That's one sharp looking Ride you got there!



Good Call.

[Herb]

How about a pic with the luggage on? I and, probably, a lot of others would like to know how the luggage looks on it.

And I can see why!

That new Bad Boy of yours just BEGS to be out there,...carving corners.

Could you be sure to take a Pic of the mounted bags from the Right Rear Corner looking forwards across the seat?

Very nice. Have fun eh.

I had trouble getting a leg over the darn thing LOL, dang they sit pretty high even for this 5' 11" Cajun.

Did your bike have the function that lowered the bike 2 Inches?

I had a friend who bought one when they first came out, he was 6' 3" and had no problem getting in the saddle.
He loved it and rode it on several 200+ mile trips we took as a group.
Happy Trails MC!

My buddy Jim Green taught me how to do it with ease, and he’s a pretty tall guy. All ya do is step up on the left footpeg and swing your leg over. I’ve been mounting up on my Triumph Tiger using this method for 6 years now!

Mike, nice bike. Welcome to the ADV family!

[MadCow]

Yes, it has the auto ride height...lowers itself when needed and seems to know when it needs to be raised. Makes it easier to get on. I alsu use the left peg and then swing my foot over...as Keith stated. When I am at a stop I can MOSTLY flat foot.

Congratulations on the new ride MC .
I still have my GS and I do like getting it dirty, so lots of fire trails and single track riding. Once you wear out those stock tires slap on a set of mitas E-07 tires. They last forever and they grip great on and off-road. The nice thing is that the design doesn't feel like you're riding on a 50/50 tire.

What luggage did you go with? I wish I had known you were going to get this because I have a spare set of aluminum panniers I could have given you.

Anyhow congrats again and enjoy but remember the 3 months rule. Get to know how she handles every scenario and be extra careful.

Those are the tires I am going with next year...I bought the Harley Sport set. And yes, I have been riding it a lot but taking it real easy...it's new and handles differently than any other bike I have had. I keep the ride mode in "rain/wet road" ....havn't used Sport or Offroad. I love how when I come to a stop the bike lowers itself.

Mike, nice bike. Welcome to the ADV family!

I've sat on your Tiger and my PAN AM feels smaller.

[Tbeck]

MC glad you are enjoying it. Now put the dang thing in normal ride mode, the abs and traction control works fine . I think that you are probably going to find yourself wondering why it took you until now to pick up a bike that will go anywhere.
Anyhow stay safe, enjoy, and perhaps we can get together for a ride sometime in the spring
