@@tommillar2821 Ah really. Interesting. Same with the KTM SUperAdventure. I was not on this long enough in hot weather to find out. The Africa Twin seems to keep its cool. Ade
I’ve recently purchased a 1200 tiger explorer from 2012...... absolutely love it, and will trade up soon enough to the more higher spec version in due time
Nice, all good bikes. Triumphs have a certain type of character. Nobody 'needs' the amazing tech on the new model but, damn, it is bloody good! You should start seeing some second hand bargains on these. Ade
Which Bike-do you think, with the bluetooth idea, it can be self incriminating straight away? I see it now, more and more are distorting the clocks. I know they say, if you got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. But say 35mph and only going along with the flow, were making there job easier. 20 mph around schools is a no brainier, and a good move IMHO😱
@@davep6286 Yeah, Big Brother is watching. I reckon one day soon all new vehicles will be fitted with electric data capture and available to the Police. It will riderless motorbikes next :) Ade
Hi... I have this bike since may 2019👍 korosi red... KTM and Ducati don't have shaft drive... GS it's to ordinary...less power....less tech...less style 😉 i had no doubt! It was always the xrt 1200!!!!
Yeah, great. That's a lot of bike for a very good price when you consider what you would pay for for the Honda, Ducati or BMWs. You could simply put on a mobile phone mount and use that with a headset for sat nav. Ade
You think the BMW aces the Triumph in every department? Just curious. I have ridden the new GS of course. Absolutely flawless bike, review not up yet. Loved it but the Triumph is definitely a contender for the GS crown. Ade
Yeah , try go 180 full luggage without wobble HAHAH ktm then will blame that there are limits settled by top case and side case manufacturers , BUT ReaDy TO RaCe HAHAHAHA
Just about perfect Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT | Top the range road version | £16300 / $21300

My wife would like this. Smooth, comfortable and heated seats as well. Lot of money but a lot of kit.
Great for pillions in all weathers. Good power too.

Top top bike. Loads of stuff on it. Nothing missing here.
Agreed.
Ade
Cool TFT and I like the Bluetooth idea. All in all, seems like a proper good bike.
Yeah, it has most of the really sexy tech that actually means something.

I do like the spoked wheels on the XCa but i like this bike overall.
I do have a fondness for spoked wheels. This XRT version is spot on for me.
Ade
I'm actually looking at get one of these real soon. Difficult to beat. The GS is very nice but even more withj loads of options added.
Yeah, also the new Africa Twin looks pretty good - the top version coming in at similar money though.
Ade
tank/side fairing too easily damaged in a fall, let alone a spill.

I envy you, it's a show-stopping bike. Have you got this Bluetooth thing that the dealer mentioned?
Ade
@@RevMonkey not yet... I'm in Portugal...the local dealer mentioned we should have it till the end of this year!
Don't think the XCa version does have slightly raised suspension over the XRt, the seat heights are the same.
Can't recall now - maybe it was an adjusted seat as Triumph do a good job with seat options.
Ade
Man this bike is super cool
Yep, a go anywhere bike. Has a lot of tech as well. It is as much money as the rivals. Very well made.
Ade
I've got the xrx 1200 20 plate for 11500 ;-) has got everything lighted in video as far I can see . Wouldnt mind the Bluetooth module for satnav use .
Yeah, great. That's a lot of bike for a very good price when you consider what you would pay for for the Honda, Ducati or BMWs.
You could simply put on a mobile phone mount and use that with a headset for sat nav.

What about the Africa Twin. Worth waiting for the new one?
YES! I am! :)

th-cam.com/video/vG6Y0Jd-Kd4/w-d-xo.html for the Tiger 800 review
The 800 was always going to feel underpowered after this bike mate.
Of course. The 800 was, of course, fine for any normal use. I'd miss the power of the 1200 though.
Ade
Sniff....sniff....I smell bacon cooking! Oh...oh, my bum's getting hot...shit I've accidentally switched on the heated seat!
ha. yeah. it was a bit like that. Great in the winter though.
Ade
umm. id have the 800 with the XRT bits :D
Aye, that would work.
Lot of money. Brings a lot of others into the equation.
Yeah. this one has a lot of tech,. well,. all of it!
Ade
I loughed when you said over the BMW. You have no experience in motorcycles.
You think the BMW aces the Triumph in every department? Just curious. I have ridden the new GS of course. Absolutely flawless bike, review not up yet. Loved it but the Triumph is definitely a contender for the GS crown.
Ade
I'd have the KTM Super Adventure over this, sorry,
I did a review of that bike and really liked it! Alas, the dealer is too far from me to give me that sense of local comfort.
Ade
better of road but not as good on the road where they will spend most of there time..
@@tommillar2821 Yep. true.
Ade
Yeah , try go 180 full luggage without wobble HAHAH ktm then will blame that there are limits settled by top case and side case manufacturers , BUT ReaDy TO RaCe HAHAHAHA
BMW is the better bike. Period. Don't settle for anything else.
Lots of GS fans in the world. Great bike. I rode it, review coming soon. Faultless too. Comes down to preference and budget.
Ade
they go wrong just as often,
