Good luck nice piece kit for Guarage. David

I love my Skylift. Such a handy gadget but definitely hard to move around when not assembled. That storage thing looks neat. It looks like yours has a couple of additions. The pressure release on mine is a pretty awkward tap that you need a tool to turn. I also use a wheel chock. It added £40 to the cost but saves on a lot of risk!

Does your service light come on after oil change and if so how are you resetting it? With OBD unit or engine start stop cycle? (i think i read 12 times to reset the service light) Cheers n happy new year!!

Cycling shorts look pretty much like these

Great vídeo my friend. Great way to learn How to do it. Many Thanks and happy new year

i think only a new triumph 1200 sport is the answer which i am sure triumph must be considering . especially if it looks like the new 800 sport. another up north biker here in Carlisle. i must admit i am seriously considering the new 800 sport myself and i have always had 1000cc bikes. i think bike prices are going to change dramatically with what Honda have done with the new CB1000 SP hornet and the Chinese bikes coming over. people just don't have 14 -20k for what is a hobby. all the tech has made them stupidly expensive

20thview 😂

What make tools did you get at 18? I had a Hilka metric socket set myself intact except the ratchet and the infamous 10mm

If you have somewhere warm and dry to work on it then it sounds like a plan, getting wet and cold on my driveway is not fun.

Thanks for the video. I have these fitted to a thruxton i bought. If i want to take the pannier frame off, do i need the nice orginal bolt with the hex head, or can i use that ugly bolt that comes with the kit? Are they different length bolts or something? Tia n merry xmas!!

I know this is from about 2 years ago, but so expensive for what it does, I could do the same for about a fiver

I'm with you on this, I just can't find anything as special as my 1050. I've looked at the same bikes as you...and come to the same conclusion...stick with the tigger😊

So they work great

I still have my 2013 Tiger which I love as a sports tourer. I was set on getting the a Tiger 900 but ended up buying a Husqvarana Norden 901 Expedition. Price was amazing as they produced too many. It’s a tall bike but you don’t feel the weight as it so low. It handles vey well on the road and off road too on stock tyres on gravel. Once you hid the deep mud, you need to change the stock tires though which I will do.

I av a tiger 800 2013 love it but getting Heavy to move abt for me now but on the road she’s great 🤷🏻👍 Ride Safe 🫡👍

I thought it was Jeremy Clarkson in the picture. Oh well off to Spec Savers for me then.

I've just bought a 1050 Tiger Sport (2016 with 5.5k miles, yes 5.5k) in Silver like yours. I had BM's before - K1300GT (stonking bike which I miss), an R1250RT - didn't like the engine on it so I sold it. Much preferred the smoothness of the K13. Both these were circa 280-290kgs so to me I consider the Tiger Sport to be a much lighter bike. Hoping the Tiger is smooth too...

I replaced my 2018 Tiger Sport 1050 with a BMW S1000 XR. Loved the Tiger, however i wanted more.

Not many 'road' focused bikes nowadays, its all adventure. I ride a tracer 9GT and think its a fabulous bike for the price

I had from new a 09 Street Triple but 2 years ago decided I was too old to ride it all day. Before the ST I liked the look of the stripy Tiger. Well I bought a 04 955i in orange with topbox & panniers. I love it. Touring & day rides, Cost me under 3k euros and cheaper insurance, no worries.

Same as comments below. I have had a 2015 TS from new and although I've tried a few test rides of other bikes nothing else comes near. The weight will be the ultimate reason for the bike to go when that time comes and, like you, it will be for a lower CC machine. And the price of new bikes..............forget it!!

I own 09 tiger 1050. Heavy bike 55k on the clock. The tiger 80p looked nice choice out your options

Im keeping my 17 Tiger Sport. At 100k it runs better than new, the valves have never needed adjustment and the throttle bodies stay in sync. Service it myself mostly. New quality suspension at 40k and scorpion pipe more recently. Screen was sorted by added Puig deflector to stock screen ans 20mm spacers top and 5mm bottom. Much better

I have a 2008 tiger 1050 with 51000 on it and still going strong.. my every day commuter good all around bike I love it

I find it hard to justify getting rid of my 2020 TS. It is a bit heavy, yes but...this new Suzuki GXRSXRSGXXS weights exactly the same. Okay it has electronic suspension, and a nice dashboard. The Versys is even heavier than the TS (by far). We all know that every rider suffers the same disease sooner or later: to buy a new bike, just because it is new, just because it is goodfun. The TS makes it difficult to play. Actually, I hate this bike for that! Hahahah. Greetings from Puerto Rico

Why does everyone, metaphorically speaking, walk past the Suzuki 800de, my tiger was replaced with one and in fifty years of riding it has turned out to one of the best all round motorbikes I've ever owned. My T120 does the Sunday , cafe ,day run stuff, and I love it.

