We're all brave to buy Triumph as it inevitably does shake itself apart - a healthy amount of patience and money must be set aside for the middle life of these bikes. My biggest gripe though is the lockdown of the service manual combined with the apple-like lockdown of "service needs to be done by certified dealer and details updated with us" idea. As you mentioned - no updates come along to say drop that mode-change behaviour. All this adds up to a pretty user-hostile product. It is only a great product until it leaves the shop - after that you are only of interest as you choose to go back for original farkle or "certified service".

I have a '20 Rally (non-Pro), so I got to avoid the disappointment in the "skid plate" and lower protections. I bought it for a mission, the CO-BDR in '21, and it did it very well.

You have to toggle through submenu's of screens to find it. And it's only available on 2 out of the 4 screen themes! It would be nice to have a regular tach gauge, or when you choose the numerical value one, it gets rid of the 2 graph ones and can then put useful information in it's place. But no, you then end up with THREE tachometers on one screen!!

I had a 2022 RP it went thru two rear wheels due to pavement riding and broken spokes. Couldn’t trust it any more Count not recommend it to anyone

That’s an interesting claim. I have never heard of destroying a wheel from riding on pavement alone. In any case, I hope you found something else fun to ride. I know if I could have multiple bikes I would buy something different just to have it.

Watching your videos has convinced me to not buy one of these bikes. There are other bikes that are easier to maintain yourself.

Can’t argue with you there. I’m still glad you got something out of the video.

Lose the gay centerstand and forget about the unnecessary ride modes

I’m going with your suggestion on the center stand. It’s nice in the garage, but makes a lot of noise bouncing around on the trail.

@@BlueADV214 Good man. I couldn't get mine off fast enough when I first bought the 97 Tiger. Hated it, cut the majority off with an angle grinder until first service when I removed everything. Welded up and sold! Suggest you learn how to ride that bike without abs or power softening modes. You'll be much happier and a better rider. My ABS is a finger always on the brake lever ;)

@@Cacheola i like having the ABS on the front wheel, but I like not having any traction control or ABS at the rear wheel. As far as power, it’s got more than my skill level allows me to use… and I’m not sure how I would get any more. I already keep it in Sport/Off Road Pro.

Looks like your REAL off-road bike is the Husky behind you...and that's why I don't buy 500 pound bikes for off-road...they suck, all of them. "ADV" is just a marketing gimmick buzzword. They're literally putting V4, 180 horsepower Moto GP engineered Ducati race bikes out on the market with knobby tires and calling them "Adventure bikes" or ADV's...

lol, that one’s isn’t mine… but funny you mention it because I recently traded my Tiger for a ‘24 KTM 500 and love it! Makes exploring trails so much easier, fun, and safer.

I ran trailmax mission on my 2021 atas and they are at best 70/30 pavement. Poor in marble sized gravel! Won’t run them ever again.

I hear you… where you live/ride has an impact on tire choice. What are you running now?
