Neither. They’re literally, not figuratively, the worst bikes in that entire category and only a fool would buy one in the year of our lord 2026.

Has a few issues.
Stock tires are shit. I’m replacing them after 3K.
Wind protection with stock screen is shit. Installed a givi and its better now.
Headlight at night is shit. A literal hazard on turns.
I installed my old Tiger’s fogs on it so its mint now.
Other than that its a riot.
Electronic suspension is god tier.
buttery smooth quickshifter.
Smooth cruise control.
Fast as fuck and the stock exhaust is surprisingly good.

are you going to trade it for new tiger 950/1250?
or CB1000GT?
>>
>>28996203
I’m gonna get the Tiger 900 GT Pro instead. I miss my 850 sport (base grade version of 900) and I’ve realized that’s the bike for me. Its perfection straight out of the box

I tried and considered the africa twin, twins just aren’t for me. Once you’ve lived with the tplane triple nothing else feels or sounds as good. People really are sleeping on that engine, its a miracle how good it feels.

everything about it is lagging behind it's competition because kawi refuses to update it in a meaningful way despite the entire rest of the class making strides forward. i would say the GSX8R and its naked counterpart are it's replacement.

i think tplane is a triumph biggest sin
they had a perfectly good triples and ruined it with tplane to chase some stupid mud eating apes
they should keep the triple they way it is on the GT and maybe just add tplane for the rally
at least there is tiger sport 800 now to save the day

Hi!
>>
HELP!
>I passed MSF 2 months ago
>Been riding a Vespa 310 GTS Super ever since.
I want a real bike and to level up a bit. (I know 2 months isn’t a long time, I am giving myself a few months to think about this.) I’m looking in the 650-850cc range for a bike that’s good for both highway commuting and navigating inner city traffic (I want to commute from eastern Long Island on the interstate into Manhattan).
What *category* of bikes should I be looking at? And any recommendations?
By the way I will ONLY drive manual bikes, no DCT/auto shit, so Honda NC700X is out. I made an exception for the Vespa because I’m an italiaboo. (I only drive manual cars.)
Don’t worry I’m not going to hop on the highway on a new bike without riding it around local roads for a few hours.
I asked in plebbit and got recommendations for SV650, V-Stroms, Honda Transalp, and a few triumph bikes. Basically they recommended a mix of Adventure bikes and nakeds/standards. The general principle they said is anything that’s comfortable, nimble, and with a windshield. (Wind on the highway while riding 45 minutes at 75 mph is a concern.)
I’d be pretty happy with any Euro make bike reccs too. I’m not afraid of maintenance, I’ve got a 2011 BMW I keep maintained. I’m just not sure where the boundary between “a few known maintenance problems” vs “a maintenance nightmare” is for these bikes. I’ve been looking also at BMW F650GS-F800GS, Ducati Scramblers, Triumph Bonnies, etc.
But yeah looking for any thoughts fresh ideas. Thank you!

>>28996221
have you owned a tplane triple? Cus I’ve put 20,000km on that engine and I’ve had em all. Its near perfection.

long rides on ptwin = bad idea

dont listen to this retard >>28996216
theyre good beginner bikes/first "big bike", and have excellent resell value because of it - and are powered accordinly
style is extremely subjective

but they do suffer from the ptwin vibrations which might give you numb arms or pins and needles after like 30-40mins riding

counterbalanced P-twin engines aren't that bad. They do buzz, but they don't make you see double like a Harley.

Ninja 650 or versys 650 because you are going to have good wind protection.

Z650rs is pretty cool, w800 too and t100 or t120 or the humble int 650. All really cool bikes. CB1000F too. Its the year of retro bikes because you can buy all of them used on the cheap.

Hello Iron piggu anon! Looks nice and shiny. Did you never have a rear seat? How do you take your GF on it? Also, why half face?

Do you know any decent naked with inline four under 800cc but with fuel injection (I'd love to have a carb but I'm a wrenchlet no garage)?

Nevermind already got the help
