Appreciate you for the comment! Triples are my favorite engine! As I'm thinking about 4 of my 10 favorite bikes have triples. The tiger 900 is such a good platform overall and just getting better. Stay safe and I hope you will share your experience with it on the channel in the future
For a Rode Bike, how much Suspension do you really need? I hate tall bikes and would never even consider one. These bike manufacturers are cutting out more than half of their possible customers with this Tall Bike Trend. In the US, I believe that the average male is around 5'7" to 5'10" tall. Shouldn't bikes be made to fit the average heith customer?
For a road bike, 3.25 to 4.5" of travel is enough, in my opinion. I'm 5'9, and most of the bikes I've ridden put me on the balls of my feet. It's very rare for me to be flat-footed. It seems most bikes are built for a 32" inseam. Now I can say all the big adv bikes are crazy tall and it is very nice for visibility as I was basically sitting at the height of my truck but touching the ground is toes or one foot only. Which is the proper but it's not for everyone. The big adv craze is at an end in my opinion. They are awesome machines but the height, weight and price are usually all pretty high. The smaller cc and middle weight class are being pushed more now and for good reason.
That is a lot of cash for a bike most wont take off road. It is too heavy imo for an off road bike but can probably ride all day down the highway. Tenere is the only adv I have ridden and id rather take my wr250 out on the trails than the Tenere...now, if you have an hour on the highway before you can hit a trail it becomes a hard choice. This is a good year for choices. My brain still wants a superbike but I think my body wants something a lil more comfy lol.
It is more of a comfortable highway with a suspension that will handle some off-road if needed bike. Would need different tires for the off road stuff. It isn't cheap no questioning that but if you got the money I suppose. Oh yeah the 250 would be so much better off road. I haven't ridden a tenere yet. Lol yeah I can understand that statement. I say buy one of each type of bike so you can just have everything lol.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders The adv bike craze isn't something I get I guess. Id rather spend the same money on a Daytona 660(been growing on me since your review) and a WR250R(or crf300/klx300 if ya need new but the wr is better if ya find a clean one mine is a 2020)
Do you know how Triumph manage to get this bike so low? Are they using a factory made lowering kit and an alternative seat or have they complete changed the suspension? I'm not sure if it's worth getting the GT low because it's lowered in a better way or if I could get a GT pro and lower this using a low seat and a lowering kit. Thanks!
From what I understand they took away suspension travel in the front and the rear and a lower profile seat. I would imagine this could be achieved with the other models also. Since its more of a road bike losing a little travel on the suspension really isn't a big deal in my opinion but really comes down to what you want to do with it.
Awesome review! That’s my next bike, I’m 5”7 that bike is perfect for me, love the triple! Thank you! 🙏 😊
