[@pinoymasabaw7857]

ride safe guys!!!!

[@50blvd]

Just FYI I owned a TT 800Xcx and had every single issue mentioned on the Triumph blogs. The electrics had gremlins (lights burning out and randomly dying), WP suspension rattle, etc. The scheduled valve adjustment will cost you $1000 (have to disassemble the bike). I also had a dealer tell me that the triple engine begins to loose significant compression around 50k miles. He also told me they had to rebuild many of them at those miles. I hope you have better luck with yours.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

so far its been fantastic

[@50blvd]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife I loved mine too, just wanted a more reliable motorcycle. I’ve been riding my wife’s CB500X and it’s a fun little bike, a bit small for me at 6’1”. The v-strom 650 will probably be my replacement for the TT. I’m not going to be riding any single track just some back roads and another trip to Alaska (fuel range is key). Oh and my Tiger got mid to low 50 mpg’s. I enjoy you twos videos and travels. Be safe and happy trails!

[@50blvd]

I wonder if the previous owner changed one of the sprockets. Could be why your dash speed and fuel economy are off.

[@scottrussell6646]

Congratulations on the new bike Chris. I think the Triumph 900 is a great choice because of the much lighter weight. And it looks so cool with all the great features. A very nice looking bike. With the lower seat height and lower weight, this bike should be easier to handle in rougher roads

[@ottomatic7823]

Yipee! Welcome to the Triumph family.With my big TouraTech boxes, on the Rally Pro, the mileage drops significantly. Cross winds are nerve racking too.

[@graemeshaw9716]

No doubt you are right. However I believe their riding requirements have changed now they drive and set up base camp, get the bikes off the truck deck (not easy with heavy bikes). So I reckon the 900 Triumph(s?) will be perfect for them now. 👍

[@brettbales1893]

I have a bonny T100 and love it. Never have any issues. Welcome to the Triumph family.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks we love it

[@beachside180]

Nice new to you bike Chris. From the aviation world double the speed, drag increases by times 4. That’s where your fuel is going, on the interstate your higher speed is increasing the drag by the square which needs more throttle to maintain your ground speed. Your fuel consumption always goes up if you ride into a headwind as the drag is an airspeed relationship as opposed to a ground speed. Plus those huge boxes sitting out in the wind take a lot of fuel to push through the air. Keep those great videos coming👍

[@neilmackinnon3371]

I'd agree with this completely. I'm in the UK and ride a VStrom 650. Fully loaded with panniers and bags in Scotland last year on twisty roads I was getting into the low 70's mpg (UK gallons). On a recent trip to the East of the UK I spent half the day on highway type roads, battling a strong headwind and was down to around 64 mpg. Also the E10 (10% ethanol) petrol over here also has an effect and lowers gas mileage.

[@beachside180]

@@neilmackinnon3371 yup, about 55mph airspeed is a sweet spot for big draggy adventure bikes, any more airspeed needs more power hence less mpg. Riding into a 5mph headwind @ 55mph ground speed needs the same power as riding at 60mph (not accounting wheel rotation drag increases, surface friction changes etc etc) Short on gas to get to your destination? Slow down a bit and you increase your ground mpg by reducing air drag. Got a tail wind, speed up for the same mpg or slow down to hugely improve mpg. ( but where’s the fun in that). Or should we actually just use spg (smiles per gallon) for motorcycles.

[@neilmackinnon3371]

@@beachside180 I get much higher SPG on twisties than on highway.

