Great video. I was considering purchasing one and trading in my Tiger 800 but I recently had a repair bill for 2,500 $/EUR just as my warranty ended for parts that I wasnt at fault (sudden failures). Now I'm scared of this bike's reliabilty and while I'm sad to leave the three-cylinder behind, its gonna be hard for me to ever really trust the brand again. I was considering Honda which bikes are made to last, but the Africa Twin Adventure Sports is not as smooth rider as the Tiger. Also tested GS old and new (1300). Multistrada V4S, KTM SAS ... and maybe besides the Ducati's testastretta engine I still haven't found anything that I like, so at the moment I'm stuck with Triumph.
@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles12 күн бұрын
Thank you! I'm sorry to hear about your issue with the 800 - what year is the motorcycle? I haven't heard too many problems with reliability on these bikes. Sometimes it just comes down to bad luck :-( The GS boxer engines are quite smooth, but I don't like how large they are and overall design is lacking. The new 1300 looks like a microwave on wheels haha. The Ducatis are wonderful but are designed mostly for road riding. I haven't seen too many people take those off road. Shame you didn't like the Honda - the Africa Twins are really cool bikes. KTM might be a nice choice as well. Have you looked at the Harley Pan Am? I haven't had a chance to ride one but the V twin is quite nice and I like the design. Here's a sleeper to consider - the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. A close friend of mine has one and I've put quite a few miles on it. Very smooth ride, very nice manageable height. Great on and off road. I will be doing a head to head review as soon as our schedules align!
@madcannon316211 күн бұрын
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Thanks for replying! My Tiger 800 is from 2019, and I agree with you that I might just had bad luck. My stepfather has a 1250 GS which I get to ride often, it is not a flawless bike but I agree with you that they are smooth and overall nice bikes as long as you refrain from riding them in the city. It is simply too bulky to ride comfortably between lanes. I have yet to see the new 1300 ADV in person, but yeah, it looks weird hahah... The Africa Twin was the perfect replacement for me, however I found the throttle too jerky, quickshifter did not engage at times, dashboard for me is either too small or saturated with information that at my age is getting hard to read, and the left handlebar control needs more buttons! (irony). Furthermore, no TPMS in 2024? Sigh. However, after all this rant, the bike wasnt that bad, just not the unicorn that I though it would be. I've looked briefly at the Pan Am. A friend of mine demoed it and was left flabbergasted. He loved the engine. I have not consider it because lack of dealerships in my area, thus it would be a pain to service. Hmm... I didn't even consider the Supere Tenere 1200, will have to take a look at that. Anyways, I'm gonna pay a visit to Suzuki soon, they released the GSX-S1000GX not too long ago and it piqued my curiosity. Also, will revisit the Kawasaki Versys 1000. Its old, heavy and might need an update, but its reliable for sure.

Even a beginner rider can eventually gain the required skills on an unsuitable bike over the course of a year. Doesn't mean that the bike was a good beginner bike after all!
@@user-rl8kr1uj6c I see what you are saying now, thanks for explaining! I agree, and that is why is started on a BMW G310R. It didn't have a quickshifter or any riding modes. It did have ABS, which I would recommend for every beginner rider. Still, I do believe the Monster would be a good beginner bike for those not wanting to buy multiple bikes in a short period of time. If you start in Urban mode, you can develop all the same skills you would develop if you started on a 400-600cc bike. If you see the comments, many beginner riders agree.
I’m not fkn short so I just hop on the damn thing with out thinking
You're awesome!
I imagined sloth from the goonies while reading this 😂
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles no that’s not what I meant by this
That's the right jersey my friend!
If u mount ur bike the last way ur a psycho
🤣🤣 That's how a lot off off road riding instructors recommend haha
looks the same to me. fytb 😂
😂 one is long, one is short
Left foot on left peg, let the clutch out, mount rolling. Works well on any surface, with any size load provided you’ve got 10ft or so to roll, and doesn’t look clumsy.
That's a good one!

Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate your engagement and positive effect on this video's reach. Exposing people to long form content is exactly how you grow a subscriber base. You may not want to subscribe, and that's fine, but this video has resulted in many subscribers with nice crossover to the long format video.
Great video. I was considering purchasing one and trading in my Tiger 800 but I recently had a repair bill for 2,500 $/EUR just as my warranty ended for parts that I wasnt at fault (sudden failures). Now I'm scared of this bike's reliabilty and while I'm sad to leave the three-cylinder behind, its gonna be hard for me to ever really trust the brand again. I was considering Honda which bikes are made to last, but the Africa Twin Adventure Sports is not as smooth rider as the Tiger. Also tested GS old and new (1300). Multistrada V4S, KTM SAS ... and maybe besides the Ducati's testastretta engine I still haven't found anything that I like, so at the moment I'm stuck with Triumph.
Thank you! I'm sorry to hear about your issue with the 800 - what year is the motorcycle? I haven't heard too many problems with reliability on these bikes. Sometimes it just comes down to bad luck :-( The GS boxer engines are quite smooth, but I don't like how large they are and overall design is lacking. The new 1300 looks like a microwave on wheels haha. The Ducatis are wonderful but are designed mostly for road riding. I haven't seen too many people take those off road. Shame you didn't like the Honda - the Africa Twins are really cool bikes. KTM might be a nice choice as well. Have you looked at the Harley Pan Am? I haven't had a chance to ride one but the V twin is quite nice and I like the design. Here's a sleeper to consider - the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. A close friend of mine has one and I've put quite a few miles on it. Very smooth ride, very nice manageable height. Great on and off road. I will be doing a head to head review as soon as our schedules align!
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Thanks for replying! My Tiger 800 is from 2019, and I agree with you that I might just had bad luck. My stepfather has a 1250 GS which I get to ride often, it is not a flawless bike but I agree with you that they are smooth and overall nice bikes as long as you refrain from riding them in the city. It is simply too bulky to ride comfortably between lanes. I have yet to see the new 1300 ADV in person, but yeah, it looks weird hahah... The Africa Twin was the perfect replacement for me, however I found the throttle too jerky, quickshifter did not engage at times, dashboard for me is either too small or saturated with information that at my age is getting hard to read, and the left handlebar control needs more buttons! (irony). Furthermore, no TPMS in 2024? Sigh. However, after all this rant, the bike wasnt that bad, just not the unicorn that I though it would be. I've looked briefly at the Pan Am. A friend of mine demoed it and was left flabbergasted. He loved the engine. I have not consider it because lack of dealerships in my area, thus it would be a pain to service. Hmm... I didn't even consider the Supere Tenere 1200, will have to take a look at that. Anyways, I'm gonna pay a visit to Suzuki soon, they released the GSX-S1000GX not too long ago and it piqued my curiosity. Also, will revisit the Kawasaki Versys 1000. Its old, heavy and might need an update, but its reliable for sure.
Looked better before you messed with it
Looks fine to me
All comes down to personal preference!
At least most manufacturers purposefully add connectors near it and make the tail stalk easy to remove, they clearly aren't happy about these either!
Wow you right
