Greetings from Australia. Congratulations on your new motorcycle. I thoroughly enjoy watching your travel videos, and the educational background and information about the various places you visit. Safe travels to both of you.
We rode 325 miles in 48 degree rain, followed by 35 mph cross winds for another 175 miles on our way to the Red River NM rally over Memorial Day weekend.
Just FYI I owned a TT 800Xcx and had every single issue mentioned on the Triumph blogs. The electrics had gremlins (lights burning out and randomly dying), WP suspension rattle, etc. The scheduled valve adjustment will cost you $1000 (have to disassemble the bike). I also had a dealer tell me that the triple engine begins to loose significant compression around 50k miles. He also told me they had to rebuild many of them at those miles. I hope you have better luck with yours.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I loved mine too, just wanted a more reliable motorcycle. I’ve been riding my wife’s CB500X and it’s a fun little bike, a bit small for me at 6’1”. The v-strom 650 will probably be my replacement for the TT. I’m not going to be riding any single track just some back roads and another trip to Alaska (fuel range is key). Oh and my Tiger got mid to low 50 mpg’s. I enjoy you twos videos and travels. Be safe and happy trails!
Hi folks. Just wanted to share my time on my Tiger. I’m up in Idaho where half my riding is gravel. I picked up a 22 Tiger GT Pro in April and have about 2500 miles on it. According to my dash I’m averaging 53+. I see your bike has a number of accessories and you might check your gearing to see if it’s been modified. Yes, the speedo is inaccurate on mine as well. Keeps me out of trouble. But certainly your mileage is an issue that needs to be addressed. Good luck there and ride safe. And let us know what happens when the issue is resolved. Thanks
Thanks Bob. We are getter better mileage staying off the super slabs and when we ride without the panniers. The Speedo I hear is off because it calibrated as imperial miles, but who knows. She does love the bike though
I have a 2021 Tiger 900 GT. I get around 45 mpg on the highway depending on rider mode. The speedometer reads 2 mph faster than I am actually going. I have put 9500 miles on mine and still love it!
Nice new to you bike Chris. From the aviation world double the speed, drag increases by times 4. That’s where your fuel is going, on the interstate your higher speed is increasing the drag by the square which needs more throttle to maintain your ground speed. Your fuel consumption always goes up if you ride into a headwind as the drag is an airspeed relationship as opposed to a ground speed. Plus those huge boxes sitting out in the wind take a lot of fuel to push through the air. Keep those great videos coming👍
I'd agree with this completely. I'm in the UK and ride a VStrom 650. Fully loaded with panniers and bags in Scotland last year on twisty roads I was getting into the low 70's mpg (UK gallons). On a recent trip to the East of the UK I spent half the day on highway type roads, battling a strong headwind and was down to around 64 mpg. Also the E10 (10% ethanol) petrol over here also has an effect and lowers gas mileage.
@@neilmackinnon3371 yup, about 55mph airspeed is a sweet spot for big draggy adventure bikes, any more airspeed needs more power hence less mpg. Riding into a 5mph headwind @ 55mph ground speed needs the same power as riding at 60mph (not accounting wheel rotation drag increases, surface friction changes etc etc) Short on gas to get to your destination? Slow down a bit and you increase your ground mpg by reducing air drag. Got a tail wind, speed up for the same mpg or slow down to hugely improve mpg. ( but where’s the fun in that). Or should we actually just use spg (smiles per gallon) for motorcycles.
Yipee! Welcome to the Triumph family.With my big TouraTech boxes, on the Rally Pro, the mileage drops significantly. Cross winds are nerve racking too.
Congratulations on the new bike Chris. I think the Triumph 900 is a great choice because of the much lighter weight. And it looks so cool with all the great features. A very nice looking bike. With the lower seat height and lower weight, this bike should be easier to handle in rougher roads
Hi Both. I live in the UK and hope your safe and well. I have a tiger 800xca and just done a 1900 mile trip from my home in Wales to Scotland and back. With full panniers and top box one up I got 74mpg and that was with 40% motorway riding at about 70mph
New bike day, woohoo! Enjoy your Tiger. BaB is a great way to meet new friends. Last summer I stayed 2 days with your first host, great guy. He offered for me to stay another day and I should have listened. The day I left I rode through really heavy rain ( 🌀 ) going to Birmingham. Many cars and trucks slid off the road but the idiot on the V Strom 650 kept going.
love it. it was a time don't see your videos,and now I found out u where in my town and bought the bike at my local dealer..(I get my tiger from there too..) good luck !!
Congrats on the new bike. My Wife fell in love with the 900GT Pro too and now has a 2022 in the garage and just finished her first multiday, multistate ride on it.
Here’s a link to a video we made with it Bunk-a-Biker - Couch Surfing For Motorcyclists - What Could be Better Than That? (S2 EP19) th-cam.com/video/PtC_aCN32jQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2020 tiger 1200 and get about 42MPGs indicated, but I put that down to aggressive driving. I don't have panniers installed, but I do have a taller windscreen. It's better than the 13.5 I get in my truck.
