She’s a beauty homes 👍👌🔥💯🏍
Idea for video : what bike kind of bike looking bike does your girlfriend like most ? :) a non biker female perspective would be a good video review. For instance the channel of normalGuySupercar sometimes present his wife who has no idea of cars and she review and give her honest hilarious smart and acurate opinon on ferraris and stuff.
Yammie, how does it compare to the engine characteristics of the Honda CRF 1100 manual (AT standard). I completely appreciate your remarks about the overkill on ADV technology (not necessarily for most street focused riders). BTW I resemble the “Dad bike” remark 😂😅-good humor sir!
If you are 71 years old and still enjoy back roads and mountain twisties, it's a perfect bike.. Trust me.
I love the ADV bikes bc 1st Im a dad lol and 2nd, they make the most sense especially if commuting. Tour bikes are too big and heavy, cruisers aka harleys are too heavy and expensive. Sport tour bikes have a lil too much lean forward on them but ADV bikes allow lots of storage, allow you to sit straight up and allow cornering without dragging and are surprisingly nimble. Maybe its just my opinion but they just seem the best for commuting and long distant riding. Who care if theyre called "dad" bikes. I have a tiger 800 xcx and love it!
Obvious Marketing is obvious. I'm a Gen-Xer and I LOVE THIS BIKE!
I like it. Triumph are a high quality company. Their QC is one of the best. This isn’t an exciting bike but it’s solidly built for purpose.
Ok so yeah... I kinda fit your stated demographic on this bike. But having said that, I’ll also say that, from a pragmatic standpoint, my new 850 Sport not only fits me perfectly, it just makes sense! What you said about all the rider modes and doo-dads is totally true: 98% of an average rider’s time on a bike would never even remotely need all that. I very much appreciate the rain mode though; I still get wigged out by throttle response etc. but yes, I’ve come to understand that the 850 made total sense to me. So I bought one and am planning chomping down major miles. This bike was a brilliant creation in my view . Love it! And I thank you for your review ex post facto! Already bought a tail pack in anticipation of our first adventure!
I’ve watched this video 3 dozen times. At least 2 dozen times before i bought one. Thanks for helping me make a GREAT decision! You make great content. Just got the same bike you’re riding here. 😇🤩
Great review ! I ordered this bike last week here in France. First bike for me at age 41 :) Tiger 900 was too expensive for the use I'll have with the bike. The 850 seems like a good deal for the quality it delivers. I don't care about the name 😀 thanks !
Being an older sport touring kind of guy I find myself looking at adventure bikes a lot more now. When it comes to what I like and find most appealing I tend to really gravitate toward the Suzuki V-Strom 1050. Something like that with removable luggage could be perfect for an older guy.
That Triumph is pretty darn nice too. I wish you and Spite could do a comparison between the two.
I own a dl1000 I love it, use it om my way to work every day april-october 75 miles
@@messageinathrottle4046 absolutely right. I also feel the maintenance costs and reliability would be far better with a bike like Suzuki or really any bike the big 4 build.
@@messageinathrottle4046 I know many people with tiger 800s with zero complaints. Just regular maintenance. While I can't disagree that japanese brands are bulletproof, I don't believe it to be vastly different. It's not a bmw after all! (Previous owner of many BMW)
Check out the ktm mid-weight advs they are nice as well
Vstrom has 3 year warranty looks a little worse than triumph but rides amazing and really good on fuel fast riding 55 mpg steady 65.
Great content and to be honest you have just made me think that there is a lot more out there not widely advertised like the bigger brands , nice honest and very fair review , Thanks from Dublin Ireland ..
Love that you're on an adv bike. A whole new world of bikes to play on.
Who cares if some immature person thinks it looks ugly?It's actually a very good looking bike
I’ve said multiple times I’m a Harley guy but my dream bike is the 900 GT. But ever since I first saw this it has been a very big consideration because I like that it’s offers a better base than what the previous 900 had
Great review. I bought one and took it 3300 miles down the west coast and back and it was phenomenal. I also took it on dirt and even crossed a stream on one occasion. Couldn't be happier. Will buy the atlas throttle lock since I can't get cruise control.
