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 👍
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.
Nice review, 150k kilometers isn't nothing though, how many more do you reckon you could get from the bike if maintained correctly? I took a look on bikesales and it seems that for roughly about twice what you paid you could get one with maybe half the number of kilometers on the clock. It'd be a tough decision for me as to which way to go.
Yes agreed, lower mileage units are a lot more $$$. Dealerships tend to not carry the high mileage stuff so private is the way to go if you’re looking for a bargain. This bike certainly doesn’t reflect the amount of KMS it’s done but it does have a good service history. One thing for sure I’d say is if you picked up a low mileage unit you’d have many years of trouble free riding based on what I’ve experienced with this one. I guess it all comes down to what you’re willing to pay and of course if you can find one privately that’s been looked after if you go for the cheaper alternative.
@@standupmoto Yes, some good deals available on bikesales, for all sorts of bike, right now. I think my next bike purchase will be second hand. I reckon a brand new ~$15k bike depreciates by about a third in the first year.
@ Tony I couldn’t agree more, there are some great used bike deals out there at the moment. And of course every time a new model comes out those that are cashed up trade up on the new model, I love used bikes and adventure bikes, I tend to find buying secondhand a lot of of the accessories that I would have to purchase myself I already fitted. Good luck with your hunting, and don’t be afraid to buy interstate after doing the appropriate checks. There are some really good transport mobs around and it doesn’t really add that much to the cost for the right bike. Cheers.
Good review However Living in the Tampa area Florida I did some price checking and from 2009 to 2015 price ranges from 4500 to 6500 so they are certainly not an affordable alternative for me - and I’ve been looking hard as I just sold my Interceptor which I hated- I’ve been on many bikes big to small from 1962 - and will probably go back to a Vstrom 650 Regards from Florida 🦩🦩🦩
Hi John, Yeah you can’t go wrong with the VStrom, they are a great mount. Reliable, fuel efficient & a nice ride. When I was looking at prices of the Tiger I was only looking at high mileage units in order to keep the price down. Lower mileage ones are still up there price wise, thanks for the comment & nice to hear from Florida 👍
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!
Awesome review, fantastic video and yes the Tiger is great value 👍
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching! 👍
I had a 2009. Wonder bike!
Yes must agree, have enjoyed every minute of reviewing this bike.👍
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.👍

@ Got ya, I’ll keep my eyes out for one 👍
Love the way you chuck the bike around in the dirt.
It was fun to get it off-road for a bit.👍
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.
