    The topic is so scary I have to check this video. Because I just bought 2024 GT Pro with same set. But after I got through your video I got relief. And I gonna tell you why. ... First of, the crash bars. You said it's not quite sturdy and tend to bend after the fall. Absolutely right. Because it was design to be softer than your bike's frame to protect it from bending. If the crash bars are too strong, when your bike falls it will transfer all the force to your bike frame instead. Not just frame could be bend, but also engine holder might be crack as well. Fixing/Changing crash bars or side panel are a lot cheaper than fixing bike frame/engine holder for sure. ... Next one, Side case.... I completely agree with you about Givi/Triumph mono key lock standard. I having this problem as well, but it's still ok for me because the total cost when buying Givi outside is much more expensive. But about the opening side case... Normally when everyone is packing stuff. We will strip down all case and finish packing before put it back to bike. Not packing on the bike. And also, Do you know this Givi Trekker can open half of the lid to access stuff inside the case while it's attached to the bike? ... I'm not gonna blame you for anything you didn't know. This is your first ADV bike after all. Thanks for your great video. Even I saw this too late.

    Yeah, you are right, the royal enfield is in terms of looks is very , very beautiful but because it's single cylinder and omly 20 horse power isnt good enough for me...maybe if re launches a super hunter, with a twin cylinder engine.....so the voge seems a good compromise to me: light, twin cylinder, perfect power and reasonable looks...

    I'm a nakedbike rider since I started riding nearly 10 years ago. But hating on cruiser is just plane stupid. Same as hating sportsbike. In the early years I had a common opinien as YN. This changed a lot. Now I'm looking for something which has more power than my smv 750 and is better suited to ride longer distances with the possibility of still riding a bit "sporty".

    On my cruiser I simply enjoy the ride sitting upright in comfort. I ride a 1500 Vulcan Classic and always wear my full-face helmet even sitting behind a big windshield. Cruiser community? Never seen a cruiser group, but I'm not interested in riding with others. I'm retired and in no hurry to go anywhere, that's why I like my cruiser.

    You're absolutely correct Yammi noob. Is comparing apples with oranges.. or perhaps apples to bananas.. they have different purposes.. I'm 65 and I can't ride along with leaning over a tank on a crotch rocket... I'm not looking to do wheelies and stunts and race around town or race around tight roads... I just bought a Yamaha 1300 Royal Star it's a 1996.. has 30,000 miles on it and was well maintained as the owner is a motorcycle mechanic.. I personally know.. I paid $2,000 in the Yamaha is in mint condition.. it has running lights. Large windshield.. floorboards and saddlebags... Yes it's a big heavy cruiser.. but the V4 engine has plenty of power... At my age I just want to ride down the highway and enjoying the ride.. not trying to get there fast.. not racing.. I'm not doing wheelies and stunts.. just enjoying the ride!

    My dear man. First of, YN is an entertainer in the first place. You can call him a clown if you will, but he is literally here to - 1st entertaint and - 2nd inform. Talking everything what he sais seriously will lead you to buying a turbo busa as a first bike. I absolutely would not agree that performance is what he praises in his moto life, he praises fun the most. And thats unfortunately true, cruisers are not fun, at all. And then you go arguing about how a cruiser is about scenery, low seat height community etc. Truith is, outside of seat height, a good adventure bike will do everything better. 1st, you can cruise on any bike outside of dire sprotbikes, even on sport tourer you can absolutely ride at 40 mph while enjoying the view. On an ADV bike you will have the same view as on a cruiser, if not a better one. Its the same for naked. I have 6 degree lean forword on Sportster and wooping 7 on a Honda CB1000. And 0 on a GS or Africa Twin, i can just seat totally upright. This is exactly what Spite sais in his video about cruisers - problem with them is that ADV bikes are just better at what cruisers suppose to be best at. Yes, lower seat height, that point stands. So basically if you want scenerey AND a lower height and you can sacrifce better engine, better brakes, better electronics, better seating position, better cornering, better offroad capabilities, if you can drop all of this because you need a lower seat height - well, you got me there. And for community i am sorry that point is just your personal matter. Finding a decent riding group that waits for everyone and stays as a group is totally irrelevant to a bike you ride. My friend rode with one infamous 1 percenters for 3 years, (he quit after completeing his time as a prospect since he realised he didnt want to tie his life with criminal activity for the end of it) he said they ride like literall animals. Totally cruiser riders, like you cant be more cruiser guy than a 1percenter international MC. I have some mixed groups we ride in a pack and wait for everyone if someone cant keep up. For me the number one reason people like cruisers is because its magical appeal. And Yammie actually talks about it, its some magic, some huge back story ascosiated with riding a cruiser. And the way V-Twin feels and sounds - well nothing does it like that, I would actually say that every reason you advocate outside of seat height is actually less important then a huge appeal cruisers has emotinally and mythologically, if i may. V Twin sound, classic looks, low torque, drrrdrrdrr between your legs - thats why people actually ride cruisers. TLDR - you can cruise on any bike, while having even better view and comfort for you and your passanger on specifically ADV bikes. Riding groups is something composed out people, not bikes, just find one you are comfortable with. Low seat height is unbeatable tho, thats true. Oh and ride what you enjoy, dont let anyone affect your life choices. Just be safe. And YN, as much of a clown he is, is an immensively passionate and well informed person who does a great public service. He hates Ninja 650, and i started on it and consider it one of the best beginers bike ever. Someone once mentioned him that in a drag race Ninja 650 outperformed i think Aprillia and Yamaha, and he responded to that with "still sucks lol". I would be mad to take that seriously. If you want to promote cruiser riding i think the best way is to be passioned about and do content. Look at brian_636, that dude alone almost convinced me to buy a Harley. Lol.

    On my triumph 900 rally pro I bought Outback tek engine guards and bash plate then the T-Rex racing luggage rack as it is stronger. Outback advises against not using a top case and just 8kg, 16 lbs and not use as backrest. The panniers racks are set up to use Mosko Moto soft side bags. Hard side luggage as more secure theft wise but if you drop the bike there is a very real possibility of catching you lower leg under the edge of the case with broken bones. Haven't found a top case yet. On any brand of motorcycles I wouldn't purchase accessories from the dealer unless an aftermarket idem.

    top opening interferes with a normal givi or shad top box. i have no problem with side but yes it will come out easier. there is only one side hard box taht opens from the front and rear. . Opening from the rear is blocked by a 48L top box; or bigger.

    I part exchanged my Tiger Sport 1050 for a Tiger 900 a month ago. I have been riding for 40 years & I think the Tiger 900 is the best bike I have ever owned. The bike is packed with useful tech & is light enough to flick around a car park like a BMX. No more worrying about dropping it. I'm 2 up touring with my wife from Santander to Barcelona in July so will be interested to see how it performs on a long trip. The 900 has put the fun back in to biking again because it is so accessible.

    Cruisers are dangerous trash and no one should, realistically, ever subject themselves to one. Even as a newbie, if by some miracle you do the right thing when you're in trouble, on a decent commuter or adventure bike you'll escape, and on a cruiser you'll scrape and die like a moron. Cruisers: not even once, kids.

    For my BMW gs, I got my Outback panniers rack and boxes from GIVI and the engine guards as well, and they are great - much cheaper than BMW or Triumph. I am about to purchase the Triumph 900 and will just purchase the rack from GIVI and my boxes will work perfectly. Like you did, I put the OEM BMW skid plate on as it is fine and strong, but I put barkbusters on rather than the BMW handguards. Aftermarket accessories are much cheaper, and more flexible in terms of changing or adding parts, and better quality.
