    As is regularly quoted. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Glad you like it but definitely not for me.
    In answer to the original question. I have a Rally Pro and it is three and a bit years old. It has just under 18000 miles on it now. It is pretty comfortable now I have a cool cover on it. I’ve not ridden very long days on it yet 550 miles being my longest day yet. I have ridden this distance a few times now though. I have toured Scotland three times, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and many, many day rides. So yeah it’s comfy enough.

    For day-long comfort and a step up from your Street Twin, check out the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster or Triumph Rocket 3. Both offer relaxed ergonomics, more power, and better touring capability while keeping that classic Triumph style. The Speedmaster is nimble yet comfy, while the Rocket 3 delivers big-cruiser vibes with insane torque. Test ride both to see which fits your riding style best. Cheers. The Mad Mongoose’s New Ride Awaits.

    @Mongoose:
    I did long distances on my former Tiger1200 (model 2020) and Bonneville T120 (model 2022) in the past. Both performed well. Nowadays I am using my Rocket 3 R also for long distances (up to 800 km/day). This is also possible without any issues. It is always only your personal decision which bike you use/take.;)

    A good website showing how a particular sized body fits certain motorcycles. Its getting a bit dated but could be usefull.