Congrats Chris on the new bike. I hoped it was the Tiger. It's an awesome bike even though I just became a 1250 GS owner. You both are great and look forward to watching your next adventures.
Yall had given us the heads up on the new bike but I appreciate your decisions and dedication to getting the right bike for Chris to be comfortable and safe. Keep it up you're doing great!
Great bike Chris! One thing I recommend is changing out the factory crash bars for aftermarket ones like Heed or another brand. The factory ones don't take well to a good drop, and there is a forward mounting tab that has been prone to breaking off of the motor in a good drop that can't be repaired. Enjoying the channel here in Ky. Be safe and have a great time!
Welcome to the Triumph family I have a 2021 Tiger but it’s the 850 sport and I love it .. It says I get between 40 to 50 miles per gallon depending on how I drive it obviously ..
No doubt you are right. However I believe their riding requirements have changed now they drive and set up base camp, get the bikes off the truck deck (not easy with heavy bikes). So I reckon the 900 Triumph(s?) will be perfect for them now. 👍
Congrats on the new Triumph. I have a 1200 Scrambler over here in England 🏴 so welcome to the club!!. Speedos over here in a car or motorbike tend to be 4/5 miles an hour faster than your true speed shown on the Sat Nav. As for mileage, speeds over 70mph will reduce your average consumption especially with the panniers and top box. Enjoy your new bike especially in the twisty roads.
I only recently got my motorcycle license at 54 and my first motorcycle at 55, a 2022 1250 GSA for reasons unique to me. I found this channel shortly after and the comments of why you bought the GS's do appear to conflict with why you have decided to go in a different direction, especially so soon. I have enjoyed your travels. My wife won't get on a motorcycle so those grand adventures for us will be in a SUV, hopefully with my motorcycle in tow on occasion.
Awesome I was hoping it would be a Tiger. I have been looking at them to replace my Klr. Will be watching to see how you like it! Congrats on the new bike!
Congrats on the Triumph, Chris! Beautiful bike, looks like it came well-equipped. As others have said here, the hard panniers as well as the colder temps may be affecting the gas mileage. Also, my Super Tenere's speedometer registers about 4-5 mph over the actual speed. Ride safely, look forward to seeing what's next for you guys! x Nancy
Congratulations, God's blessings for many happy and safe miles on your new ride. Remember another life time ago HD and Triumphs ruled Japanese bikes started to become popular and controls were different. After many accidents they made it standard were the controls were to be. Made riding different bikes more enjoyable and saved many life's
Congrats on the bike .....I just got a 2021 tiger rally pro ( same color lol ) I love the bike ...getting ready to do an iron butt tour on it 🤞 fyi i am only getting like 44 - 45 mpg and I don't have panniers and top case .......it's a really fun bike hope you enjoy yours like I am enjoying mine ......stay safe and ride on ......keep the videos coming
Welcome to the Triumph Family Chris!!!! I own 2 Triumphs. Be prepared to be talked to by every older gentleman saying "Damn they never built a Triumph like that when i learned to ride" !!!! Congratulations on the new ride !!!!!
Congrats on the new bike. I have been seeing the Easter eggs you were leaving in some of your previous videos. It was fun to look for them. And ………….FOURTY-FIVE??? I need my heated grips at 65F!!!
I own a Triumph Tiger 1200 and I get 42mpg at 70mph and 4200rpm. My sons 800 Tiger runs 5200rpm at 70mph and gets 45mpg. This was way back in mid April and as you know it’s memorial weekend. I’m sure you’re loving the hell out of the Tiger. How is the seat different? Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
You have a great and well maintained bike. I’m friends with the previous owner and have ridden it myself to compare with my 2014 VStrom 1000😃 Enjoy and safe travels!! Love your channel.
Congratulations. I never understood why you had such big bikes when you towed them and then did local tours. I actually think you should have gone smaller such as a 300 or 500 cc bike if your wanting to have fun and explore off road places. Wishing you both the best. 🤗
Congrats on the new bike Chris! What did you do with your GS? Rich, are you going to get another smaller adventure bike?
The GS is for sale and Ms Alice is coming back and more Moto Camping. Stay tuned

Honestly that Triumph is beautiful. I think it’s going to be an amazing touring bike. Well done on a great choice
Thanks So far it’s awesome
Riding around the country on a motorcycles with a beautiful blonde woman, what could be better than that? Your the man Richard, much respect to you.
Windshield and bags probably affect mileage some.
I bet that it they are big bags.

Hey guys! I think to millage quote you gave is published by Triumph and if do it's in imperial units. 55 mpg imperial converts to 45.8 mpg US!
That makes sense for sure 🤔

I just recently bought a 2022 Triump Rally 900 cc; last bike was a BMW 1200 GS !
The rally has a bigger front tire than the GT so the GT feels lighter turning.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I like the 21” front wheel, especially off road….
Douglasville ga., I have bought two bikes from that shop. Be careful of traffic around Atlanta we drive like drunks.
I live 1/4 Mile from that dealer. They have been in buisness many years with a great reputation. They used to be in Mabelton, Ga.
Nice Bike!

Good thing for bunk a biker..Tennessee just made it a felony to stealth camp in the state..buggers to them.
