Thank you very much for the honest video about the BMW F 900 XR. I myself also like its appearance, but it is the problems with the neutral gear and the concerns of others regarding maintenance and repair that make me doubt about replacing the current bike, which works flawlessly.

Would very likely also take the cf moto as a bike beside a road bike, or sth even lighter, beta alp 400 or if money would be less the point: kove rallye!

ADV 350 is a scooter and ADV 750 is a motorcycle. No comparisson.

I contacted SW Motech today and apparently they do not have a tank ring for the Rally Pro 24 model! Are you using the '23 ring and if so any problems with fitment? Thank you.

thanks for the great review mate. currently torn between this or CB500X. if it wasn't for the jerky throttle, this would be a shoe in.

The seat on mine has no gap!

Nice review. Ordered my cfmoto just waiting on delivery

I think the tall seat is a must for most people. I can’t understand anyone wanting a bigger screen than this on an ADV, I want wind on my body! I really want this bike!

Well after all this time BSA is not really in the market. Also, since UK left EU it is difficult to see it in Europe...❤

Two things have stopped me from wanting to buy the beautiful Triumph Tiger series: 1.) Too low of gear ratio, and no way to change the final drive to reduce engine RPM's for 75mph cruising. 2.) The new T-Plane crankshaft, which no longer provides the same triple sound and smoothness. But, the Triumph Tiger bikes are some of the best looking motorcycles in the world, and are a masterpiece of engineering in their own right. I might still consider getting one anyway!

sounds like Daniel Craig

I also had put a deposit on the Triumph 400X, and eventually went for a test ride then cancelled my order. I wasn't overly impressed and I certainly didn't like the vibes. In the UK, the CF Moto is only £100 more with a 4 year warranty which resets every time you get your bike serviced by a CF Moto dealer.

Great review..I have this exact bike and agree with 99%..well thought out and presented....but when it comes to comparisons I immediately knew he's unconsciously blinded by his brittishness when he had top 4 bikes as Triumphs...Im not saying honda cb500x is better but your national brand loyalty is overt when looking at your rating / comparison..I'm unfortunately not even intrigued to find out why he believes that because listening to a Brit review a Triumph is similar to a religious worship ritual😉!!

The 450MT is clearly a good motorcycle after the tests and I really like it. But I am interested in two things: 1. Servicing and availability of spare parts, given that it is manufactured in China. The concern relates to a possible political tightening, e.g. between the EU and China and trade sanctions (am I paranoid?). 2. How can the 800m seat height be set on the 450MT? Does this just go down like the Hilalaya? I am about 172 cm tall, and a height of 800 mm would suit me best.

I didnt had good memories from my last chinese bike, 650mt. Ill never buy again a chinese bike, many problems from the first Day, brakes, clanch, cooland system, fuse fails. Every month i was in garage for repairs. Never again, i prefrer a used japan maid or eu maid but no chinese.

I have to disagree with you on the off road capabilities. I ride my 400X on forest roads and gravel roads all around the Algarve and it is very agile. It reminds me of my CRF250L, just heavier. I did put Mitas Enduro Trail tires on at 3500km and they improved its off road capabilities even more. BTW, I’m 63 and have no problem in the dirt on my Scrambler. I also like the tarmac capabilities as well. It handles the twisties along the N120 extremely well, even with the Trail tires. Also great bike for riding around The Monchique Mountains. It definitely isn’t good for long distances. But it’s not made for that.

On the previous generation we can default the mileage on the panel by activating "service interval" on the "screen options". It'll show up by swiping on the TPMS screen. It might be the same on the 2024 model. Unfortunately the 2024 model i tested made more heat to the knees than my RP2021 does. Main reason why didn't bought it.

@RocketMan...i may be in Vilamoura july 6th with my T900 RP (2021). Shall we meet and talk about our bikes?😊

Beautiful

Bravo hai un bel modo di fare le cose! L ho comprata oggi dando indietro il mio scrambler 1200xe spero tu abbia ragione! Ti farò sapere!

I like my Shoei RF-1400, buy it on special though to get better value from it.. I prefer my Scorpion R1 Air and much prefer my AGV K5-S which are both lighter and in my opinion - quieter.