In 38 and I’m salivating on this bike.. yammie hit the nail on the age group this bike would appeal to.
Finally an adv . Love the tiger but street wise (and price) the tracer 900 is top notch! (im bias)! bom video Yammie boas curvas
This is the same cc as the tracer and 3 cylinders is the new tracer over 120hp now! After going from 850 too 900cc yet this triumph makes 82hp !!!
You aren't bias u are totally right
@@chrishart8548 the triumph is the original 3 cyl all terrain I guess. How is the power delivery on the tracer? I mean the torq on lower revs (up to 3.000rpm)
I just bought the 2022 tiger 850 as my very first motorcycle 🤣 been riding ir for 2 weeks and it's so easy to ride.
My first bike is a 2020 BMW F750 GS. 4000 miles later, no drops and one close call. I love it and am very satisfied with my purchase, perfect beginner bike. For reference I'm 5'11 and I'd say a little stronger than average.
Most people adjustable forks are just something to play with and they won't notice a difference
I find when things are not adjustable they are fine. Remember the old amplifiers verses the ones with all the graphic equaliser the old one sounded great the one never sounds right no matter how I adjusted it. Rock pop jazz etc....
@The Insufferable Tool i don't think a bit of fork adjustment is going to help you out on the height front. Preload is about weight. And damping never changes the height.
@The Insufferable Tool it's actually worse if you're to light for a bike but luckily if you're around 75kg it's made for you. I'm 12 1/2 stone and 5'10 1/2. The European bikes are set up for more weight than Japanese models as there all 5'5" and 60kg
@The Insufferable Tool i use the pre load when my girlfriend is on the back I can get the height to where it is with just me on it. I think for a lot of people buying motorcycles a set of springs to suit the riders weight is required. No bike could work with people both 6 stone and 20 stone. And also the compromise between a plush ride vs bottoming out the suspension.
Cool video! I daily drive a 2012 tiger 800 XC and I love it! It's great for on the street, very comfortable and delivers great feeling power!
Really good review. You are definitely a fan, it would seem, and so am I. You were also talking to me DIRECTLY as you stated who you thought this bike would be for, and I'm certainly considering it- thank you for the honest review!
Excellent review. If I wasn't in the UK and so under a full lockdown... plus the rain and snow... I'd have ridden an 850 Sport by now. I AM that older rider you keep talking about, but I've been riding over 40 years and I really don't need a super fast bike anymore, just something I can do local days out on, or ride 500 miles in a day, depending on what takes my fancy. Love the channel.
Triumph finally heard your prayers and is responding more and more
I have a tiger 850 sport and absolutely love the bike! I don't fit your stated demographic lol. I just love that it's stable, predictable and fun to ride.
I'm a dad over 48 with a tiger 800xc. And fall into all of Yam's stereotypes. 😁 Except I do prefer adjustable suspension. I added front cartridges and play around with front and rear settings all the time. Anyway. Yam love your reviews, very honest and informative.
Great review, totally agree that this bike does everything for not much money, and on the suspention thing youre so right, who really needs fully adjustable suspension let alone who ever actually adjusts it. Perfect bike and deffo on my shortlist.
I am a biker since 2002 and i never heard nobody describing a bike like you do Man !! You got all the points described very well starting of specs numbers purpose and what is ideal for etc etc ..... i owned the old Tiger 800xr which didn't have whistle and bells but i loved soo much i would definitely go for the at least for the GT900 for the bigger TFT adjustable suspension cruise control 5 riding mode and adding options of the quick shifter but the purpose is exact same as you just described with a little bit of luxury 😉
Good job buddy 👏👍
The blue colourway is attractive
It's only dipped at the front the rest of the bike is boring Black and grey.
Crap.. this bike has a credit rating and can pay my mortgage!! My GS doesnt do that for me, I might have to look at going back to Triumph
I love my tall windscreen on my adventure-touring bike. I'm 46 so I guess it checks out.
Triumph is "hitting it" lately.
Rides down a dirt track: “...it’s awesome that it’s doing this pretty easily”
Completely forgetting that a stock Suzuki GSX-R 250 also crushed that particular bit of dirt 😂
My thoughts exactly, I can´t name one motorcycle that wouldn´t do that with ease...
