Hey Johnny, I'm 62 and I own an 08 Tiger also. Its the only bike that can tour, commute, city riding and weekend excursions all with comfort. I paid 5,000 dollars for mine in USA. Mine had 11,650 when I bought it and its the most versatile motorcycle I've ever owned. It did everything so well I sold my car and I ride everyday. Also own a Suzuki DR 650. I ride them both.

Watched your ST 1300 vids and as an owner I totally agree with what you had to say. They are amazing bikes especially in large mountain passes in Canadian Rockies; it just doesn’t miss a beat and amazing in the twisties. I have a buddy of mine who has right hip issue, so went from Goldwing to Harley Road Glide and rides two up. I had a BMW F 800 GS at the time and let him ride it and two months latter he sold the Harley and bought a Yamaha 1200 Super Tenere. He no longer has hip issues while riding has no problem riding two up and it’s also shaft drive. Remember BMW means Bring More Wallet.

Good informative video, always quite fancied one of those. I had the sprint ST 1050 with same engine and it was faultless. Agree about the ZZR 1400, I loved mine but my 64 year old knees didn't after a tour of Scotland. Traded my sprint and ZZR n for a straight swap for a 17 plate GTR 1400. Great for touring just been round Belgium on it with the wife. Will look at those screen extenders as even though I have a tall screen I still get buffeting and to much wind noise that my Mic picks up for the video's I do GTR very heavy its OK for now as I am 6 ft 2 but some point will become to heavy as get older, so 1050 sport may be next bike. Liked and subbed.

I bought a 2007 Tiger 1050 in 2014. It had 24K miles on it. I paid $6K for it. It's been VERY reliable and now has 35K miles. The only unusual problem I had was when I went to upshift on my way to work and the external shift linkage broke. I had no way to shift with my foot. I pulled over, used my hand to put it into 3rd and rode 10 miles home with no problem. The engine is so torquey, I easily pulled 3rd from a standstill. The $125 replacement shifter had been redesigned and has worked perfectly since I installed it. I have never experienced the hot start issue that Jonny talks about. I would highly recommend this bike.

Recently rode a new Tiger 900 and sorely disappointed at the nasty note and vibes. This got me thinking about how stupid Triumph engineers are to have ruined a great motor and classic sound. I am looking for a used Tiger 1050 as a type. I am like you. I bought a 2015 Ducati Multi with and had everything but that was a few years ago and I got a good deal on it. I don't care how many bells and whistles they put on the bikes now, 25k for a loaded GS is insane. I just ain't gonna do it. Cheers from across the pond.

I bought a brand new GSXR1000K9 back in 2009. It was the most expensive thing I'd ever bought. It was £9500 with alarm, crash bungs, tinted screen, and tail-tidy. In 2012 I almost totally stopped riding it. I bought a banged-up old DR600 and... somehow it was just more fun to ride. I was a lot less precious with it, that's for sure, but also the noise, the power delivery, the involvement, it was just *better.* So now I'm looking for a bike again and I've always wanted a ZZR1400 but I just I'll be disappointed with it, because everything is disappointing, and I'll ride it too damn fast.

I wouldn't feel too sorry for the smaller rider, 97% of blikes out there are suited to them. I'd love a Royal Enfield but they don't cater for people over 6 ft. Neither do Triumph with 95% of there bikes. If there is any hightism going on in the motorbike industry it's the tall who are discriminated against lol " if there is such a thing "

Sports bikes are not as popular as they used to be because you can get a bike that handles great goes like stink and stops on a dime without having to buy a sports bike, whereas when I was young the manufacturers spent all the r and d on there sports bikes and everything else was , well just a bit naff, if you wanted top drawer suspension brakes and chassis you had to buy a sports bike, but somewhere in the late nineties that changed and the bike manufacturers started to understand that we all didn't want a sports bike but we wanted the same level of ridability as a sports bike, I think we have Ducati and Triumph to thank with the speed triple and monster .

I've been watching some videos lately on the tigers and didn't realize they are so comfortable. What I've seen are the 900 but they rave about them. I think the big heavy bike are loosing their appeal as touring bikes and people are using adventure bikes and sport touring bikes for the long multi day trips. You see it yourself all ages are buying dirt bikes dual sports adventure and sport touring bikes and little else.

Hello there, i know im a bit late for this video, im about to buy a '11 Tiger, do these keep having the same "hot start" problem? If it is, how is the best way to fix it, thanks for the review, i'd really love to own one of these machines.
@JonnyLeeguitarist Жыл бұрын
The hot start problem can be fixed with an updated battery and thicker battery leads .. there’s a triumph tiger Facebook group and you can contact a guy called “Jeff pudding Halford “. He makes the leads and it %100 works .

Taste is a personal thing... This Tiger is not as ugly as the GS, but then nothing is as ugly as a GS. But put it next to a ST1100 or a VFR (up to 6th gen) and have a good look... Very, very few true sport touring bikes can beat those 2 Honda's, with the possible exception of an RT. Yet the V4s run a lot nicer than the very characteristic boxer. But, as I said, all very personal.