Really interesting comparison, I have a Trident and enjoying at present , will stick with it for a few more years I think.

thanks for the info about the knees, i have a painful knee and need to keep it from getting cold... so i guess the Forsa will be better for me ... have fun in the sun

Just did the first 1000 km here in Poland. Yep great bike but...... It has short gearing, 125 indicated (120 gps) you are at 7000 rpm with 8500 red line. I have already installed 15T front sprocket, that drops the rpm about 500. The fueling off idle is not great (thx euro whatever it is). Throttle cable adjustment helps, but a good tune is the real solution. At 178cm and 75 kgs, bike fits me like a glove. The front suspension is firm, all the way out on preload and still playing with the dampening. Rear I added just a few turns on the preload. I do like the suspension, it's does a very nice job. The exhaust is actually on the loud side, ok I guess I am old. Skid plate is paper thin. I changed oil at 300 km. When removing the skid plate, the lower frame rails(they really are like lower skid plate support tubes, not very substantial) spread by a few cm. I had to use a tie down strap to bring them in prior to reinstalling the skid plate. I got unlucky, my cluth lever came without the pivot bushing pressed in........got replacement under warranty. Love all the adjustments, gear shift lever, both hand levers, suspension........ Mix riding computer shows 3.7/100, refueling math shows 4.0/100. Hope this helps someone.

Since the bike was too tall for your friend Steve, do you know how tall he is?

Commenting on the twitchyness. Triumph wants you to manipulate the preload front and rear to change the rake when going offroad. Sadly their marketing about this is really bad so most journalists/influencers don't know. There is an irish guy who talks about this extensively(@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff).

Nicely commented. When I had the F750GS, which I considered very comfortable and "stately" for riding, one thing that I didn't find pleasant was the sound of the engine when standing next to the idling bike - it was loud, too much for my sensitive hearing. How is your Tiger in this regard? I know what your next bike will be (in not even six months) - a Vespa 300 GTS 🙂

the 2023 you can fit a full face under, just bought one.

I'm still waiting for them to be available in the USA 😞 I'm def going to get one.

awesome ! so it's a keeper until mid 2025 then ? 😀

it will come to the uk for manufacture the price of labour there will make the price go up and subsequently fail. keep it in India and reasonable price.

Great video

Been riding a "cheap" Sedici Viaggio Parlare for 4 years now. Tens of thousands of miles, in all conditions/climates, on and off road. Zero complaints. Tried a Shoei RF1400. nice, but certainly not twice as good (price) as the Sedici. Doesn't even have a drop-down visor or ratchet closure. Returned it. Going to try a GT Air 2 or Neotec 2 since they are both marked down right now due to the third version of each being released. May end up with another Sedici. Who knows. People don't like to admit that the extra money often doesn't actually buy more especially once they already spent that money. Sometimes more money even buys *less.*

Correction ... 450 MT is not "light" weight ... hugely important when off-road.

SW-Motech has already built an Adventure Rack for the rear plate, to fit a topcase like the black boxes seen early in your video. Looks fantastic! And ty so much for your suggestions.

Like your previous video on why you gave your ST 1200 for T900RP, I'm still with you.. The doubt at 17:05 on whether the engrs tweaked the engine, only way to find out is whether you feel that much vibration on your foot pegs and the inner side of the leg hugging the tank.. if yes then the tweak is a ???.. if the vibrations are minimum then they did their magic.. Happy miles From 🇮🇳 India

I’m sad.

I feel the same way. I have a 1300gs ordered and wouldn’t mind a speed 400 for around town fun. But it won’t get enough use to make the purchase logical. It’s funny how the extras on the BMW are more than the price of the Triumph.

Those big rollers are amongst other responsible for that very good throttle response; it is a bit shame that sounds suffers for it though. Hopefully the newer version will be able to account for it. I really like the bike though - thank you for a good review!

I don't want keyless, ever !

Many years ago I learnt "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things". It works.

Hi, are the trunk/bag holders the same as the model 23?Do you use sw-motech? I can't find anything except the original and I don't want that one.thanks for the answer.

The radiator design...why oh why? Superb review from a rider owner perspective. Thank you.

"Low cost of ownership" I'm not sure how that applies more for the Honda instead of the CF Moto, tbh. Maybe if we only consider that because it is a Honda it won't require much servicing/fixing, but even that doesn't track for me because the CF Moto has a two-stroke and the NX500 has a four-stroke.

The display on the first generation Tiger has I think, been designed by a 3 year old child. Great review by the way

Thanks for a great video! I'll be visiting Portugal this September, riding from Belgium on a Husqvarna LR 701 enduro, doing a bit of easy gravel tracks along the way. Any suggestions on which parts of Portugal I should really visit or avoid? Thank you 😊 ❤

There must be a glitch in The Matrix, RocketMan has picked a cheap Chinese bike over the other 3. It was going to happen sooner or later. They're getting much better and the 'big 4' had better watch out, because they're coming after you.

Just considering this in a 2021 euro 4 version know you’ve sold yours will ride it over summer before deciding what’s needed before changing anything but seems like rear shocks would be top of list
