Triumph Tiger 1050 2011 model Used Bike Review in 2025 (80)
Triumph Tiger 1050 2011 model used bike review in 2025
After receiving a request from a viewer in the USA asking me to find him a motorcycle that fit his criteria, I did some research. He wanted something that was fast, something that he could go touring on, something that he could also use to commute to and from work, but with a limited budget. How much did he want to spend? Well I will disclose that during the video. 
This was no easy task as his budget was very low, however, as I also mention in the video I think I found the bargain of the century. We have a good close look at this 2011 model Triumph Tiger, and to my surprise (not that it would be to owners of the 1050) this is a very very good motorcycle. I hope you enjoy the video, if you do please give it the thumbs up and consider subscribing to the channel and feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.

Honda Goldwing - 5 Myths busted ! (79)

Hi, thanks for tuning in to Stand-up Moto.

Great review, thanks for the knowledge. Your bike looks really nice!
I appreciate that, thanks 👍
Road mine to work in the city everyday (even at -10c if the roads were dry) then wife on board, we were off on the weekends. 200,000 kms., with zero mechanical issues. Changes fluids tires and a plug change. My wife loved the bike for it's comfort, smoothness and I loved it for the torque, the beautiful sound and the nice handling. Best bike I ever owned and I came from almost 2 decades of sportbikes. Thanks for the vid and I agree wholeheartedly.
I love hearing about bikes that have lasted a long time, especially with zero mechanical issues, that’s exactly why we all buy them! 👍
Good work mate. I’d love to own one, but I wanna also keep my 2017 Ultra Ltd Harley. Both great bikes and capable in the right hands.
It's always good to have options, glad you’re enjoying your current machine 👍
Fantastic video and review... Definately do a few more video`s like this as there are hardly any similar ones out there. Not everyone has a huge budget or want to spend a lot of cash on a motorcycle. I`m one of these people and to give you an example; only this week, I purchased a 2011 Vstrom 650 with 55,000k`s on the clock, from a very well know dealer in Melbourne for only $4,490. And I`m pretty sure that this bike could have been had for a bit cheaper had I purchased it privately. So please, please, please do make more videos like the one that you just have. "Thank you"...
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I will be doing more reviews on older, less expensive bikes. 👍
A-MA-ZI-NG review!!! Packed with real life info that only a true motorcyclist can provide! Greetings from your new subscriber from Greece🤗
Σας ευχαριστώ glad you enjoyed it, welcome to the channel and lovely to hear from Greece 🤝
Hi Steve, it was great to meet you a couple of weeks at Strath, by chance. We enjoyed the chat and lots of laughs & appreciated your stories & knowledge. Great video & the 411 is definitely a great bike. As a fairly new rider I love mine. Comfy, reliable & easy to handle, goes anywhere. Cheers Mandy & Rick
Thanks for the kind words. It's great to hear you guys are enjoying your rides! The 411 is a great bike.
Amazing review! Thank you so much... I currently own a GL1500 (My Second) and a GL1800 which I got late last season... I don't want to sound snobby but I truly think these are the best bikes on the planet... (I've had over 30 bikes so I'm speaking from experience) If you haven't tried a GW, you owe it to yourself!
Appreciate you saying that, it’s really great to hear you’re a fan of the Goldwing 👍
Great review! You still got it?
Thanks mate, unfortunately no. Occupational hazard ⚠️ I have to keep turning over my bikes. That of course doesn’t mean there’s not another one in the garage somewhere down the line.👍
I've had mine since, well, yesterday! 😆

@@standupmoto Thanks a lot!
