Great video mate. I’m looking to add an RP to the garage very soon. Will certainly go more off road tyres but seeing what you’ve done on road tyres gives me a lot more confidence in the 20/80 range rather than 50/50. I want to do what you’re doing and camp also. Very cool videos man!

Great ride mate! Thanks again for posting... Yeah the brown snakes can go you for sure. He was thinking about it cause he flattened his head for a few seconds before he moved on. I haven't been chased by one but suspect he would have caught you in your heavy boots and riding gear, so good move staying still...

Every second of this video is why I want to add an adventure bike to the garage!..

I went to a beach here in India which is 700kms from my city, on a 160cc bike in 15 hours, god that was crazy. Love ur bike man

I enjoyed your video. Some narly tracks. Great to see that Eastern Brown (from a distance). I'll be interested in your tyre choice. I've chosen a Motoz Tractionator Adventure rear and Bridgestone AX41 front. Hopefully fitting them soon to my Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Also getting my head around the TPMS as the new tyres will be at different pressures to the Triumph settings. Hopefully, you'll find that Lost City at some stage on another Motorcycle Adventure. 👍😁

Great adventure! I've had the Rallz on my 900 for about 3200 miles (~5km). I haven't seen as much wet/muddy/slick conditions as you've shown, but am very happy with them in other off-pavement conditions. They're quite loud on pavement, but grip well and have given me no reason to wish for something more road oriented (other than the noise factor). They're either getting a little quieter or I'm getting more used to them.

It’s a beautiful spot mate. I’ve spent a fair bit of time on the plateau, but in my 4wd. It looks fun on a bike! That second trail you took to get to the Lost City is actually the easier of the 3 or four routes, but there’s so many tracks in the initial 1km of that route, that it’s easy to accidentally wind up on a track with bog holes and deep ruts. Sometimes you’ll see where 4wd groups have left markers in the trees to show the easier route. There’s an absolute tonne of tracks through that area, leading to incredible scenery. It’s easy to eat up half a day and only make it to 2 or three spots.

Nice adventure you had!

thanks for the vid, as another tiger900 rider enjoy them, in fact if you ever want to catch up for a ride let me know. Some quick feedback. The snake you saw was actually you a tiger snake, not an eastern brown. The tyres, I HIGHLY recommend the Pirrelli Scorption Rally STR, I've got them on mine and honestly you can't tell the difference on tar compared to stock, but offroad they are amazing. Hence why they are the default on T700 and the ducati desert x. Finally, I highly recommend checking out steg pegz and pivot pegz, they completely changed the offroad feel for me on the tiger900. Additionally I would recommend the barkbusters and replacing the stock bash plate and protection, neither will actually take a hit on the types of riding you're doing.

You’re very brave doing those roads on those tyres mate

Nice trip, definitely need some off road tires though. I'm not digging the brown snake, nope!

Gday Mate I have the Tiger 900 rally and I have just installed the Motoz Dualventure on front & GPS on the rear. They are great for on and off-road. I had Rallz (front) and adventure (rear) before which I thought could be better for on-road grip so i changed them out. The dualventure is still as noisy as the Rallz on the front. The GPS on the rear does not provide as much traction as the Motoz Adventure but its far better on-road. I will be commuting far more than doing off-road laps of Australia so I think its a good compromise so far.

Another great vid , love that you centre around Sydney. Kyle Bradshaw does very comprehensive video's for adventure tyre's.

Agree on the poor seat design.Surprised you did not ride with off rd tyres especially as you said you were recovering from a knee issue.Nice looking trail for sure.Thks.

You've given me confidence to be a bit more adventurous with the stock tyres on my 900 Rally. (At least until we get some proper rain!)

Hi, I immediately changed the tyres on my RP when I got it - put on Bridgestone Trailmax Mission. Done 10k kms in 6 months (70% dirt) .... Great off and on road but with a little more noise on the front when on tarmac. Barkbusters are a must also. Added some Lone Rider Motopegs which make a huge difference standing up. Some quality full height boots with solid ankle protection are a must also....

