I know it's been quite a while since this video, but it would be amazing if more were made. Despite aggressive research, I haven't found a single creator that goes into explaining in such detail as this. And with our driving instructors refusing to teach shorter riders (in my case, barely 150cm), it's the only way we can learn.

Thank you for your video! I am a short driver too but I have a smaller bike. My question is: there are plenty of motorbikes, why not driving something which feels more handy and maneuverable? In fact, sometimes roads are not flat and we may even find ourselves in a situation where we can't chose the right spot to stop, but realize there is a hole or a small down step under our bike. Of course we can dismount from the side, but we may not always be ready for acrobatics. Please understand, I am not criticizing at all, in fact I have enjoyed and liked your video. I would simply like to learn what is the best to do to fully enjoy driving, without challenging our limits on a daily motorbike experience.

Love your accent!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏love it, thank you. Just bought my bmw 1250. Time to start with the basics

That close up of how the OS6 fits was really helpful for me, I'm pretty sure one of those will fit on the pannier rails on my Bonneville

Thanks for doing the video, as a short rider this opens up other bikes to us, I am 5'7" with an inside leg of 29" definitely handy tips there, I know some people are saying get a smaller bike, however this is taking away our options on the bikes we want to ride, in this case the Tiger 900RP that I have owned since June 2022, yes I have dropped it through my own mistake on a camber, it's not happened again and I also take the bike off road, loads of fun for us that are verticality challenged as long as we are careful when stopping. I have noticed you haven't posted a video in a while. I hope all is well, take care & please let us see another video 🙏

Fabulous tips, thank you

try pointing your front tire the other direction when getting the bike off the stand, requires a lot less strength :)

Hi Good Review, but was wondering are the rear bags a quick release from the base, so that you can take the individual bags into your room at destination? Or do you use a internal liner bag inside the Kriega bag

I just loved your tips and your explanation. You really simplified the whole thing ❤❤

I think you and Doodle should do a video together

I like the "mount in motion" bit, you make it look so easy! I can do it on my push bike and one day I'll try it on my V-Strom 1050 XT. I just need to find some soft ground in case of gravity problems. Thanks for a very helpful video.

Good review👍🏽, I just decided on the 6 liter after watching your video, especially because of your explanation about the attachment to the bars. I already have a Kriega backpack, I love the style and finish. Thank you.

it's all about inseam...i'm 5'5 as well but my inseam is 27in (68cm) ...i sat on a tiger 900 before. I wish i was able to flat foot on one side but that's not the case for me.

This the exact setup I want on my Rally Pro. Thanks for posting the detailed walkaround. Now I can just go and get the stuff...

Best

I am a tall rider and found useful the advice on how to pick up the bike. Mastering technique is crucial with picking up a 200+ kg bike. Good tip to have the side stand down. Thanks!

you man where ya been, your one of the only short riders I follow that has a tiger rp?

Thank you for this video. I'm a little taller than you but my inseam is very short 😭 I used your tips during my course and managed not to drop the thing 🙏

Nice video, great tips. The one about picking up the bike and dumping it on the right side so you can utilize the kickstand was funny. 😉

As a short person , you've got my sub.. thanks for ths tips 😊

One of the best videos ive watched on this topic! Thank you!

❤❤❤Superb

Nice Explanation 😊

Thank you for sharing this video very informative

Just what i needed

Thanks for the review, as I currently have hard luggage that is wider than bike and am looking for alternatives for when I am touring.

Amazing woman 🧍‍♀️

In Japan, riding my brand new 71 TS250, slowing for a red light, Japanese rider on just released CB750 passes us, comes to a stop and kicks the side stand and leans the bike onto the stand all in one motion. Light turns green, he jerks the bike upright, kicks the stand and drives away, again all in one motion.... never once touching the ground.

Why do you travel with so much toilet paper 🤷‍♂️.

Nice

How much wider do the panniers make the bike? Do they stick out much beyond the mirrors?

Wow, you did 👍 👌 👍

What a beautiful and sweet girl. I should consider relocating to Norway just to be her neighbor. 👍😜💐

Well explained, got a confidence to buy adventure bike, please continue your work it was inspirational and keep uploading adventure bike tutorial videos.

Excellent! I’m 73 years old and 5’4” and riding my BMW R9T Classic every day. With 57 years of experience, as my strength has diminished slightly and balance is more challenging, these tips are a huge help. Thanks a million!

Excellent video! TY! Also great bike handling skills!

Very good video thanks. You’re a lot better than I ever was when riding a bike, and I m a guy😂

You have got some skills, and balls of steel!!😂 Ride safe my lovely

Hærli’! Fikk litt hjæmlængsel no…OG vældi lyst på ny sykkel!! Hilsen utflytta trønder ( klimaflyktning, no på Sørlandet )

I'm new to drive adventure bike. I picked upp my new bike in june. Tiger 1200 explorer. I rather quickly realized that it was a new Way to drive. For weeks I hade regrets buying the bike thoe it was to high And heavy. But the more I learn and practise, The breaver I get and more fun I have. Much thanks for the tips. Best regards from sweden

All motor officers will tell you it is better to mount from the high side. It keeps you out of traffic and has many other benefits.

What is your height?

I am still using a stepladder instead to jump into my motorbike seat

Beauty and the beast irl 🤣🤣

Funny you mention the rear footpeg fel off. I noticed the same on mine, luckily before the footpeg disappeared. Mine lost the C-clip that holds the footpeg bolt. I could not find a c-clip at the hardware store, so i just took off the whole rear footpegs, i dont really use them.

Hi Filly, Had the 800XC for 6 years. Loved the bike. Although it had some early bugs like the stalling while idle'ing. Nothing to worry about when standing still but when changing the gear and the bike quitting was sometimes no fun. Twice almost died. Trying to get on the highway and needed to get in front of a truck and a car. Was maybe 15 meter in front of the truck while suddenly the bike stopped running. And no-where to go, to escape. Nothing on the bike worked as f.e. the brakelight. Ohww. It is all getting back in my memory. 🤕🥴😵‍💫 The truck almost run me over and nothing i could do. Only hoping that he would react. He almost had to stop on a very busy highway. It had all the ingredients of becoming one big mess. Strangely it was a few km'ters from where my dealer was. So at the next possibility got of the highway and went to the dealer. Although i had to go to my work. I explained the situation. It was then that he started to smile. While 10 minutes before i almost died and maybe also with the possibility of creating a big mess of several cars and trucks running in to each other. Others could have died too. It is still making my butthole sweat. After that i cleared a thing out the dealer changed a certain part on that bike thar sas the cullprit from the beginning. The problem was fixed after that. Never happenend again. Made very large trips around Europe with that bike. It has a perfect powerdelivery. And cruising at 140 kph is perfect. When ever looking for a bike to replace this one. The Husqvarna Norden 901 would be a perfect bike for you. Maybe even the Norden 901 Expedition. But that last one is a bit tall. Maybe. The incredible gain what you would get with that bike is the extreme low center of gravity. It would let you experience riding even more then with the Tiger. Keep on riding and have safe travels.👍 Greetings from the Netherlands,

Can you manage with somebody on the pillion on a tip toe bike.

Marvelous :)

I'm 5' 8" on a good day.(lol) and these tips are really cool actually. Thank you for sharing! I've learned a lot from Nordic women bikers!