Hello Steve, please can you tell me where did you buy that aftermarket exhaust pipe's, can you post some link or something. Also great video, very greatfull to watch. I also love that classic older bikes. And yours revs and sounds beautifull. Best regards from Croatia. Cheers😊
Zdravo, I understand your frustration trying to find a system. I couldn’t find them either and ended up buying a wreck that had good exhaust system, glad you enjoyed the video and nice to hear from Croatia 🤝
I don't know how people achieve over 68 MPG, that's USA miles. Normally near 62 MPG. I ride the bike rather conservatively when I perform an MPG test. At times the bike's display shows much better MPG during a ride, but the refill calculation is the closest to actual Average MPG results. Is there a special muffler that increases MPG? The bike I ride is a stock Manual 6 speed 2019 NC750X. Good Video
Thanks for sharing your experience. Fuel economy is quite variable based on riding style & extra drag of course, meaning panniers, windshields, blended fuels etc. Does the muffler make a difference? Look I’m not 100% sure but it certainly sounds good and I guess the motor would have to breathe a little better which would equate to less hp being required to expel the burnt combustion. I guess you would have to do the experiment to find out for sure.
excellent review. Does Pavement, dirt road, and some light off-road. My bike is a 2019 manual NC750X. I installed the taller Givi windshield. and it keeps the wind off my body and head at 80MPH. I gas up using 87 octane with 10% ethanol. I do notice that after 70 MPH, the fuel economy starts to decrease quite a bit while riding the NC750X. I haven't tested pure non-ethanol 90 cause it costs more than one-dollar per gallon vs. the ethanol mix. Can't justify any possible small increase in MPG. Most likely the taller windshield is the issue. I bought the 750X used with less than 3000 US miles on it. I think I've put 2k additional miles on it. BTW: I also own a Honda CTX700 with over 10k miles. same engine. I toured 3000 miles of interstate, 2-Lane Highway, and mountain roads in the Appalachian Mountains on the US East Coast. Then, I rode it 600 miles straight home at about 75-85 MPH on the interstate from the Smoky Mountains, my last destination of the trip. The engine and the bike ran flawlessly and maintained 58 - 62 MPG. Those Honda FIT engines run great. Plan to tour on the NC750X, it feels at home on the interstate.
That taller windshield definitely changes the aerodynamics! Which increases increases fuel consumption a little bit,thanks for sharing all the details, I appreciate it.
What an Awesome! thorough informative review. Thank you 😊 👍 Every so often a manufacturer creates a great machine, I think the 1050 tiger sport is one. I am considering the 2025 released 800 tiger sport and found this review during my research. 🤔 now wondering about late 1050s 😊 cheers
Thanks, it's a tough choice, they are both good bikes. I’m impressed with their triples, I also have a 1200 Explorer for the longer hauls.👍
This is a really thoughtful review. Thanks to you and the dealer that loaned the bike. Best Wishes!
I really appreciate your kind words and I hope the review gave you some good insights!
I am a 32 inch leg would I be good to ride this bike had a gt just a bit to big n tall.love the bikes 😊
Hi Philip, 32” is the same as me- it’s tall in std form to be honest. Personally I like my seat high but understand that’s not for everyone, I would go down the track of a lowering link. They are really cheap and available on eBay .👍
I own this bike. This is a great review. I agree with everything. Great work.
Thanks! I appreciate you agreeing with my assessment. 👍
I live in the south of france and have owned my 2007 gl1800 since 2015. She has taken me all over Europe yet has only done 43k miles. I love the bike but at 71 years young i only ride her in the dry and daylight. I do one long ride per year to somewhere with mountains and sunshine, the rest of the year i keep her active by riding around the pyrenees looking for a nice place to have lunch😊 unfortunately my wife no longer joins me after we were rear ended on a harley electraglide in florida😢
So good to hear you love riding Wing, and to do it in the south of France. (I’m jealous). Sad to hear your wife doesn’t ride with you anymore but I guess there comes a time when everyone decides they have had enough , especially after a scare of being in an accident. Interesting to hear you talk miles? Did you import your bike over from the States? Enjoy your beautiful machine (same year as mine in the video) riding around that beautiful part of the world. 👍
Enjoyed review.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks 👍
Best bike reviewer on YT bar none.
Thanks mate 👍
Dct or manual? best mpg?
I haven’t done the direct comparison but seeing as the DCT is direct engagement like the manual clutch (as in no torque converter) I’d say they’d be pretty similar, great question 👍
Great review, I have a red 2013 1050 se , absolutely love mine..
They're great bikes 👍
I drive a Z4 E89 and I see a lot of similarities: The 6 cilinders, daytime running lights, Xenon and even the sound of the engine! Nice video, thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I wouldn’t doubt there’s a few comments that get shared also.
