Gave up an 1150 GS reluctantly when I reached 80, for the ADV 350. Surprised how well it handles, like the wide bars, it’s quite agile and surprisingly quick. Screen reminds me of the 1150 raise it in rain in summer at lowest position. 6 foot don’t feel buffeted. 2years in its been trouble free. And on the open road it’s quite fun, enough in reserve when needed. But I still dream of the GS.

Thank you sir for this nice ride! I wish we had those clement temperatures in Winter here in Quebec… - 24 Celsius last week, - 20 tomorrow morning! 🥶🥶☃️ Regards, Marc 😉🏍️

After one year still no scratches in the paint ? I´m hesitating buying the Motech or any tank bag.

I bought my GT Pro on New Years Eve 2024/25. As I have a 36-inch inseam, I asked the dealer to set the seat in the high position... and for me, it is totally flush. Don't know why you get that gap. On my former Yamaha Tracer 9 GT I got a HUGE gap that not only looked dumb but also let in crap underneath the seat, Not so on the Triumph. Are you sure your dealer knows what they are doing or that your specific seat isn't faulty?

I have an ADV 350 and love it, I've only had for a couple of months but ,like you, found that the wind protection is" less than optimum" I have fitted a Puig touring screen which has improved it a lot. Having watched this vid I have ordered a set of deflectors here in the Uk but there is no stock , however the parts supplier , Fowlers ,are obtaining a set from Belgium for me this week!!I'll let you know how I get on.

I agree about the build quality. The RE Himalayan still looks great but it has sloppy weld points. I remember on my super meteor, the paint and tank were beautiful but the weld pints on the frame weren’t good. The build quality on my older CFMOTO CLX700 was far better. both great bikes for the money. I would also pick the NX first and than the MT second. If the MT had a 10k km service interval it probably be first on looks alone but that Honda 12k km service interval is just far better for commuting and adventuring.

HI Rocketman, spring is around the corner and so is new bike time! I've never had a Tiger and I think it's time I give one a try. I've got 30 years + of riding experience, so I'm not worried about bike size or weight. Would you recommend the 1200 or the 900 for primarily road riding? I know the GT is the primary road option, but I just love the 1200 Rally Pro in khaki green! Should I just go for it or should I consider one of the other tiger options. Love the shaft drive!

What's your most recent bike, Rocketman? What's your favorite bike for 2025?

Very well considered and detailed review as always 👏🏻thank you. I am between Ducati V2S and Tiger 900 rally pro. Would you consider Ducati instead of the tiger Sir? If you could compare the two in terms of reliability, cost of ownership and fun factor? Thank you

That's a comprehensive report 10:22 telling us that the sensible machine Wednesday wins the day.

Muito obrigado! Por coloca dublado para português assim quem entende inglês vai poder apreciar seus vídeos....

C'est votre avis mais pas le mien !

1st two Shoei helmets were best I have owned. Last l One started comming apart liners pulling loose arounf neck or bottom everytime I put it on. Removed the lense to clean it. Took off the inner face shield and pin retainer popped off. 6 moths old. Got to be a better made helmet out there. Dam ordered the bronze look and so disappointed this time.

Is it jerky at low RPMs or at steady throttle or in any other situation? Found a lot of complains on forums.

Very excited about this bike, My 07 Tiger 1050 is getting on and on paper this has everything I want and need in a bike these days. I find the dash comments funny, compared to my 1050 it is practically science fiction.

I have an older version of the TripMachine bag. I've scratched my paint with it due to grit, and it's far from great....but it looks nice? lol

May I ask you something to your knowledge is there a crash bars that if you drop your bike thay make it easier to pickup

I hate recycled materials

After 5k with the NX , I like it much. The windshield needs an extender, rear brake is very weak, standing is akward, seat is ok however you will feel your butt after 200km+, the fullrange & cruise control would be great. Beside all that I love it. Very easy to ride , mount & go

Great ride Rocketman. Whos the cool dude with the Desert X! Best Wishes from Sunny Sheffield See you in a few months

Rode all three and went for the Triumph Scrambler 400x cos even with all accessories it's cheaper than the Hima (far too heavy, sidestand too short, most accessories not available) and the CF Moto 450 (no accessories, lifeless feel, very plasticy).

considering selling my beloved speed twin for the tiger 800 as I feel it will be better for two up touring.