I still have my 2016 Triumph Tiger Sport 1050. I love that bike and have it set up suspensionwise way more sport. I recently bought myself a first gen 2018 BMW S1000XR in HP trim , all options included . Now that is a wild 165hp thing. A liter sportsbike engine and frame ,tucked away in a adventure tourer. Sadly from the first day I had some electronic troubles....BMW , I guess. All seems well now, but I am just keeping the Tiger a litter longer, just to be sure. But that S1000XR is addictive. The Tiger has been super reliable though and a beauty in its matt black trim with neon striping

I bought my 1050 Tiger sport in 2013 and sold it this year absolutely an amazing bike but just got too heavy for me now , I'm only 5,6 so choice is a bit limited but I found a bike was never expecting to like the Honda 750X DCT , with it's low seat height and low down weight it's definitely given me more confidence in manoeuvring at low speed and pushing it , ok it's only 58bhp but it got plenty of torque and the acceleration is great no problems overtaking and it's so easy to ride , definitely worth a test ride 👍🏼

I have a 2016 Tiger Sport. It has its drawbacks. Especially because I am short and the bike is quite heavy. But it’s so good all around. Really hard to replace if you want to save some money. So I might probably go for a naked Suzuki next year. A whole different direction…

I'm keeping my 2014 Tiger. I did have a look around this year as eventually it will be too heavy for me. Tested a Transalp, which was nice, but you had to wring the power out of it. Prices are so crazy currently I couldn't change even if I wanted to!

I have the same Bike and this Bike suits me quit well. Its all what i need to be comefortable and safe on the road. Thats me. What about the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 or even the new Tiger Sport 800?

I was at the show looking also I swapped from the 660 sport to the 1050 6 months ago and really love it so after looking at the new tiger and seeing that it was basically a bigger engine put in the same frame was really disappointed so came home thinking the 1050 will be with me for atleast next year unless triumph brings us a proper 1050 replacement

Same place got the honda st1100 not sure about Chinese bikes like to know longevity of theese

have you ever thought of the honda nc750 dct,new up graded one coming in 25 so current one will discounted newish.

I’m looking at changing my Tiger but the prices are Cuckoo and totally nuts

My daughter is 26 and started riding on her 20th with a 125 . She did this for 2 years , she then at 22 sat her A2 licence and is currently riding a honda cbr 500rr. Now the sticking point for her is having to pay the cost of sitting her test again to get her full license, surely after riding so many years this should be automatically changed to a full license . Just another money making scam which is putting many young people off. Crazy laws

Had a Shuberth a few years ago, I did the same, took it out to clean it, and it was totally useless afterwards, it never worked again……

Just been to dentist on mine got piss wet cold and had to take two chains with me

