Nice, some good mods there.

Might consider the Ohlins once my break in period is done.

The Akra or similar is a must have on this bike.

I am entering from north of course, staying in Wigry, next day moving south and staying in Wroclaw before entering Check.
Sopot is really nice place and i will be there in the end of July with my family (but driving the 4-wheeler then).
Cheers and thanks for offer, i will use it next time ;)

I'm going to visit my family in Switzerland in July, and I'm planning the trip right now. How many km per day, do you think we can make per day (comfortably without rush)?

600 should be easy during 9 hours. of course mountain passes are another story :)
starting 9 am means i can reach my daily destination around 18 and leaves me some time to see the city, grab a beer or 2 and be frsh to leave next morning.
but in Alps I plan only 300 km days as i intend to enjoy the views and mountains.

MT-10. Please tell us how you get on with it.
Well, 1200km behind sow so almost breaked in.
10 is higher so i am not feet 100% down at stop with my city shoes but with touring boots feet are on the ground.
10 is heavier so cant push it uphill as i did with 07.
10 is thirsty, No, it is THIRSTY! 32-36 mpg without revving it

But otherwise it is BRILLIANT. Much more easier to handle it when it is moving, suspension is working SO GOOD.
Throttle is marvelous, Very sensitive but easy to doze.
Seat and seating position so much better than 07.
All materials feel more expensive.

And that clutch and gearbox... working like silk.

Then comes the engine... which cries that rev me please :D
On 07 I didnt feel comfortable over 130 kmh on backroads, for 10 160 kmh is nothing.

Well, 07 I miss for filtering in city, i am not confident with 10 to do that (yet?), it is a bit wider.
But for weekends, europe trips 10 is so much better.
