Woohooo... congrats on the new bike, Blake! It's a looker all right! I've just gone down a similar route and chopped my RT in for a GS, just before Xmas. Not ridden it much as yet (I'm a self-confessed fair weather rider), but feels very different to the RT... much to do with it being lighter I guess. Heated seat is definitely the way forward... as you say, something you don't know you need until you have it. I'm now looking forward to spring time and a few rides in N Wales and the Peaks. Enjoy the new bike... cheers, G 👍
yes, I thought I could feel a Tiger coming on ! Really love the colour, Nick over at Moto UK loves his, the heated seat will be very welcome if you ever do a Norway tour, anything planned with Toby for a tour ?
Yes... Busy planning the first tour with the Tiger. Exciting times! I'm always talking with Toby about touring... But he's busy being a (very good) dad! (Selfish! Haha)
WOW. If you had to say goodbye to the Trophy on mental health grounds, Welll I dont think you could do better in the Triumph stable than the Tiger Rally.. You are due a proper NC500 with the new camera set up .. The 850 was awesome but a proper shakedown on the Rally needs an NC 500 )) :))🤓💯❤🩹
Wouldn't normally respond to comments like this... However, I did indicate (several times) that my Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is a ex-Factory model. It was registered by Triumph - in 2021 - along with a series of other machines - for the press launch events. Ahead of the bikes official launch. So, I do know what I have - thank you for watching
@@MAPPEDSooo, is a pre-production one? "Comments like this" What's wrong with the comment? ;) I think this is an important part. Did you mention it in the video?
@@stargazerhuthere's nothing ambiguous about this. He made it clear enough at the beginning that it wasn't hard to connect the dots. You sounded like you had a "I gotcha!" moment, but you did not. I'm not surprised he's not engaging with you any further. You won't hear from me again either. This has clear signs of going down a rabbit hole. Lol Cheers.

I agree... I'll be heading north of the border very soon! 🤟😊🏴
Good video, but come back to the BMW GSA. You know it makes sense ❤ DS on the GS
Yep. Still love the GS (always will!)... But I think I'd go for the R1250 (I think it's prettier! Haha)
This bike released in 24/05/2022. Not in 2021. So it seems, you dont even know what you bought. :)
