your 850 sport videos are amongst a handful few all over youtube that have helped me make a buying decision on this motorcycle. thank you, sir.

Loved this. Thanks for ride and the info. I fell in love with tigers when they first came out and wished I had one then, but seeing the development and the styles there are now, I really like where the tigers are going.
Another great vlog TMF. Keep them coming.

Great video! Your review format is far and away the best out there!

Hi Andy. Great real world review as ever. I am a big fan of your friendly and polite style. Due to Australian lockdown, I can't ride with mates, but you are the next best thing. Thank you sir !

Great review. I got one in June and agree with all your comments. Always had bigger bikes in the past and must say this is a delight to ride with ample enough power. I did test ride both the 850 & 900 and I thought the 850 was a lot smoother power delivery, especially lower down. I believe it’s only 9bhp less than the 900 anyway, however it seems a nicer tune. I did go for a few extras like you mentioned, heated grips/guards and yes, a centre stand :-)

Nice vid. I really like these in depth reviews. Very useful & their getting more & more polished too.

Thanks for the review Andy. Seems a decent bike if you like to go off road now and again. I always enjoy your videos. Much appreciated.

Mr Flyer
Great review of the Tiger 850! I think is great that Triumph created the perfect entry level ADV motorcycle at a good price. Thanks for the review!
🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂

Excellent review as always. A paddock standard for chain maintenance probably the way to go. Not useful when on the road but handy at home.

The only Tiger 850 review that shows exactly what's under the seat.

Another great review. I looked at the 900gt pro, but eventually ran out of patience for delivery (9 months+), so kept my 800 Xrx. Perhaps should of looked at the 850 sport.

Fair comments all round I would say.
I’ve got the big brother in the green, and since running it in by March this year (I am abroad a lot!!) I have since ridden it to Munich in torrential rain, back from Munich (in one day) to attend the ABR festival and then back down to Munich (again with too much rain 🤔) it is as comfortable as you could ever want. I have also only ridden it in road (well and rain) mode, until coming back on the 1 day run, where as I was adjusting from KM to miles I looked at the mode and thought “Oh I should try sport” and believe me, you could lose your license very easy. My only gripe is that I brought the RallyPro because at some stage I will be looking to do some light off road touring and I love the spoked wheels etc, but the tyres are like you get on a sports bike, why oh why don’t they give you the Annakee tyres on the off-road focused bike 🤔 
Sorry two gripes, the oil site class is smack behind the bulk of the brake lever and wearing glasses too is a nightmare 

Overall I love it to bits, however I could have had the 850 and a CRF300 at once, could I have sold that idea to the missus (probably not)

Stay safe, enjoy the sun, looks like I will riding home again in September, I might try and take a few days and explore a bit 😂

Great bike. Owned a Triumph Tiger for two years. Only thing it lacked for me was the ‘ grin ‘ factor. 👍

[MrG-uk]

Nicely summed up TMF, I really like it apart from the TFT, at night looks like a blooming Christmas tree.

[campbellclark]

Mate! With regards to that single light or both lights option: the single light is great for manoeuvring your bike around a garage or other dark place at night without being too blinding. A useful creature feature!

[nickenyfiken]

Hi and thanks for your fine review. I agree with you on ”riding modes”. Less is more, there are too many options on some bikes. Heated grips should have been standard, especially on northern markets such as here in Sweden. Currently I’m riding my Thruxton RS with a big smile but this Tiger is an option due to riding position… and my age 63 😂
However looking forward to your next test.
Cheers ✌🏻

Great review. Got mine on order, due October. Can't wait! It's true about availability. Order now and it will be next year before you get one.
