Over 20,000 miles on my GT Explorer and it is the best in the sector for me. Quickshifter is fantastic too!

With blind spot detectors if I'm moving off my line I would still turn my head and look, nice to have as indicators but wouldn't bet my life on them. I use them in ,my SUV, and find them more useful because there are blind spots in my SUV.

I have the 750 transalp, it sounds very good

The RPM/vibration test was really interesting and useful.

Ended up with a 900 rally to complement my T120. Previous adv was a 1200 LC GS. Dare I say, i don't miss the boxer engine at all and much apreciate the triple, the Stylemas and the overall feel over my ,,old" gs. Sure, it has it's quarks but all motorcycles do.

Refined! A 3 cylinder! It sounds sick, how can it be refined? Unlike what people say, is not the best of a twin, and the best of a quad cylinder. Remove the best of a twin and the best of a quad, that's a triple. And it's definatly NOT half a 6 cylinder. An inline 6 is the best possible, an inline triple is the worst possible. I remember a boxer 4 to be peculiar, interesting though, the way it revs is something you get used to quickly. A triple... I can't remember a single thing I liked about that stupid layout. Really awful. I'll take any twin over the "best" triple. And I don't really like the engine in your BMW. Never had a twin I didn't like, all with different vibes. 4 cylinders is a different beast, not better, different. 3 cylinders is shite. Sounds like shite. That brit toy is anything but reliable, meaning is shite. I don't care about power (speed bumps, speed traps, overzealous pigs, narrow roads, roundabouts, potholes, slow lorries, campervans and caravans which you can't overtake... What do you need 140hp for?) lightness is what I care about the most. A triple is not suitable for that. Heavy as a 4 cylinder with less power and the same maintenance costs, minus a spark plug (8/10€).

What riding mode are you in? Look at your dashboard. It's right in front of you. The icon with the solid lines on each side with the dotted line in the middle is Road Mode. This kind of thing is what makes it difficult to take a lot of these UA-cam reviews seriously. Seems like criticism for the sake of criticism sometimes. You can't expect to jump on a technologically advanced bike, without reading the owner's manual and expect to know how everything works and where to find everything. 🤦‍♂️

Good first ride review. I personally spent a lot more money on my 2023 R 1250 GS and have exactly zero regrets. Could not possibly be happier. The Triumph 1200 is a great bike, just not for me. BTW welcome back to my UA-cam channel lineup 👏👏👏 👊 🇺🇸.

Not really, it has bad aerodynamic, lots of wind buffeting

Nice review. Thank you. With this engine in its conventional firing order the engine is as smooth as butter. The cross plane crank is just too vibey and snatchy for any significant long distance comfort. I can understand why it benefits in off road conditions however how many spend each day off the sealed roads.

Italian school of art.

I did a testride in Cluj this year and i loved it but there where a few bits and bobs that i disliked: 1. Great engine but its neutered electronically. On higher speeds spectrum 150+ runs out of puff, but what an engine and throttle remap can't fix.. Vibes didn't bother me. 2. As you said the instrument cluster is laggy/slow. 3. The footrest asymmetry; left leg is more outward than right leg. For me it was noticeable and annoing. 4. And the exhaust position but thats common with the current ADV bike lineups. High and long, thus loosing cargo space in right box. 5. Rear radar design/integration to me looks like an after tought. As a 1.88m rider and 130 kg at that time, i found the Tiger 1200 really comfy but a few tweaks are needed to be even better like: 1. Taller windshield because it caused some noise/ buffeting. 2. Handlebar rotated forward @ 5~10° angle because it creates some akward wrist positions. For me, ist best option if you dont want a BMW R1300GS/A with a boxer engine, design wise i like both, the new 1300GSA first and Tiger 1200 second and regular GS third.

Apologies for picking at you, I love ya, man, but needed the amusement today....

Huh. You say you have great condition roads, yet bitch when they're being fixed. Tch, tch, tch. You took a looong break, didn't you....

Confirmation bias - you never love the 1st of a new to you bike, or anything....

Did you notice any driveshaft-lash??

At least it's not as ugly as the new 1300GSA. Tiger switch gear has always been complicated, but the 660 is a nice laid-out bike. I'll stick to my RS1250.

Have you been on the back of a new 1200 Tiger so far and if so, was it worth the hype for you?

In the UK these bikes cost £18,995 which to me is a lot and to be honest I could get 2 CF Moto 800MT's for that much. And they both do more or less the same thing, only one is made in China and the other is probably made somewhere in the Far East too. Modern big bikes are getting ridiculously expensive and as such, will only ever appeal to a niche market.

