Holy Sh%$!!!!! The Tiger? The FIRST time ever in a real comparo that it wins. You guys must not be on the BMW payroll like most testers. I love my 2016 XCa so much I'm turning it into a 2019 XCa.

I came to the same conclusion last fall, bought the Tiger 800. I don't ride trails or rough terrain, but lots of gravel roads and 2 lane pavement. The GS was my other consideration...the AT is just to tall for me. I have no regrets.

I took the Tiger onto a gravel road with huge chunky gravel, and it was like a magic carpet ride. I love it!

Thank you for such a thorough review in parts 1&2 - first class review and now a new subscriber to your channel. 10/10!

Great review guys! Looks like you are having a blast while reviewing the bikes. (And what amazing roads you have there!)

I did not see that coming. Thanks for that guys!!

Best KZfaq channel! Congratulations

You guys put these bikes to the TEST. Now THAT'S a complete review. Well done.

Great video guys... And really enjoyed seeing some of Romania's scenery... beautiful!

Great review! Thanks so much! I love your style of review - no nonsense and all about 'how it rides', NOT what the spec's say! Congrats!

Great reviews with some surprises, thanks.

Love your videos...you guys are fun to watch and offer a lot of helpful information. Keep it up!!

Realy great test with best comments and pictures!

You guys are amazing! Very good review from real world riders, amazing camera work, real proffesionals. I have just found my favourite channel! And... i have now put Romania as a "must visit place" for this summer with the bike. I am mot a tent guy, so i hope there is signs saying "rooms" along the roads. ;)

The best useful review I've seen and waited for. As you said, it's about how are you going to use the bike. Very surprising ending.... the key point I needed to make my decision for the british one. Great job guys. It would be a great help an instruction video on how to properly setup suspensions when you come on-road or off-road. Great job guys!! and Cheers from Panamá

Great review - Thanks guys! Eventually, it is very depends on the feeling of the rider with the motorcycle... I choose the F850GS and enjoy every moment with it. Keep up the good work and make life a ride ;-)

Oh man, you guys make the best ADV videos by far. This was awesome to watch. I loved the surprise plot twist at the end (I ride a Tiger) and the funny very last bit. :-D

LOVED the review I’m going to eventually get a Triumph Tiger 800 xcx when I graduate with my engineering degree. I just love the looks of the bike, economy, cost of ownership, and this review showed it to be the best overall riding experience. Going to get those side cases though

Great camera footage, riding, review and scenery, what more could you ask more ! Your accents are pretty cool to !

Fantastic review and channel

Awesome video and storyline... thank you so much.

Your videos are getting better. This was particularly well done. You have a good videographer with you! He/she did well

excellent review and the enviroment of the road amazing views, great bikes also, congrats for the video, and cheers from Merida, Venezuela, keep posting always wachting, love the sound of the africa twin ¡¡¡

Love the conclusion....not expecting it

I like your videos. Well done! 👍🏍

Wow I never knew Romania was so beautiful awesome video guys Africa twins my favorite

Not my kind of bike but brilliant review gents, doesnt get much more thorough than that and the scenery looked amazing !

Great video and review. Loved it. I think all three of these are great bikes.

Awesome review, keep up the good work! … oh yes, and I agree with the Triumph!

Hohooo, da, traseul dinspre Salciua spre Rimet, Bradesti sau Ponor...Huda lui Papara si Vanatarile Ponorului. Dementiala zona! Fain clip! Keep'em coming ;)

Ai ui! Careful with those muddy tracks mate!! Just like Bob Marley said: "Get up! Stand up! Stand up on those foot pegs!!" Great video! Keep them coming!!

Great review, it's great to hear riders talking about things that matter and recognising each bike has its strengths. I have a 2011 Tiger, and everything you say is true (especially about having little low down torque). It's not the best at one thing, but a great allrounder. I'd definitely buy the new version. If only I could keep up with my GS friends off-road - then it would be perfect. Thanks guys

Good fair and comprehensive review guys!

Nice review! :)

Good stuf! Thanks, great work . 👏👍

great vid guys and really helped in my research for an adventure bike. also, romania looks absolutely stunning so it goes onto the bucket list.

Great channel

Muy bueno el informe... Y muy buena edición... La verdad es que las tres motos son excelentes, y sin dudas la elección es muy personal... Gracias por las imágenes!!!

Great video and a really beautiful landscape!! So the number 2 on both areas is the best overral!!

Romania should be on everyones bucket list. So amazing!

