A follow up to the above after a bit more riding:
Unsurprisingly, because of the re-map, you do take a bit of a hit on fuel economy.
Whilst ordinary motorway riding appears to still give me around 170 - 175 miles (full tank to reserve), if I'm riding for fun through the twisties and thus mostly using the middle gears and higher revs, I estimate that I'm now only getting 130 miles (again full tank to reserve) instead of the 150 or so I was getting previously.
It's not that much of a hassle, just something I need to take into account when planning longer rides, but it's a factor which needs to be considered none the less.
Frankly, though, it's a small price to pay for a bike that handles even better than it did before