I’ve got a Motoz Tractionator GPS on the rear and a Dualventure on the front of my Suzuki XF650. Both tubeless, with tubes fitted on 19/17 wheels. They worked great on and off road in loose gravel and sand etc, but haven’t tried them in mud yet. I like the smoothness of the gps rear on the road, but it still hooks up great in the deep sand. I like a chunky front for off-road, because if the front grips that’s the most important thing for my confidence, and the rear will typically just follow. The DV was also good enough on the road, but I only tried it in the dry. I’m happy with the combination so far, but I’m riding a relatively light Suzuki which is fairly easy to handle on the proper dirt tracks, with a low seat height advantageous as well.

900 RP here as well. In Florida we have mostly deep sand but red clay in the Panhandle. I run a Dual Venture up front and a Tractionator Adventure in the Rear. The Adventure tire I think is amazing and the Rally should be even more so. But the Dual Venture is so loud on the road that I'm think of going more Road oriented when the time comes. Perhaps the Scorpion STR or Anakee Adventure. We'll see.

You actually did find the lost city. The lost city was a war time strategy. Exactly where you said they placed a heap of lighs through valley to make it look like Lithgow as Lithgow had a small arms factory. Made ammunition from memory. I use the rallyz on the front and gps on the rear about to swap to the rallyz on the rear. They whole noones plateau is like that road wise. Challenging area to ride but beautiful place to visit.

Those tires did no favours in getting around that corner. First thing I noticed on the bike was the road biased tires.

Michelin anakee wild, good tyres for road and dirt,

Hey man, nice adventure! On tyres... I'm running Motoz Rallyz on my Versys, had them on for about 1,000 km. Good traction and surprisingly great feel on pavement, but very noisy, especially straight ahead, quieter when cornering. Will probably try something else next time, just for less noise.

I'm seriously impressed with how far you got on the stock tires, I've done a few easy fire trails and gravel tracks on my RP and had zero confidence in them. I think the stock tires are the biggest mistake Triumph made with this bike, surely they could have offered an 80/20 tire as a factory option, even if it was only for the RP version. I'll be keeping an eye on here for others thoughts, I'm still battling with the battlaxe's but I've got my eye on a set of Mitas E07+ Dakar because my local Victorian tracks are more rocky and shaley than up north so I wanted the tougher carcass of the Dakar variant.

Tusk dsport if you can get them down under ?👍🤟nice vid maté spectacular views !!

I’m currently running Motoz adventure on the front and a dual venture on the rear of my 900 RP. I also ran the GPS’s on my 800 XCX. Both are great tyres the GPS is a lot quieter on the road but I have a lot more confidence with the more aggressive adventure on the front

Motoz tractionator adventure tyre I get about 7000km front 11000km rear, and adventure gps rear 15000km all tyres great grip and good feel.

Purchase the tyres for the riding style you enjoy the most (not always the same as the amount of riding you do!).

incredible area mate

Great video ride safe

Anakee Wild, or even MT21/d606 combo. If both fail Dunlop's Geomax should do the job.

It has been a while since you published this video, so I assume that you decided on tires. For what it is worth, I was running TKC 70 Rocks on my 1200 and they were great. I don't do as aggressive riding as you do but they were fantastic when I was off-road.

Lost city? Isn’t it referring to the rock formations that look like ruined walls etc?

not the GPS, either RALLZ or even ADVENTURE which is a good tyre road and offraod

I am happy with this tires here: HEIDENAU K 60 SCOUT

Check Continental Tkc80

Nice story. Dude! Are you Blind? That was the Lost City at the 10min mark. D606 for me on my Transalp 650V. Not sure what your Tiger weighs but my setup is about the 210Kg mark without me on her. ( Another 101Kg for me) they are a 50/50 Tubed tire. Gives you that ring of Confidence in the Narly Stuff. Even if my Skill level is still getting there. Kiaora.

Paying so much for the bike I would go where ever I want fuk the track condition - I’d leave the bike there 😂 failure
