For whatever it's worth, I could provide my feedback from on-road experience as I have yet to take the TKC80 to offroad environment.

I confirm what Molgan has said, the tires are a bit square, the drop from leaning the bike is quite dramatic, as if you would feel you would go under. However, after a few tens of km, they are great. In fact, I feel they have more grips onroad than the Tourance for some strange reasons, though the braking power seems to go down somewhat, so easy on the throttle IMHO.
