https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/motorcycles/adventure/tiger-850-sport Still prefer my 2018 tracer though. 👍

There's change, and there's progressive change, two completely different thing's. Like anything else, some will like, some won't. I actually think the gen 1 and 2 are good looking bikes, with the later gt having the bells and whistles for those who want. This gen 3 is a big change. I immediately don't like the long side panels, then the clocks, then the vulnerable sensor. then the headlights..... I bought a standard 2018 because it ticked my boxes and the price was great. This 2021 is far more expensive and doesn't tick the boxes. There's a lot of competition out there and maybe Triumphs progress could aid the tracers downfall. Time will tell. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, looks like my 2018 tracer will be my last, unless they back pedal on the styling in a year or two, which I'm sure they will. 👎

It's a backward step for me.. 👎

I'm a convert to the flip front helmet. As been said before, for general road use, lay-by cafe, fuel stops, smoke, shopping, chin wag, there very convenient and safe. 🙂👍 But I do know others who ain't keen either. 🤷‍♂️

On trips I use a tankbag aswel for quick access stuff.

Can you go wake her up so we can hear it. folk waiting here. 🔊

Will do but bike in lockdown at mo. 😩

Puig sport screen. I like it. Looks good aswel. No buffering because wind blast hitting chest. Don't like big screens. Little or nothing for me. 👍

Tbf, the new gt photos are pretty rubbish. I shall hold my judgement until I see it proper. 👍

I've seen 133mph and still going. I'm at Portimeo next may, we will see, stock gearing. Plenty quick enough. 👍

Not ridden since fitted...update, god knows when. 🤷‍♂️ Hoping all good.

When passing big trucks i get buffeted in my car. Keep clear of truck as much as possible. Trucks make turbulence. 🤔

They do a lovely sausage roll. 👍

You do seem to enjoy your bike time Stew...brilliant, keep up the good work. and the white lid. 🙂👍

As @Ride365 says, pushing your bike outside and warming to temp is not good. The condensation from inside casings mixes with the oil. Getting water temp up at idle will not get the oil temp up enough to burn off moisture. Imo, it's a 20 mile ride minimum.

I don't let it get too dry. If it gives me a sticky finger all good. Clean with paraffin and 3 sided chain brush now and again, but not often. Gets rid of shit and grit.

My indicators stopped working once. Pulled over, turned key off and on and all good again... I put it down to the 21st century. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don't like the long red plastic bits. 👎

White chain wax.

👆👆 excellent advice on both counts.

New models = new niggles. 🤔

Have you seen the Moffat spitfire yet Stew.?

Fantastic... 👍

Ye, pyramid plastics. Pleased with looks. Should be a big improvement. 👍