The gixxer 2fiddy is GOAT tho
Great review. Very informative and thorough. It's helping me decide which bike to buy. Either this one, a bonneville T120, or a Harley Road King. 3 different type bikes but I like all 3. But I think this one may win out.
hell yes! really considering this as a 2nd bike to compliment my STR!
At the ripe old age of 25 I'm definitely looking at the 850 sport as my second bike. This or the NC750X. But this looks much better then the 750.
The nc750x and the tiger 850 sport are fighting to see who can make the least horsepower from 900cc and 750cc
I was a dad by 23, so any bike could be considered a dad bike, 😆. 44 now and both my kids are adults and could have kids, so I guess that means any bike I choose to ride could be a grandpa bike. Both those bike you mentioned would be hard to choose from for me. I like the Svartpilen, but am waiting for it to be labeled a grandpa bike.
@@chrishart8548 I personally feel a 650 is more then enough for the streets so the power output of these bikes doesn't phase me. If I can comfortably reach a ton and hual myself and the Mrs around that's the bike I need.
@@davidklementis5913 I completely agree. My dad had a 2nd Gen Sv650s. Is that a "Dad bike"? Most people don't think so but by my dad owning one, perhaps. I like both of these bikes because they can be fun and logical. You can load up your luggage, get your girl and go on the road for a few hours without feeling too fatigued or having to compromise on space.
@@jmfreestuff73 I currently own a Yamaha FZ6 that I purchased new in 2007 and a 2019 Kymco Spade 150 and have never heard them labeled as Dad bikes. I like that you are looking at the bikes for their purpose and not because they are the biggest baddest thing around. I agree, being able to do the ton is plenty for the streets. The actual ride and feel is more important then the stats.
This is the bike of the year.
Great realtime review of a really nice sensible machine, be great to stick some boxes on and head across Europe in comfort
I just came across this bike, been watchin a bunch of videos learnin up on it… I live in Kansas and this would be the perfect bike to go get lost on some dirt roads with.
Ijust picked up a new 850 Sport this week. A really fun, capable bike. The adjustable seat is perfect for my 5ft 7 in frame. Very confidence inspiring. I do wish that Triumph had badged this model as 888 instead of 850!
Dare you to do 300 highway miles with no wind screen, and I ain't an old man (technically lol) at 29. Enjoy! ( They're ugly as sin but necessary for long trips). I did a 2k mile round trip and it was way more brutal than it had to be because I was on a naked bike. Worth the memories though.
Great review, I'm with you all it needs are the heated grips and hand guards.
Love your vids! 💙
Noti gang😎
Once again great job,Chase on two wheels!!!!!
Funny how even your tone of voice seemed to be more mellow than usual riding this bike.
You can pick these bikes up now for well under ten grand. new leftovers and low mileage used ones for 8-9k. Thats a lot if bike for the price. Im looking at one of these or a 2018-19 tiger 800 xca.
"Why are you on the wrong side of the road dude" be safe out there homies
I love it. It’s perfect for the average Joe.
I fell in love with Triumph back in the 1970's, as a kid... great memories... but, having trouble warming up to them knowing that they are manufactured now in Bangkok, Thailand. Triumph should consider building their bikes in the USA, that are sold in the USA, with parts availability in the USA. It'd be interesting to know how much more expensive they would be, as a result.
"Dad bikes" lol
'Merica 4 u.
Funny how this 54yo dad and current Tiger 800 rider is always drawn to videos like this - go figure 😀
Well . kinda is
As a 31 year old with a KTM 790 Adv. I feel attacked by papa pubes.
@@jeffs.8142 really want an adv bike I'm 25 and own a harley, so where does that put me? Lmao
Papa Yam, are you Italian? Those hands are all over the place that first minute lmao
That and uses French words with a pretty good accent too....there is something European in that Texan boi....
Yammie, do you confirm?
@@IlbryenVT ^^ 100% Brazilian and born in SP. Blame my Portuguese and Italian lineage lol
@@yammienoob Wait... you're actually Brazilian? I knew your father was, didn't know you were too, that's very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Bought the first one sold in the U.S. to compliment my 2020 Street Triple R. Great video that points all the reasons I chose it as soon as I read about it.
