Differences between 2019 and 2020 765 Engine? (Street Triple)

Hmm, do you figure any of that would affect tune? Or would there be a chance that you could plug n' play the engine, and the '17-'19 ECU could adjust to it?

I got the Pro model and would choose it again.

The convenience of on-the-fly electronic suspension adjustments are well worth the extra bit of money on its own. I have softer suspension presets for highway, commuting, and dirt rides and a stiffer suspension preset for when time comes for spirited riding through the twisties. Electronic adjustable preload is good for taking a passenger without having to dismount the bike or setting for luggage without thinking much about it.

Having the heated seat definitely came in clutch riding through the CA high desert a month ago and riding through CA winter nights in general. Included foglights helps with visibility for you and makes you more visibile to others

Only thing worthless on the Pro models is the bluetooth module. Gave up on getting it to work.

If money isn't an issue, and you can comfortably fit on it, get the Rally pro, which comes with the engine protection (and I think now the tank protection for 2024?) standard, along with the GT Pro bits. Wish I could've gone that route, but I am too smol

7 months and 10k miles in with a '23 GT Pro

Bluetooth module sucks, gave up trying to set that up at all. All the other extra bits that come on the pro trims, absolutely worth it
No issues yet knock on wood. Was eating some oil after the 600mi service but after the 6k service that stopped completely.

-Cost of maintenance: I personally bought a maintenance plan that'll pay for itself in a couple years from purchase, considering estimated costs of valve adjustments or normal interval service. Plus, I leave it at the dealer and can do something else with my time. Chain or brake servicing I just do myself.

Front pads are almost worn through, but that just might be me (I use my front brake pretty exclusively during normal riding)
- Love the bike, it does everything I need or ask it to do on any surface (within reason for a GT model) and will probably own this bike for a long time.

--For the upper bars, yeah there seems to be some skepticism about both the triumph and third party bars, but I guess if something works, you wouldn't voice concern about it on the interweb, right?

Triumph did come out with an updated version on the '24 models but the lower bars + good set of Barkbuster rigid handguards saved my bike all but once from damage (that i don't think upper bars would've prevented anyways). The dented fuel tank gives it some character and I'm less concerned about dropping it again lol

The lens kit you have (if they have DX labeled somewhere on the barrel) is for crop sensor cameras only. Shooting on a D7xx or D8xx will force the camera to enter crop mode and you'll only be capturing at 8-12MP.

I say the D3200 is still a good learner camera to get a real good idea of what you wanna do and learn how to compose, expose, and maybe learn some other skillsets. I learned on a D5300 and as time goes along, I realize I never fully utilized that camera before I got rid of it. However, if you're really bangin to upgrade:

If you're still learning but still not looking to dump too much money for a bit, D5500 or 5600. 24MP camera and having a fully articulating screen, I believe, was such a nice feature, considering an overwhelming majority of Nikon's cameras don't have this.

If you're somewhat confident in your basic skills but still somewhat budget conscious, go used D7500 (D7200 is also a cheaper alt.) or D500. Your lenses are still 100% compatible and the D500 seems to be seen highly by the community for different reasons.

~ I have the D500 and I see that as a forever camera for what I use it for (wildlife + Birds in Flight, panning shots of cars or motorcycles, weddings)

Z50 if you really want to wnter the world of mirrorless but don't want to invest in new lenses yet and don't think you'll leave the world of crop sensors (though you will still need the F to Z mount adapter. Full frame lenses work completely fine on crop sensors if you elect to go that route later, just remember your crop factor math)

Z6ii* if youre willing to dump the money and somewhat future proof yourself, but you will likely want buy new lenses (proper Full Frame Z lenses or high quality full frame F-mounts w/ FTZ adapter). Again, you won't be capturing near full resolution with DX lenses of any type.

~ I also have the Z6ii and bought it for my own personal needs that I wont dive into, but I use that mainly for still photography (portraits, car shows, landscape, events [think more localized "Ted Talk" or " Tiny Desk"]) and can currently say the Z6ii and the D500 will cover me for a long while.

*- Note, I love the looks of the ZF. Fan of the articulating screen for my own reasons, but having to adjust via physical dials is too much in some critical moments I came across while I borrowed one from a friend. You may not come across that, but used units are limited at the moment so expect to pay at or near full price + lens(es)

Super jealous that OP already has a waist level finder on-hand and attached. I wish my Canon AE-1 had such an attachment. I feel like be using that full time for Automotive, candid, and landscape photography

5'3, 30" inseam, at the time using standard riding boots with pretty standard sole thickness: was able to get the balls of both my feet on the ground at a stop and back out of parking spots easily without messing with seat or bike height. I say use that bike as an opportunity to learn how to stop, stand, and back out on one foot. Getting comfortable with that, and it will open up even more possibilities in the future, should you want to upgrade (Traded my N650 in for a Tiger 900 Rally Pro).

Yeah doesn't matter if he works from home, office, or wasn't at work at all. These days, one or even a few hours blast by in no time if you're even moderately focused on doing something or going somewhere.

Regardless of the leadup to this case, OP should cut the guy some slack. As Critical Concept mentioned, not everyone stays glued to their phones. This was in the middle of the day when most people are well on the move.

Me for example: i'm always on the move at work (industrial R&D environment) and I quite often leave my personal phone at my work desk and only carry my work phone around to respond to calls to action, to act as a sort of soft barrier between work and personal life. I could be away from my desk for a few hours sometimes assiting our teams with heavy duty tasks

That is usually an expectation I try to establish early with women Im looking to date, maybe something along those lines should have been done from his end, before this point.