Kwaai...! 👌

I like that colour scheme

Fake news, I have this chain on my BMW F850GS and had to have it tightened. But yes, no regular cleaning or lubing needed.

Looks like 150 hornet

I'm highly considering this as my next bike, after being off bikes for several years and just wanting a nice reliable, comfortable all rounder lil bike. I enjoyed your review and getting the perspective of someone who is " very slim fit " like myself on this lil Honda. Thanks!

4 years later........ where is it?

Looking forward for the 250 version, if Honda decides to sell it in Europe.

The sprockets will still wear out...

All fixed now. Finally good.

Love it thanks from Durban

Great video , just saved a bill from BMW paying out thanks

O-ring chains are just another modern-day gimmick. Funny how us old-timers got 50k out of a regular chain. All we had. Does not take long for o-rings to wear out. ESPECIALY off-road in the dirt and mud. Not what o-rings were designed for. How do you plan on getting lube back into chain then? Stick with a regular chain. Stop being lazy and take 5 minutes and lube it once in a while. Will last you years and years.

Have a look at eastern german old MZ Motorcycles. They have chain casettes to fully enclose the chain drive and keep it clean and lubed.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR MOTORCYCLE IS PART Of THE FUN, IF You can't maintain it don't ride,.. Most folks of my age,use to buy old none runners,and rebuild em, Even my generation had the bank of mum & dad, But they didn't ride for long,cause parents bought em a car, It's a different world now, Fun,is squeezed out of ya wallet, In the old, and SHIT DAYS,It was beg steal,an borrow, ..wellies,no helmet,or gloves,"bird "on the pillion, wearing a silk scarf, of course,to keep the hair nice, But there was always the odd rich dude that had the gear!motorcycle manufacturers,now, Would look down on us,as freaks from another planet, look how riders of Chinese bikes are ridiculed, Not for long!..The price of motorcycles,an accessories,in some cases is atrocious, But there will always be tight fisted,weasels, like me,that'll skin farts,looking for a bargain,..how much was that chain again?....pass the oil can.

Cant leave anything in the storage compartment here in the UK the Romanians will steal the contents shame really

Stock exhaust sounds like garbage

Cagaram na honet modelo antigo era mais bonito e mais forte

So. You get 80miles on a full charge. However, you should only charge it to 80% because charging it above that causes the battery to degrade prematurely. Then, we are told you should not let the battery go below 20%, because that also causes the battery to degrade. That means you can only actually use 60% of the battery’s capacity. 60% of 80 miles is only 48 miles, which is absolutely no use to me at all. Hopeless.

Last year I had test rides on lots of bikes including the hornet with quick shifter, I found the hornet powerful, flickable and good fun, only problem for me at 6ft I found it a bit cramped so ended up buying the Suzuki 8s as it felt slightly more comfortable for my size. Hornet is a great bike.

Great to have you back...liked and thanks as always..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What’s the problem with belt drives? I’ve had one for over 15 years and never had a problem with it.

The only electronics I need on a motorcycle is... NONE. "Dude looks like a lady"... That's suspicious of you. 😄😄 Contradicting what I said before, because I DON'T really need it, quick shift is definitely something that all motorbikes should come with these days. There's no discussion, it is fugly. If you compare it to the yamaha (phukc yamaha by the way), is not so bad. Yes I do remember your review of the T7, you don't remember me telling you that the throttle is not so bad, or bad at all, once you get the hang of it and massage the clutch lever. (Not defending yamaha in any way, f them) And yes, the T7 is expensive, very, I had good times riding it. Paint quality and service ruined it for me. Never again I'll buy from them. Ever.

Unfortunately Honda has not brought this bike to the USA or Canada. Very good review.

What about the deformation of the sprocket teeth over time. On my dirt bikes basically after two rear tyres a complete chain and sprockets are needed too. Not really the breakthrough in technology described in the title

Wait, you were once young?

The CB650 E-Clutch is a better option in my opinion. It feels like a quality product and you can tell it has decades of development. I would get it while it is still available.

Good to see you! I hope you have been well.

Glad to see you're back, man. You are very unique at what you do and your voice is quite memorable. All the best. 👍

Your accent sounds like an afrikaans guy, speaking English.

Youll still wear out the sprockets and the chain bushing on the outside. Yay

Excuse me but a belt-drive (chain has only 3% loss, belt has 11% loss and shaft-drive has 30% loss).