Just bought a Tiger too, great off road and goes like a sports bike on road.

Watched again,thks guys.

awesome channel

Thanks for the review guys, I know it must have been very hard work. Would the R1250GS HD have been too big of a bike on that adventure or is it not an issue as far as weight and size?? I'm really leaning toward the 1250GS HD b/c I am interested in the shift cam, the 850 doesn't have that. Your thoughts are appreciated fellas. Thanks.

I went with the 2019 Tiger 800 can't wait to take it off road. I already love it on pavement. Great reviews...you guys have the best job😁

A huge surprise when y'all said you'd buy the Tiger. I think I'd take your advice if my riding were 50/50 highway and off road. But, my riding is more 90/10 highway/off road (and the off road is just gravel roads, fire/logging roads), so mine would be the Africa Twin.Keep making the great videos, guys!

Another great review guys, thanks. i guess another reason to buy these bikes would be the amount of accessories available from each manufacturer. For me, i have the Tiger but whats great about motorcycling is we all make our own choices and that variety is cool.

Well done lads. Excellent production. You do know you have set the bar pretty high now?

Good review,

My brother in law lives in Romania. This video has convinced me to go visit.

Thanks for your great comparison! Could you please tell me how tall you are

guys, you are doing great job ! Romania is beautiful country and looking forward to be there on my GS in September. Greetings from Czech

Great video, guys. I'd love to own one of these bikes one day. The 1000-1200cc ADV bikes are too big and the 650s are too small. These are perfect. Beautiful footage and excellent editing too. I didn't know Romania was so beautiful either. And a surprise ending. I love Triumph's triples and you guys didn't talk about it too much so I was happy to see it on top in the end. One suggestion: put some info on the screen: weight, price, seat height, horsepower. Compare the bikes like that. Thanks!

I just bougth an African Twin and its just amazing

Awesome video guys... Could you also compare luggage system for all 3 manufacturers...

The grand tour for the cars and DriveMag for the bikes!!! Keep walking guys!!!

Great Bike comparison in a beautiful area! Could you also tell something about Romania (recommendations for Tours)?

It was a big surprise your final decision!, I was expecting something completely different. But I'm agree with that. Perhaps the most beautiful one.. Africa twin, the best engine sound.. Tiger and it also has a lot of package options to pick up from the retailer.

You are correct sir. The Triumph Tiger 800 is the best all around bike. That’s why I bought the same bike you tested.

Awesome review Christian RIP

Thumbs up to your camera man! Great review made better with superior video.

Halo, Can you provide the truck you have performed the tests of those bikes? Thanks in advance.

Romania is beautiful! What tires were you using and do you recommend them?

Great review and honest opinions....funny how outcomes aren't so clear cut.

Cool videos beautiful country. I just rode my 2015 Tiger Xcx800 2100 miles (3400km) through Glacier park, Beartooth pass, Bighorns and every kind of road in between. It does do pretty well all around. Thanks for one of the best real world comparisons I've seen on bikes.

Adorée 😍😍😍😍

Did both the GS and Africa Twin have an Arrow Exhaust?

Just out of interest how tall are you guys, which bike do you think would suit the taller biker 6’4

Love your accent dude!!

Really glad the BMW redeemed itself off road. Does it have a steering damper? What if the adventure to be launched has progressive springs and a wider electronic adjustment range for the suspension also in front to provide the same off road handling but for added luggage weight and better on road handling?

hahaha, great ending, after the final decision. I'm still in the market for the ATAS Manual Transmission (though it will be a while as I just bought a H-D Ultra Classic) because I have to take into consideration that for many long trips I will have Ms Wolf with me. Two-up in all riding aspects changes everything. The larger fuel range in remote Canada and Alaska will be as important as some of the other factors. So, the ATAS still has me hooked for that future purchase.

Would be nice if you could make a similar review for tires. What is best if you do both twisties and off road. If you could only have one set of tires for this review, what would you choose?

Dear Friends... you made a great job.

A bit later now? I’m between the 850 GS and the 790 Adv R.... any thoughts, comments...???

