Depends on the ride - where and how far. The TC is a far more comfortable ride ( seat, wind protection and suspension ). TC also handles better in corners - less rake and shorter wheelbase than the Pure.

The Pure is easier to negotiate for parking and U-turn ( approximately 100kg less ). Fortunate to have a choice.

You lucky, lucky bastard (Monty Phython quote)!!!
Not only 2 great looking machines, but 1 or 2 accessories fitted as well. So how long have you been single for now?

Singledom happens when l purchase a Roctane.
 
I found this for you!
The perfect colour and the only model & colour combination that I would have chosen over mine. Unfortunately my dealership didn’t have one available.
I’ll let him know that you are on the way.

I’m only at cylinder head covers, front engine cover, various bolts/screws powder coated black, exhaust valve flap deactivated, seat upholstered and recovered, BMW tyre valve caps, various black BMW badges to replace originals, Motoraad 16L bags, black Motone keyless fuel cap, OEM lockable fuel cap powder coated black, Bar end mirrors, Gremlin bell, custom engine plates, sports air filter, black handlebar clock otw, black aluminium radiator cover, custom upper fork covers, frame plugs, ‘Limited Edition’ plates otw, smaller number plates and plate cover, round Australian flag aluminium decal to replace rubber grommet on rear guard and front fork spindles.

Certainly not quite in your league, but that’s not too bad for 8 months of ownership.
If I had money to burn, I would have a custom tune after decatting the exhaust. Also, probably a bit more exotic looking seat cover (without going overboard) and getting it painted Dragon Fire Red.
