      @@tommillar2821 Ah really. Interesting. Same with the KTM SUperAdventure. I was not on this long enough in hot weather to find out.
      The Africa Twin seems to keep its cool.

    My wife would like this. Smooth, comfortable and heated seats as well. Lot of money but a lot of kit.

    I’ve recently purchased a 1200 tiger explorer from 2012...... absolutely love it, and will trade up soon enough to the more higher spec version in due time

      Nice, all good bikes. Triumphs have a certain type of character.
      Nobody 'needs' the amazing tech on the new model but, damn, it is bloody good!
      You should start seeing some second hand bargains on these.

      Which Bike-do you think, with the bluetooth idea, it can be self incriminating straight away? I see it now, more and more are distorting the clocks. I know they say, if you got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. But say 35mph and only going along with the flow, were making there job easier. 20 mph around schools is a no brainier, and a good move IMHO😱

    Don't think the XCa version does have slightly raised suspension over the XRt, the seat heights are the same.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  4 года назад +1

      Can't recall now - maybe it was an adjusted seat as Triumph do a good job with seat options.

      @RevMonkey  4 года назад

      Yeah, great. That's a lot of bike for a very good price when you consider what you would pay for for the Honda, Ducati or BMWs.
      You could simply put on a mobile phone mount and use that with a headset for sat nav.

    Hi... I have this bike since may 2019👍 korosi red... KTM and Ducati don't have shaft drive... GS it's to ordinary...less power....less tech...less style 😉 i had no doubt! It was always the xrt 1200!!!!

      Of course. The 800 was, of course, fine for any normal use. I'd miss the power of the 1200 though.
