“Dead centre” almost choked on my crunchie nuts, good to see the bike being used in a real life review, excellent review.

Had test ride last Tuesday. Loved it. Pick up new Tiger Wednesday coming. Can't wait! Great review as ever.

Wasn’t initially impressed with the looks of the tft/dash but seeing it in operation in your previous walk around video and seeing it in operation think it’s better looking than the bigger tigers tft,tbh for most 80bhp is definitely enough power for enough fun with all the cameras about,great review as always,and totally agree with you regarding the new Highway Code rules.

Good review of this new bike, nice price for the spec. I like the your review approach of first walk around, longer review and then accessories

I like the acknowledging other riders thing too,whatever they're on . I don't always get it back, it doesn't matter, but most do

Hi 👋 Kate! Look at the positive thing: if Mike is going to complain about that “not so inviting” ice cream ethereal consequences, it means he didn’t get covid🤣. Another reason to visit Italy 🇮🇹, especially my beautiful Bologna, is that we have (not all, but) some state of art ice cream artisans. Anyway, I really like that bike, in its esthetics, but some more ponies would not have hurt. I would like to have a test ride. I’m pretty sure it would be fun. About riding in cold weather: I really don’t envy it. I mean I miss so much riding my bike, but if fatigue exceeds pleasure…I prefer waiting for spring. Yesterday I saw a colleague (he actually recognized me because I was into my car) and he looked like a playmobil puppet or a frozen cod riding a R1. Have a super nice week.

Thanks Kate for the rides, reviews and great content you provide on KZread. I noted your comments regarding pedestrians rights of way as you approach a side road, in the interests of your safety the terminology used by the highway code is: you should, and not you must, therefore if you feel threatened by the traffic behind or around you it is not mandatory to stop and wait for the pedestrians to cross! The highway code is very good at being clear on what you must do, for example you must stop at a stop sign, or you must not enter a yellow box junction if it isn't clear except if turning right. So for your own safety and for the continuation of this great channel, please have a read through and understand what is really being said in the highway code and promote this to your viewers to keep all bikers and road users safe.

I am definitely with you on the new highway code ruling, it is absolute madness. As far as I'm concerned, a pedestrian's place is on the pavement and bikes and cars place is on the road. If a pedestrian wishes to cross the road they wait until that road is clear. as far as I'm concerned, the only exception to that rule is a pedestrian crossing where pedestrians have right of way

Great review - I traded my 125bhp bike for one with 90bhp and I love it. I was for ever having to hold back the more powerful machine and it was so frustrating, I’d pull onto a main road accelerate up to the speed limit in second gear and then what - click up a couple more gears and pootle along at 2k revs. You have to work a less powerful bike much harder and it’s much more fun - it’s why 600cc sports bikes are so much better than their 1,000cc siblings. I live in Southport - I think I’ll avoid the pier cafe ice cream from now on!!! Keep up the good work.

Same here. Swapped an R1 for a 700 Tracer. So much better all round.

Nice ride out! I think for me is it really worth the extra £££ vs others..(say the Honda or Tracer 7). Sure its got extra oompf but you need that? Yeah spring day rides are just🌻 P.s For me I'd get the Tenere at this price point. Oh dont get me started on the changes.

Navigation doesn't understand twisty s , put you into city traffic curves instead. About six plus inches of snow here since Saturday and currently 2.7 C outside. Procrastinating till Monday to shovel the snow. Or gas up the snow blower ... hmmmm. I really enjoy my KLE650 Versys. Glad you had a good time Kate, take care as always.

Looks like a pretty competent bike Kate and at 80bhp more than enough to propel anyone at a speed they should be able to handle in they can deal with acceleration. The fact that it doesn't vibrate too much through the pegs or bars is a bonus. You must have been saving the "dead centre of town" up for this trip! Too bad about your ice-cream. You just need to wait until summer when the ingredients might be palatable! Triumphs do tend to be the business.

Question for Kate and her viewers: Need bike advise. I am down to Tiger 660 sport, vs. NC750 DCT, vs. Versys 650 LT. It is important that the bike be comfortable on a loooong tour. Any recommendations? NC is not at all comfortable for a 700 mile day, but the DCT is attractive in West Texas. My Goldwing is super comfortable, and has cruise control, and heated grips, but is just too big and heavy for daily city commuting. The reverse gear not withstanding. I had a Bonneville, super for commuting, but killed my legs at the end of a 10 hour riding day.

It's a pity Triumph didn't develop this with a 19 inch front wheel in mind, without compromising the handling too much, as it'd be more surefooted on the occasional gravel track, paired with some Pirelli Scorpion Rally tyres or similar. Having said that, if Honda pulled their finger out and did a spoked rimmed version of the 500X with 70HP there'd be little to touch it for a cheap, reliable adv touring bike. They're rumoured to be bringing out a new NX (dominator) based on the 500 twin so maybe that's why they're going down a more road oriented route with the CB. Will definitely book a test ride on the Tiger Sport though....see what all the fuss is about :)

Equally I have the same rights as any other tax payer in that I ought tobe equally as safe. It's a sad world when you start thinking paying road tax to drive gives you safeth priorities. And where wouls that end - my van costs ten times mkre than my motorbike to tax - do I get ten times more lower over you when you ride your motorcycle? Is that the world you want to live in? Many car drivers will see us as 'bloody motorcyclists' when we ride...
