I've been ruminating for some time about replacing my 2020 Street Triple 765 RS, with either a Tiger 1050 Sport or Tiger 850 Sport or 900 GT Pro
Although I love the 765 for a local Twisties bike, and don’t really want to part with it, I find myself doing more weekends away to twisty roads further away.
Occasionally I come across gravel roads , although its not something I search out, it does happen from time to time and I hate the thought off taking my 765 on gravel roads, its not that I hate dirt (I rode enduro and adventure bikes until a few years back) I just don’t want to spoil the appearance.
I feel the seating position would also be better as I find the 765 puts more weight through my arms than Id like.(I just turned 60) The suspension of the Tiger would hopefully handle the crap roads we have around here better too.
If my understanding is correct the 850 is a detuned 900, having less torque and hp. but does it really make much difference out on the ride ?
As much as I love all the tech on the 900 Gt Pro, it can be a PITA sometimes, as your locked in to OEM parts etc. The thing that comes to mind with this is heated grips. I tend to use heated gloves over heated grips and as such like to fit my preferred grips (Pro grip Rally grips) on all my bikes. Would this be possible with the integrated heated grips ?
Interested to hear ppl thoughts, particularly if you own/owned a street triple.
