feel heavier. larger boot means I've gotta really concentrate to get my foot under my shifter, or buy a MSR 1" longer shift pedal... gotta carry a larger tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, ect. most of mine are fixable with more $. |

 not the bike so much as my height. unless I went to a big GS like trips or the 990 KTM... but I'm honestly having more fun riding this than I did the ZZR or the RR. |

Being able to ride more miles per day in consecutive days. It was made official. We want to ride to sturgis, ride the entire time there (read: not sitting in some stupid bar) and back this year. Its almost 1100 miles each way, and hopefully do 300-500 miles each day would be nice.

c'mon man, I rode a K1200S to canada, a Busa to mexico, and an R1 to Key West, all from NC (500-700 mile days with ultra's and glides) and the RT from south florida home in the rain 883 miles in 12 hours. You should have NO PROBLEM doing 500 miles a day on that Harley  About the only things I have to overcome is "swamp-ass". I'm one of those ATGATT fools so I'm ALWAYS hot and sweating. Finally found some biker shorts that cure that, but it then adds to the OTHER issue I have, which is squishin my "junk" if I move wrong or sit the wrong way. The bike shorts compresses EVERYTHING, and well, when you squish stuff it tends to find the path of least resistance....and if you move your legs or stand up to promote circulation, you might get a surprise when you sit back down