That was a great review and really helpful. That is the first review that says the AT is good on-road riding fast - I was soooooo surprised. If it is better than a Tiger, it must be very good. I've ridden the original 800 Tiger, and it was sensational on road. Everyone is raving about the AT as an off-road option (apart from the soft suspension) so I was surprised it came last there. I'm wondering if your opinions would have been different on the standard AT, as that is lower, with a lower seat height and is lighter than the DCT. This would have made it less intimidating off-road. Cheers, Campbell

Great video! Would love to see a comparison with the ktm 1090 adv r too!

well done, I take your comment on my decision for next bike

Nice review. You actually can't go wrong with either of those brands. Just choose what's please you the most. One thing is to let someone influencing you (which is the worst case) and the other, ride and test on your own (which is the best way to choose a bike). Personally, if I had to choose on paper and with my wallet, my hart goes to Honda: most reliable of those three, much cheaper to maintain, fun to ride (DCT is so freaking step ahead over manual clutching), looks amazing, what a sound! If I was doing only off-road I would go with something lighter... like the secret yet to come Africa Twin model 2021 oscillating somewhere between 700cc & 850cc, that is apparently coming to us at the end of 2020... This going to be a hot cake! Cheers!

Beautiful! Getting better n better! Q: Why run through the rut when you have hard packed dirt in the middle?😂

what bike going to break down 1st? the bmw then the tiger

I now want to live in Romania. Can you get me a visa, please? :) Great pair of videos, but now I want to ask why you did not have a fourth rider on a V-Strom? I had the 650 version for 5 years and it was superb in my opinion. I am sure the 1000 version would measure up well compared to these. Thanks for the videos.

Great video was great to hear the tiger is what you would all buy but you also was clear that it is down to choice simply as there isn’t much between the bikes of today and as for me it’s Tiger every time 🏍🏍🏍

Like your videos, I'm curious when you review the KTM 790 adventure R.

Tiger is the Range Rover of adventure bikes I have ridden Africa twin, r1200gs, ducati multistrada enduro and triumph tiger but tiger was the most relaxing and comfortable motorcycle I loved it

Wow. What a final choice.!

Still missing the (Off-) Road Maps of your beautiful trips in Romania...

I know this question is outside of the video, but I am interested in the Honda CB500X with the Rally Raid level II kit with spoke wheels. Do you know about it? If so, what is your impression?

Honda should really consider bringing a 650-850ccm "Mini" Africa Twin. The big one is great and really capable Offroad, but i think its just too much for normal People.

Buna treaba baieti! I would choose the BMW for the safety: cornering ABS. Also tubeless tires, luggage options, low seat, cruise control. V-am pupat, din Australia

Nice video bro. Can you make a review like this but for the f750 gs ? Thanks

Thks guys.Looked forward to your comments.

Ha ha, brilliant conclusion at the end. Great reviews!

I noticed that starting in 2018 the Africa Twin stopped getting constant praise for feeling light, nimble, manageable etc. The competition did get better, but they also started using the taller, heavier ATAS model for all reviews. I cant help but wonder if pushing the ATAS on everything is hurting the Africa Twin?

Guys, very nice video as usual but on some things i have some doubts: a) if your knee were hitting the edge of the tank going downhill (whatever bike) you were riding it wrong. Downhill you shift the weight on the back of the bike with you butt well behind the line of the pegs, toes of your feet up and arms consequently a bit stretched and you clinch the bike between your legs. If you stay like that no way you can hit the edge of the tank (unless you were hitting hit badly also on flat). It would have been a bit different had you the problem going uphill. B) from what i saw on the video you were riding these quite conservatively basically on gravel road. Those condition you can tackle even with a street bike. You want to find what these bike can do what, you'd need something more technical and push these a bit harder, then you find out which one is cut for the off-road and which just have the look. C) why the AT adventure sport, while in terms of dimensions compared with the other 2 the AT standard would have been likely a more coherent choice? That said great video and thanks for sharing it with us.

Good job, gentlemen. Certainly all three are good bikes and at the end it might be a matter of taste. My favorites would be the GS and the Tiger, however not to forget about that the Tiger despite its marvelous triple engine has quite little torque at low rpm which disqualifies a bit for offroad.

Glad to see FPS Russia is still making KZfaq videos

I did not see Tiger on your Russian Road of Bones trip. So dropping lies GS is better?

This video makes me want to go to Romania with adventure bike.

Interesting conclusion but well considered I thought.

ya great video in many ways, but you need to be fair in your comparison. A manual transmission ATAS should have been used and perhaps even similar bike protection, even if it had to be added. Also, was the ATAS tank always full off-road when you were comparing it to a bike that hold 8 litres less of fuel? I realize there’s lots of variables, but before you go telling everyone which bike is better ‘offroad’ please try to keep your testing somewhat fair. anyway, great work anyhow and i would certainly love to watch a fair re-do. thanx, Clay D