Hi there! If you have to choose between Tiger 850 Sport and 2020 Street Triple R? Which one will be your choice?
@@asanrushid4981 they are completely different bikes, it would depend on my riding. I've toured on a Street Triple but it has somewhat limited storage, is dangerously impractical 2-up and you can't stand on the pegs, also for the long haul the seat isn't very comfortable. That said I love the Street Triple for day trips and even solo overnights. I didn't need to decide so I bought both 😃 The Street Triple is also around $3000 cheaper but, as I said, totally different bikes.
Oh man I am in a quite a same situation. Just sold my Sportster and don't know what to go for. I will go and drive test them both
These reviews where "every single thing on this bike is great, even if it's shit, it's still great because you wouldn't know any better" really grinds my gears.
It actually puts me off for the bike entirely... You could put the audio of this video directly over the video of the Versys 650, except, this one was sent by the dealer so I guess it's all sunshine and flowers. I guess i'll go for the Yamaha. Btw, my last one was a 2012 Versys 650. Great bike, just a bit underpowered
Man...the countryside that you get to ride in is amazing.
I enjoy my sport bike for all the opposite reasons I enjoy my ADV / Touring bike.
They are what they are.
i totally thought this was F9 video but i aint gonna complaint
*complain
@@hazardpie7603 sure
@@stuck4uk714 sorry for that
@@hazardpie7603 dont apologize
I really enjoy your reviews. Hopefully, you’ll add more straight bike reviews to your repertoire.
Think how often an adjustable suspension would be set wrong.
Thanks mr noob I’m looking for a dad bike and this one might be for me.
I'm buying the 1200 XRx Low sometime next year. I'm excited
Dad bike just means a bike for someone who has spent time trying bikes and wants something good and comfortable. Plus Yam obviously has too much money to burn if this, a bike that is the same price as my car, is cheap a second bike.
Hey Hyss, I actually just test drove the 900 gt yesterday and you are 100% right, they do it all well.
So the question really is, are the heated seats, grips, hand guards, engine protection and additional rider modes worth the extra $5k?
I can also confirm that the Tiger turns heads of random middle age dudes (being one myself). Can also confirm the SUV comparison but I'd say its a lot like a Tahoe or Expedition in that its a larger, not as nimble off road SUV compared to say a Jeep Wrangler. Yeah the rally pro will get through the same stuff my buddy's KLX250 does, but it is NOT happy about some of it.
Feels like the bike I should replace my NC750X with. Still can tour and commute but with a lower seat, lower weight, more power, actually trail capable, bigger range. Goldilock bike
Yammer, check out the F900XR solid 2nd bike, starts at ~11k.. more affordable than this triumph, great ergos, more powerful than this triumph, better in twisties, better tech, (albiet opinion) but much better looking. C'mon my man, tell the people what they need to hear. BMW is making more budget friendly bikes in the F900 option and the people need to know! Love the content!
Looks like a bird wearing goggles
I'm 5'11" as well and 20 mm bar risers were perfect for my 900 GT Pro
If you enjoy that riding position, try a Versys 650 LT with full luggage for cheaper. Its a total boss.
It's only 15hp down despite 1 less piston and 250cc. Difference and the verses is lighter.
Imagine a verses 975cc triple with 102hp with the same pistons as the 650cc just 1 more the numbers look good
My wish bike with the quickshifter!
Too good video, really a very sensible review. 😊 thanks
It’s kinda wierd. Triumph targets the buyers that are mainly road adventurers for this 850 Sport, but on a bike like this, why isnt cruise control optional?🤔 i really miss that accessory for the 850. The "budget" 750GS does come with it
If it only had cruise control would have been my bike
I initially thought the same but a simple throttle lock is more than enough. I use an Atlas throttle locker but there are others, don't cost much and provide plenty of relief. A trade off over actual cruise control but one that didn't bust the deal for me.
@@Q-Legal_Civil3D you right ! But i like the bike though a little bit of luxury doesn't hurt 🤣👍
@@ShineBright__ absolutely. For the price it's hard to beat the quality of this bike though, even without some of the luxuries. Of the 12 I've owned it's one of my favs. :-) To call it a beginner adventure bike is a mistake in my opinion. It's big and powerful.
