Ref tyres, I have watched loads of reviews on tyres and the choice is endless, I currently have a GS and am running the Dunlop Trailmax Raids 50/50, absolutely great, high silica content which is great for wet roads and gives extra life in the tyres, grip levels fabulous and confidence inspiring.
Hello Dunny, what made you choose the Rally Pro over the GT Pro? I'm also new to motorcycle riding. I passed my test last June and bought a 2011 Honda NT700, but I'm looking for a lighter and a bit more agile bike.
Nice bike - love the colour scheme. I chose a Tiger 1200 as I was after a shaft driven bike. Having ridden both the 900 & 1200, both are excellent bikes. Good luck with your channel.
Hi Dunny. Re: lights. I had a problem with my ‘23 Street Triple. When switching from DRL to headlight, I couldn’t switch the headlights off and return to DRL, I just had no lights on. A slightly different issue/niggle to your description, but the headlight unit was replaced under warranty. I believe there was water ingress to the unit. Lovely bike, nice video, stay safe. 👍
Cheers Richard. I think I need to ask my dealer. It’s weird how it works sometimes and doesn’t others. Which makes it more annoying. As I mention in the video I’m wondering whether there is an underlying rule in the tech that determines whether it can go on or not. Bit if so that’s just bollocks as you just be able to choose at the flick of a switch. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👌💥
Hi Dunny, am looking at the same bike and my concerns are similar regarding the seat height, does the low seats differ in comfort compared to the standard seat? Also good to hear it’s heated.
Congratulations. I used Bennett’s. It wasn’t cheap but they gave me the best deal. Some insurance companies wouldn’t offer me insurance because I was a new rider on a 900cc, 106hp bike. Yeah the luggage racks is an interesting one. I ordered the bike with the Trekker luggage as I didn’t want the big square aluminium boxes. I was expecting the rack to be aluminium too but turned out they fitted black ones which I must prefer. I’ll do a review / video on the luggage. I struggled to find many reviews on it when I was ordering the bike. Cheers
First bike was my Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 that I bought last October when I passed my CBT. I passed my big test in May this year and took delivery of the Tiger in June! So first proper bike and I absolutely love it.
@@Motodunny Congratulations! My first bike was a Kawa KE125 back in 1980. Just bought a new T7 after about 28 years of not riding while bringing up my son. I chose the T7 as it seemed like a logical progression from my 1980 XT500 that I loved in the 90's. At 6' 6" it's nice to have a bike that sort of fits me too.
You can't have the spots on with the running lights. This was also the case with my 2021 bike. My 2024 900 also auto switches to main headlight once the light level drops, even if you have the switch in the running light position. Great bikes though!

Hey and sounds like you made a great choice. I totally get the benefit of the shaft drive and the 1200 is a beast. Happy motoring. 🤙💥

Sorry, but do you know what the low seat height is please?
Great bike …I passed my test in May to…can I ask who you used for insurance cheers also noticed your racks are black which luggage did you get..

Smart machine, Dunny. Is the Tiger your first bike? If not, what have you ridden before?

Yeah, got that re the fog light and head light mix but I think you’re bang on re the light sensor. Nice one. Cheers