My first knowledge of the Honda Good Wing was back in 1975, when they were introduced to Australia, I was impressed but couldn’t afford to upgrade from my CB750 at the time. Not long after that, a riding mate bought a beautiful red one……very jealous indeed. In 1993 I was fortunate be able to travel to the USA for around 6 weeks and had access to a BMW K100RT and covered around 8000K’s in the Western States with Wife on the pillion seat. The Beemer did a good job overall, however, I came across a few people travelling around on Honda GL1500’s some towing trailers and all with pillions aboard. I couldn’t believe the pace that were making on the curvy mountain roads in North California and Oregon, timeI was very impressed. Anyway time and a couple of motorcycles later in 1999, I was in a position to purchase a new GL1500 Aspencade in black. What a revelation. Naturally, I changed horses again after a few years as I like to experience various Motorcycles, I finally bought a new 2010 GL1800……another revelation. However I did go back to a 1995 GL1500 for a while, I think that 1500 was the epitome of what a Gold Wing was supposed to be. I continued chopping and changing to maximise my motorcycling experiences and enjoyed doing so. However I did, here I am in my 70’s and still keen to ride, just not as often or as far, But the itch returned for another ‘Wing, so now about to pick up a nice lowish K’s 2005 GL1800 in Candy Apple Red…….it will almost certainly be my last, but I propse to enjoy the hell out of it for as long as possible. 👍😎
I must ask who makes that pair of gloves.
Hi, they come from a company called ‘’Fogy Garage’’ and yes only one G in Fogy. If you google them it’ll come up. They are crazy comfortable but with the Kevlar lining & hard knuckle protection. Tell them you saw them on the channel and they might offer you a discount. I wear them a lot when filming as they still work on the touchscreen. Cheers
Wow you got me super excited... l am getting a 2017 K1600 GT next week. Mine does not have the Radio fitted, but that is not a big deal with in helmet bluetooth speakers. I am super impressed with your dirt road skills and it also made me worry a little less for when l encounter dirt roads here in South Africa. I had 2 GSA's but l was looking for something more comfortable for my wife and l to ride weekends. Thanks for your detailed review. BMW should sponsor you!
I'm glad the review helped you feel a bit more confident about those South African dirt roads. Just remember it’s only has a small front wheel, it’ll want to plough if you let it. In other words let the rear turn it with working the clutch & throttle to get a bit of wheel spin, but for just general riding two up take it slowly and steady it’ll be fine. My wife & I have done plenty of dirt road riding on the GT, we just slow down a bit & get there in one piece. Enjoy your new ride, you’ll love it. ps - still waiting for that call from BMW!
Great review. A joy to watch. I'm a pom & I live in Gloucestershire. I lived down under for 18 years & geez I miss the place. Anyway I sought out the nearest RE dealer for a test ride here when these came out. Turned out to be at Watsonian Squire workshops at an old WW2 RAF airfield. Nissen huts the works. They invited me in for a look at the Zeppelins under construction. Hand built in a workshop no bigger than your average Aussie double garage. Bloody Ripper! as the expression goes.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video & great to hear from the motherland. Nissen huts! Haven’t heard that name in many years, there’s still a few kicking around as holiday homes along the Murray river as weekenders. Hope to spend a bit of time touring in the UK during your summer, I’m a bit soft nowadays when it comes to cold weather 👍
having enjoy a number of GL's with few issues, my biggest fear was the ease at which I could 'nod off" momentarily, which certainly produces a "pucker factor" reaction. They are so smooth , comfortable & totally reliable !
Totally understandable! They are very smooth.
Any heating issues ?
No mate, none at all. I will add the review was not done in summer though.
Love my F6B… this is by far the Best GL platform.. even the crash bars are perfect…! The Tour included
Yes the F6B looks great, haven’t owned one but have been lucky enough to spend some time on one 👍
@ installing the progressive suspension replacement Was a great idea as the front fork seals No longer blow out
Greetings from Europe gl 1200 standard🍀👋
Hello, the GL12 a wonderful bike 👍
great review mate.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome thank you. I’m a newbie and have been trying to decide between the new 450 and this 411 and youve pretty much given me all the info I needed to know that it’s the 411 that will tickle my fancy more.