I think that the testing regime hit the sweet spot of common sense training and testing when new riders aged 17 and over had to undergo CBT before riding a 125cc on the road unaccompanied and then take a theory and practical test to gain an unrestricted full motorcycle licence. That would have been back in 1990 if I recall correctly. Some people might argue that the leap from a 125cc machine to much larger and more powerful bikes was too great but I would disagree. For one thing, most young riders couldn't go straight out and buy a litre plus bike due to prohibitive insurance costs, so there was usually a cushion and a semi forced level of sensible progression onto the really big and powerful stuff. It is undoubtedly true that "Generation Z" are not made of very stern stuff to begin with and are afraid of their own shadows a lot of the time but that has been the fault of the system to a large degree. The notion that "motorcycles are dangerous" dissuades a good percentage but modern technology also ensures that they spend more of their lives living in a virtual world than they do the real one - what passes for interaction with other human beings for them is ever more frequently done via screens, so even the social aspects of a hobby or interest don't hold as much sway as they did in years gone by. The testing regime is most definitely a powerful dissuader and let's be honest here, it was designed to be. The establishment has always had a dim view of motorcycles and obviously a lust for control. Government overreach, if permitted to go unchecked will flourish - as the condition of our nation proves only too well. It seems obvious to me that the ridiculously protracted and costly modern licensing laws were a very deliberate attempt to dissuade people from riding motorcycles and squash its appeal entirely. Apparently, it has gone some considerable way to doing so. There will always be exceptions of course, but most youngsters, even if they start out on two wheels at age 16/17 will reject the challenges and costs associated with motorcycles and opt to try and get a car licence which presents far less obstacles to be overcome. For people who have never known anything different from the "participation trophy" mentality, there is bound to be far less interest or desire in the sense of accomplishment that comes from earning the reward for effort, perseverance and work. Anything that does not come in the form of instant gratification soon loses its lustre for a great many people nowadays. Add to that the ever increasing costs of buying and running a motorcycle, certainly larger ones, and it all begins to become less appealing to a modern young customer base. The notions that we may all have held and still hold, regarding the excitement, freedom and joy that motorcycling can and does provide, just does not hold the same sway in the minds of the modern audience and is therefore no longer of such significance. It's all rather sad, certainly from our perspective but we've had our time - personally I'm glad I had mine the way it was but the past means nothing to the youth any more, indeed, they are encouraged to believe that everything and anything that happened before they were born either didn't happen or was just "bad" and best ignored or vilified. I'm pleased to say that my son who has just turned 16 is keen to begin his two wheeled journey - he has had an introductory lesson with a local training outfit and will be heading off in March to take his CBT - in the meantime he will be spending time with me as a pillion to get a feel for the biking life. At 17, after further training on a school 125 he will hopefully be taking his theory and practical test and ditching the Leper plates so that his own first bike which I will purchase for him, will not have to sport them for too long. As an instructor of several decades myself, at both beginner and advanced level, I will also be keeping a watchful eye on him whilst we enjoy some father and son time riding together. Will it stick? Only time will tell and the decision will be entirely his. I'm happy to both encourage and fund it whether the bug bites or whether it doesn't and I'm glad he wants to try and to experience new things before rejecting them out of hand, just as we have always encouraged him to do.

New licence holders are being insured off the roads.

Errrr yeah test is to long, to complicated, a lot of it not relevant to everyday riding, and bloody expensive, youngsters need “pretty well” instant gratification, and have anyway lost the need to do for themselves, and to take risks, and definitely don’t want to be uncomfortable, Bikes are to expensive, and anything aspirational Ducati, MV, some BMW’s etc etc are completely off the scale, it’s stacked against them the motorcycle industry is coughing up blood as its target market or if you like the older person with disposable income are getting older and less inclined to ride, outlook is pretty pants really glad I’m a biker from the early 70s and still riding today it has been the best of times, ….

You Brits used to be stinking rich when you benefited from being in the EU. You could afford two cars and some bikes. After Brexit you are not stinking rich anymore. You still enjoy the aftermath after Brexit and can afford a car or two but not luxury bikes. In a while you will be poor and will need to sell your car and get a bike again. Don't worry! It will be fine. Bike dealers will come back and car dealers will close. Japanese and Chinese bikes don't leak oil on your tiles as your stinking British bikes did on our tiles in the sixties. You are lucky!

Motul 5100 is not completely recommended for this Tiger....better use a fully synth 7100 Motul Oil...for a few more pennies.....

Try a spud....chopped in half ?

At 47 my wife did a CBT passed her test on a 125cc then was restricted to 33bhp for two years. After that she could ride anything. ...I passed my test on a 250cc twice round the block even wore my helmet !!!!!( Not compulsory). Then could ride anything..but that was in 1968.

Love the Helmsley Stokesley road. It was quite hairy the other day in the wet and covered in pine needles. That bit past Chop Gate is really pretty. I spent a few hours with Mrs C walking the hills there looking for some standing stones in 40C heat not too long back. She wasn't happy when we got home after not finding them and realised they were just near the car park in the country park.

The testing system is abit of a nightmare in my opinion.i passed my test in 1995,im 46 now and my 9 year old daughter and 8 year old son both come out on the back of my tiger 900.they both want to ride bikes,and i just bought a zx6r that needs doing up for 300quid. Theres cheap bikes out there if you dont mind not having all the toys!

I am 60, I have two 125s. I would love to pass my test but the testing system puts me right off. I think after two years riding on a cbt you should be able to remove the L plates on a 125 not repeating the same test again. Then a further road test only on a larger bike to get your full licence!

Anybody else remember Latham’s when it was a green shed selling maggots, fishing tackle and permits?

I love that bit of road, then on through Hawes and down to Ribblehead viaduct.
