    Thank you Sir!! I'm loving the Tiger so far. The Speed Triple RR is something else!! I bought Triumph's exhaust hanger bracket to remove the passenger pegs and put the EVO tail tidy on. Now it looks like a race bike. Hope all is well with you Sir and please keep in touch. Peace Terry!

    Greetings from Scotland and great to hear about your experience on the GT Explorer, Mine is sitting waiting for me to pick it up from my Triumph dealer in Edinburgh. I previously had an Africa Twin Adventure but after only 400 miles I hit gravel and totally wrote it off in June, I'm about recovered from many broken bones and my new metal in my arms can only make me stronger !! lol. Anyway the insurance paid out and I immediately bought myself the new tiger gt explorer. Ive gone for the Snowdonia White (Snowdonia being the highest mountain in Wales !!). Hopefully I'll pick it up in the next two weeks. The lucky thing for me is I live in the very far northwest Scottish Highlands and the roads are just absolutely perfect for riding motorbikes. I previously had a triumph XCA 1200 back about 5 years ago so looking forward to the whole new bike !! thank you for sharing your thoughts on it.

    Sorry to hear you crashed and got hurt! 😞 The new Tiger is a completely different bike than my 2020 Tiger XCX. Night and day actually. Mine is Safire Black and my dealer says I have the only one in the USA at the moment. The engine is CRAZY!! It sounds like a twin until you get up in revs. It has a lot more low end torque than my last one and it sounds amazing too! You are going to LOVE the GT Explorer! The riding position is perfect and the Ohlins suspension is a radical improvement over the previous MP suspension on the last generation. Scotland, Ireland and England are definitely on my bucket list as well as the rest of Europe as well. Good luck with the new Tiger and keep the rubber side down! 😎 Let me know here when do get the bike and let me know what you think. Peace. ✌

    @@ttrguy9952 the old 1200 i had was a heavy bike so hoping it will be lighter and the tech on it looks great. I'm 6'2 so hopefully its a good riding position. Scotland is the place to go especially a thing called the "North coast 500" its like the Scottish version of Route 66 but so much better :) I'll try to keep it shiny side up as we say, funny thing I traded in my Rocket GT for the Honda Africa twin but only had the twin about 3 months before the accident.

    It's the MRA X-CREEN with the universal mounting. It's explained in my "Add Ons" video to show how it works.

    I have a 2015 HD Harley Davidson with bad knees and thinking seriously about going with this beautiful bike! How do you think two up riding would be?

    It would be excellent for 2 up riding. The passenger would have a commanding view. This bike is so different than my 2020 Tiger XCX it's incredible.
