When you're spreading out a map to plan a long ride, a range of 260 to 280 miles really matters. Riding through places with fewer gas stations than roadside stops, having 100 extra miles of cushion over the Ténéré is reassuring. A standard quick-shifter is exactly the kind of thing that makes you think about where to ride next.