I think you'll enjoy it! The 411 is a nice ride & a bit less expensive also.
Great video. Love my 2018 DCT. I usually get ~60mpg (US) on mine but I ride around 70 mph on the highway most of the time. The thing that surprised me most on your video was the fuel cost!!! I thought California was expensive at $5/gal, SEVEN dollars per gallon there!?
Thanks for watching! Yes, fuel is quite expensive here! Sadly we don’t get the DCT here in Aus, just did a quick check- fuel at the moment is $6.75 AUD gal. That’s $1.80 per litre x 3.75 to make 1 US gal, $6.75 AUD to USD = 4.26 USD per gal. So I guess it’s pretty similar now but we’ve been told it’s soon to go up and to expect by a long way. It’s making the prospect of owning the NC look pretty good 👍
Love the way you chuck the bike around in the dirt.
It was fun to get it off-road for a bit.👍
Nice idea employing your daughter for the myth busting. Good vid. Would love a Gold Wing one day.
Thanks for watching! I hope you get to ride one someday.

That’s awesome, glad to hear it handles so well. 👍
Great review of a forgotten gem mate 👍. I love your thoroughness and penchant for older or peculiar bikes, and this gives your change a breadth and depth I don’t get from other bike channels. Some suggestions for future videos: 2014ish Triumph Tiger XC (a worthy 3/4 version of the Tiger 1050?), early 00’s Transalp 650 (forgotten gem?), Moto Guzzi Stelvio (Italian rival to the Super Tenere you reviewed?). Clearly I’ve had too many beers while watching your excellent channel. Enjoy your bikes in good health 👍
Cheers for the great suggestions, I'll add them to the list! The Stelvio or the V85TT? Anyhow thanks mate glad you enjoy my take on doing reviews, also I know where I may be able to get hold of one of the old XL600V TA’s. See what I can do 👍
@@standupmotoI meant the old Stelvio but the V85TT is also a great choice. Some BMW guys say it is very similar to the original R80 GS which is high praise indeed. Keep up the great work 👍
@ Got ya, I’ll keep my eyes out for one 👍
Thanks giving what few do,, giving the HP. ,51
You are welcome, it's always good to have that information available for viewers.
you have been the only one ever met stating that bike as a light one :)
Yes I tend to do that mainly because of my other bikes, Goldwing, and BMW K1600. These are heavy machines and everything else seems light in comparison, I guess it depends on what you’re comparing it with. I’ll try to remember that next time, thanks for the feedback 👍
@@standupmoto Don't mind...watching you handling the bike makes me believing you 100% :) What I could experience is, that the balance point of the bike is rather high. The orginal stock handle bar quit narrow. The bike tends to be a tilting candidate in some situations. I meanwhile replaced it by a superbike handle bar. Together with a new set of progressive front springs (is it the right translation?) I meanwhile found the handling a way better, and weight not a big factor any longer. I like your review. I got a 25 years old sevenfifty in a brilliant shape. And I love it.
@ Thank you for the kind words, yes translation is excellent. The front spring upgrade is an excellent idea, it certainly makes it handle better and reduces front dive under heavy braking. Look after your beautiful bike , they are becoming quite rare.
A few days ago I found a bag that was almost the same design as my dream bag, but the price blew my mind. I have a soul resonance with kislux . It taught me that beauty doesnât have to be expensive, it just has to be right.
That's interesting! I'm glad you've found something you love.
What an awesome review. The best, hands down. Thanks!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Does it have to be Black.....?!?
No , they also have a white with blue trim.👍
What a great review I have a 2008 Triumph, 1050 and I love the bike. It is a great all around bike 🙏🙏💯💯💯 thanks for the review
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Riding along in a car is like watching a movie.....riding along on a Goldwing is like being in the movie!

2005 Candy Red 30th anniversary edition here. My everyday driver. Have not driven a car to work in a long time. Southern California weather... similar torque numbers as my VMAX 1700 and almost 2X the horsepower of my Fatboy Evo.
That sounds like a great way to live! 👍
Great review thanks and yes I'm happy to watch reviews on older bikes.
Cheers James, glad you like them. I think I’ll definitely try to do some more.👍