@@Q-Legal_Civil3D ooohh yeah i agree i owed the 2015 800xr which was the very base model like the new 850 sport !! And isn't a beginner ADV i actually think that she is all what you need for adventure i do a loof motocamping with my wife so you can imagine camping gear for 2 people on the bike fucckking loaded buddyyy 😂🤣😅 just figured thari need a little bit of luxury as i get older 👍
long live ADV brotherhood
This bike seems cool. I wanted a sport touring bike but instead I bought a kTm 790 adventure. Long story short I bought it in 2019 its now 2021 and I've only been off road 3 times. That and the reliability issues. Think I'm gonna trade my kTm in on this bike as all I want now is adventure ergos with long distance capabilities
I quite enjoy the new style of videos
Buy tiger 850 + flash ECU = profit. Even the tiger 900 is being held back pretty significantly
I rode that same bike (literally) at Emma Long on the trail. Motor feels great but I was pretty upset that I couldn’t turn off the ABS. Probably should’ve apologized to triumph for bashing the skid plate as hard as I did.
Turbo Triumph Tiger. TTT
Nice bike
Im in love with that tiger 850
Great review. Thank-you.
Man I wish Yamaha had made the new MT-09 T plane like this triple. Sounds so much better, and the sound profile would match up with the my-07 and mt-10. Basically a cross plane four without the fourth cylinder
It is a cross-plane. I own one, I know.
Looks good wouldnt mind it when I start commuting
I wish Honda built a more road focused Africa twin like that.
This! Yes! Ide love to see Honda make an adventure/sport bike. Maybe with the I4’s out of the cb650 and cb1000 platform. Something along the lines of an s1000xr or multistrada
Nice Bike and Review. Thanks.
Awesome vid yammie! Test the BMW R1250r or the F900r... 😏
Thanks a lot for the great review. Wondering what are your thoughts comparing this tiger to the BMW F750GS. I read reviews suggesting that the F750 is almost as good as most slandered motorbikes on the streets. Also maybe against the Triumph Street Scrambler. Know they are different but wondering to hear your thoughts.
Triumph takes a dump on the road. Yammie Noob: "Triumph really knocked it out of the park with this one".
Sweet. Now you're ready for the Baja 1000.
Am I weird that I'm 46 and have no interest whatsoever in an ADV?
I’m 49 and buying a 1100 sports touring in the spring..The way he broke it down made me feel like I would be straddling geratol and depends on 2 wheels if I rode this .
Not at all. To my eye ADVs are the most hideous looking things on two wheels. They’re the motorbike equivalent of white New Balance Dad sneakers.
@@psychalogy i agree hehe thats true
i too am 46.5 and have no interest in ADV
have prebooked the Trident, it's coming in March
@@chirag4 I'm looking at the Trident myself! Absolutely stunning for the money.
Great vid, Thanks! How would you compare this one to a Tenere 700?
Can we get some dirt bike content?
Boy, I think I need one to take some of the work off my Daytonas back.
My next bike in red!! Thanks 🙏🏻
You should review some older/rare motorcycles like the Honda CB400.
This thing is actually really cool
Finally ADV.
Test ride a honda africa twin pls papa yam
ageism...lol.. J/K...you'll get there one day, enjoy your youth!
dave moss would say otherwise
What’s your opinion on the csc tt250 dual sport? I wanna get a bike and that’s a nice cheap option but I don’t wanna buy a complete garbage one
I've heard positive honest reviews on them (stating the flaws and weaknesses). They are not as good as the big four brands, but are supposedly on the top end of Chinese built and have the support of an American company thats been in business for decades now. If you're not going to be doing lots of freeway traveling or hard off road riding, don't mind doing your own maintenance and it's what you can afford I think it's a decent option. I've considered one just to try out dual sports without financing a better bike. I would say if you can afford one of the big four brands, go that route. Especially if it's your only or first bike. Keep in mind the CSC TT250 is old tech and not fuel injected.
@@davidklementis5913 dang thanks for the info man, I’ll definitely keep in in consideration