Great ride

Why no Transalp with DCT yet? Cmon Honda... Not all can afford Africa

I purchased my NC750XA 8 years ago and it has been exceptionally reliable. It handled touring, shopping and commuting brilliantly but did have a few niggles which bugged me. The headlight LED was poor, the front suspension harsh, the instrument display impossible to read in sunny weather and the rear seat too high for me. I often caught my foot on the passenger pad. I fitted lowering bars to back end but then could not use the main stand. This Honda is still brilliant value for money but I am now going to look for a different replacement.

I was badly disabused about "touring screens" when riding a KTM 1290 SA and a KTM 890 SA. The experience was like being flogged about the helmet with a wet dishtowel. The ADV screen looks similar and terrifies me. Just how bad is it, and will I hate touring at 60-70 mph (I am 5' 11"). Thanks for your reviews.

Thanks for this , did something similar by accident on Wednesday this week . Here for the month so will try this

I do short rides often. I live on the Sea to Sky Highway in West Vancouver, i often ride up to various stops; Squamish, Whistler , Lions Bay, and more. I'll take a thermos of coffee and some ice water. Life is good.

I owned the 500X and traded in after a few months … the negatives outweighed the positives… it’s physically too small for anyone above average height, bad wind buffeting from the wind screen, very weak engine that makes passing at 80+ km/h a risky maneuver, bouncy budget suspension, unprotected belly, low ground clearance, unnatural standing position geometry when standing on the pegs, … but it’s a good beginner bike.

Thanks

Definitely, for the road, not the track! I have the Trident, as i like naked roadsters. But would love the daytona engine in it! P. S imo, the Daytona name wouldn't mean much, if anything to the probably younger people buying this bike. The aftermarket market decals available for this bike are awesome for around £200 and transform its appearance. Nice bike, thanks for the video. 👍

I hired a CB500X in Cyprus and rode up into the Troodos mountains. I loved the Honda but found it a bit cramped compared with my Vstrom 650XT. I'm 5"11" with a 32" inside leg. Is it cramped or am I being a bit picky?

Two years on, and I having had the use of a borrowed one, I have changed my mind. It is a very nice ride and tremendous value for money. The only real downside is all the people queueing up to tell you “it is not a real one”.

Small hint: you have 30% discount on the highway with "via verde" for motorcycles. 😉

not available in thailand atm.

is this a top heavy bike? TIA

Lovely ride. Lovely pillion (rider). Lovely Cagiva. So, basically I live in the wrong part of the world. sigh. Thanks for the trip, looking forward to more.

RM, you’re not going to be short of material for a few years with your bite sized rides series. Virtually every road north of the A22 is a bikers paradise, I’m looking forward to seeing which routes you show us. Hopefully I’ll get a few new ones to add to my rides. This particular ride is one of my regular routes.. (I joint the IC1 at S.B. Messines). I just love the sweeping bends on the road from São Marcos heading west towards Monchique. So many great routes around the Algarve 😀👍

Vídeo muito top estradas espetaculares 👍

Nice viewing on a cold, snowy midwinter day.

Did the road form São Marcos da Serra to Mochique, 3 weeks ago, and it´s really great!

Thanks for this. What beautiful views from that stop.I’m planning a long trip around Spain and Portugal in 2026 to celebrate 65 yrs on this planet so these vids will be very helpful.Safe riding Richard ( Honda 500 CBX 2017 Bristol)

Sitting here in the North West of England looking out at my car still frozen over and ice glistening on our untreated road I'm not really jealous, well only a little bit, OK a lot. You've got me thinking that in a few months time I'll be out in the Trough of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales, that is if this year unlike last, its not raining. Great video.

That's a brilliant idea and very generous of you to share it. Thank you! Ps, you also nailed the music, not intrusive or irritating at all. I wish you safe, enjoyable rides always 😊
