    Africa Twin

    I think the new 2024 ATAS has a 6.8 gal tank (24.8 L) as well as heated grips. No center stand is not a big deal as you can get an Outback package with protection bars, skid plate, center stand and racks. I would prefer shaft drive but as has been said the modern chain and oilers are pretty...

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    Whatever they did they seem to have quietly corrected it as I have not heard of the issue lately. Just not sure I would buy another Triumph, too bad as my friend's bike has been trouble free with one minor exception. If I could have designed a bike from the ground up and checked off every item I...

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    Yup, that was me! But it brings out a larger issue, the first mechanic went to fix it but needed a special tool to bleed the clutch and didn't have the spring anyway, then he broke the tool, on my third visit back it was finally fixed. Then when I got out to Sturgis and it broke down again, I...

    And self cancelling turn signals! It is on my radar, if it was shaft drive it would already be in the stable.

    Yamaha, CEO, says NO MORE DEALERS

    It is just AI garbage. There was a similar post about both Harley and Indian. Delete it before it gets more posts.

    2013 vs 2018

    Borrow to invest, pay cash for your toys. If you don't have the money you don't buy it. I have lived by that all my life and it has served me well. That $15,000 bike quickly becomes a $20,000 bike after 5 years of financing it. Does that make sense? I would go with the 2018 hands down and that...

    Cut off seat tongue

    If you need the bumpers that get removed just let me know as I have an extra set when I took mine off.

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    I seem to remember that was huge but maybe should take another look. Thanks.

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    Well a long story made short but my Tiger will also most likely be gone soon. Might wait until the beginning of next year but it will be gone then. I don't know if it is the design of the clutch, inability of the dealerships (yes the dealerships is plural as it has been to 3 different dealers)...

    V85TT for now

    Nice! Will have a write up on my Triumph (hopefully) shortly.

    You're selling your bike, you're moving on, what NEXT ?

    Take it out for a ride, more info is better. That way you can decide if YOU like it, not based on hearsay.

    Well then how do you like this? It is Canuk Bucks, but also a 2022. With $7500 of Dealer Installed parts, good luck guys, good luck.

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    I ride solo and would totally suggest staying away from the Tiger right now. Basically mine has been out of service most of this year. Left me stranded 1500 miles from home and cost me a small fortune to get home. Has been to the dealer for the clutch 4 times, Triumph said they would not cover...

    Speedlab Performance and Tuning ECM FLASH

    If you do a search for Flash Believer it should be in there. I think I went from 5.1l/100km to 4.7l/100km, something like that. Plus about 4 hp increase but the real difference was in just how much smoother the power delivery was.
