My legs are a bit short for the Tiger. But I agree. The Tiger brings more performance versus the bells and whistles of the BMW. I still think the BMW will bring more value to me specifically.

I have the 2024 Tiger 850 Sport. Put 3500km on it in the last 45 days (when I bought it) I’m 6’4 and about 220lbs. Have had multiple R1’s, Streetnaked CB’s and ZX7R ninjas in my youth. 37 now so was looking for a non-boring adv style comfy bike. Tiger 850 to me sounds like the crossplane R1 since I already owned a 2011 R1. Its the most comfortable bike Ive ever had. It’s a triple and the torque and initial pull upto 120-150km is supersport territory. If you havent test ridden it, do it. I’d buy this machine over and over again. 11/10

I’ve owned both, my last bike was the tiger and my new bike is the bmw. For me the bmw is the winner , I prefer the ride as I find it more comfortable, the fueling is way better especially noticeable at low speeds plus I prefer the tech on the bmw. The only thing I did prefer on the tiger was personally I found the engine to have less vibrations. Oh and so far at least the bmw dealer experience has been better than the triumph which ink actually found to be quite poor. Both bikes are great though.

Where Iive, the F800GS is far more expensive than the 850. With its heavier weight despite the ridiculously small fuel tank, it's easy to see which is the more compelling option to me coz I do a lot of commuting. I really don't care for all the electronic farkles coz to me these are just additional points of failure.

The 850 sport does not come with even an option of a cruise control. For a road biased adventure bike, I think it’s a missed opportunity. The 800GS can be speced up to include the Dynamic and Enduro modes - the equivalent is not even an option on the 850 sport. The 800GS has the option of the dynamic ESA which is not an option on the 850sport Triumphs quote the dry weight- so in effect with the equivalent wet weight I imagine the 850 sport is 192 + 18 ~ 210 kg which is not that much lighter than the 800 GS. Personally I find that the Tiger feels more top heavy. There are other aspects to consider for such motorbikes. On the 800GS there is the option to go for a larger OEM touring screen (which needs a new mounting bracket). It’s not cheap but then the option to have a gps mount over the TFT screen is quite neat. On the tiger there are after market options to mount a gps similarity but then it makes the screen adjustment a bit unwieldy and there are significant vibrations. Overall the BMWs have a very neat arrangement with the wonder wheel to connect to the navigation options - both with a mobile or a nav unit. Feature for feature it’s not an easy comparison as for the electronic options it’s only available on 900 Tiger range but overall the 900 works out much more expensive than the 800GS

@@lowlandsrider the problem with up specing the bike is the price. Bmw should lead from the front and just offer the equipment as standard in particular cruise. All bikes should come with this feature by now. Bmw love there extra options and it clearly shows. I wanted to compare as per standard to standard.
@EireRider.motorcycle.adventureАй бұрын
@@lowlandsrider it's 192kg without the rider vs 227kg. It's a remarkable difference you can't explain that one away. They should of made the bike lighter .. clearly they chose not too.
@lowlandsriderАй бұрын
BMW quotes the wet weight so I expect that’s with 90% fuel and all the other fluids - oil, coolant etc Triumph is the dry weight- so in a usable condition with all the fluids I would expect it to be closer to 210. Cheers

For the price difference, BMW gets equipment that Triumph does not offer. Whoever tries the BMW semi-active suspension, ABS for cornering, dynamic active traction control, an incomparably better TFT panel than on the Triumph and an absolutely more powerful and specific engine, will choose a BMW. Because BMW is a luxury sedan on two wheels. BMW is BMW.
@EireRider.motorcycle.adventureАй бұрын
@@Depp500 I mentioned what extra equipment the BMW has over the Triumph in relation to heated handgrips, hand guardsand a far better TFT display with better connectivity. Triumph is a premium brand of motorcycle not to mention it's history. It's been making motorcycles well before BMW got involved. Please man the difference in power is negligible. ESA is optional equipment and excluded in this comparison. This is a fair comparison but hey everyone has their opinions.
@Depp500Ай бұрын
91 Nm is what Triumph doesn't even have with the 900 GT Pro. Triumph is definitely a premium brand, but that's normal for a realistic comparison with BMW. In addition, Triumph is your domestic brand.. I bought a motorcycle in that class and tried literally everything in the ADV class 800-900. Tastes are different, but if you have to count 20k euros from your own pocket, then it becomes max. objective, of course, according to one's own preferences.
@EireRider.motorcycle.adventureАй бұрын
@@Depp500 domestic brand? How so? I would think BMW is more domestic in Ireland than Triumph. The Triumph has a 3 cylinder engine vs the parallel. I'm sure they could have pushed the power more out of it if they wanted too. Anyway 82nm and 85bhp is still pretty good. My F800GSA has 85bhp and 83nm, damn good for a bike that's 10 years old. 😅