[@richardgiles2484]

Hi Both. I live in the UK and hope your safe and well. I have a tiger 800xca and just done a 1900 mile trip from my home in Wales to Scotland and back. With full panniers and top box one up I got 74mpg and that was with 40% motorway riding at about 70mph

Hi folks. Just wanted to share my time on my Tiger. I’m up in Idaho where half my riding is gravel. I picked up a 22 Tiger GT Pro in April and have about 2500 miles on it. According to my dash I’m averaging 53+. I see your bike has a number of accessories and you might check your gearing to see if it’s been modified. Yes, the speedo is inaccurate on mine as well. Keeps me out of trouble. But certainly your mileage is an issue that needs to be addressed. Good luck there and ride safe. And let us know what happens when the issue is resolved. Thanks

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Bob. We are getter better mileage staying off the super slabs and when we ride without the panniers. The Speedo I hear is off because it calibrated as imperial miles, but who knows. She does love the bike though

[@tollycrump4317]

Great bike Chris! One thing I recommend is changing out the factory crash bars for aftermarket ones like Heed or another brand. The factory ones don't take well to a good drop, and there is a forward mounting tab that has been prone to breaking off of the motor in a good drop that can't be repaired. Enjoying the channel here in Ky. Be safe and have a great time!

Congrats on the new Triumph. I have a 1200 Scrambler over here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so welcome to the club!!. Speedos over here in a car or motorbike tend to be 4/5 miles an hour faster than your true speed shown on the Sat Nav. As for mileage, speeds over 70mph will reduce your average consumption especially with the panniers and top box. Enjoy your new bike especially in the twisty roads.

Oh, you finally realized that the behemoth GS was too heavy for you, that didn't take long. You have to be a strong larger person, I think, in my opinion, to be riding these heavy bikes, otherwise those crash bars will be used, often. Good luck with your new bike. Maybe the next one will be even lighter. You should try a proper light bike, and get with the times.

[@stoney3398]

Hi Guys - I've put over 16K miles on my Tiger 900 Rally Pro in a little less than 2 years, and here's my 2 cents: 1. Not likely you'll ever see 55 mpg. I did a 460 mile ride on mine today, got 45 dog on the interstate (65-70 mph avg.), and 51 mpg on backroads (45-55 mph avg.). I have smaller Mosko Moto side bags, and a much smaller top box. 2. My Triumph Trophy SE gets almost the same MPG, even though it's over 200 lbs. heavier, and has a 1215cc triple. It's just way more aerodynamic. 3. My speedo is off by 8-9%, but the odometer is accurate. Pretty typical of any motorcycle I've owned. No idea why they build them that way. 4. Keep an eye on the chain when doing maintenance. At 16K, I think mine's about done. It's my first chain-driven bike, so still learning (the Trophy is shaft drive, like your BMWs). 5. Old men will walk up to you to mention that they rode a Bonneville in the '60s. And they're always nice! 6. The Tiger is an absolutely incredible bike! Have fun on it!

[@thatchh1]

My Trophy SE gets the same- 45-50mpg when traveling, and it runs on regular to boot! I am amazed!

Nice bike heading up to Two Wheels of Suches July 9th . I have a Honda ST1300 been looking to downsize. Take care.

[@smilingbiter]

Maybe they used Imperial gals for measuring the 52 mpg? British gallons were Imperial gallons. Canada use to have Imperial gals. before changing to metric. For example, 3.79 litres to a US gal. 4.2 litres to an imperial gal. My 2018 M8 107 HD Softail Deluxe is rated for 47 mp US gal. I ride moderately and get between 47 and 55mpUSg.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

That could be the speedo is off also

[@smilingbiter]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife Yes, I was thinking that as well. I just thought your owner's manual, which is a British bike might have only listed British Imperials for their measurements. My owner's manual lists both US and Canadian, 5 USgls and 18.9ltrs. The last time I filled up at 224.3 miles/16.179L it cost me for prem. gas $2.489 per L or for 4.269 Us for a total of $40.27 (Cdn. dollars) PAINFUL! Just saying.

[@justinketcham5435]

Just a thought...gas mpg may change due to new curb weight with added accessories.

Good to see you with a lighter bike. Non of us over 50 enjoy dropping and picking up our bikes. The gas mileage is probably based on liters per gallon. The panniers, windshield all factor in on this.
