    Hey there, me again. A comment about the Tiger’s Sport mode. Out here in the American Intermountain West we have miles of straight, flat roads that are interrupted by mountain passes. I love riding road mode with its comfortable setting then barely slowing down to hit sport for the stiffer setting over the pass. Crazy! Was off motorcycles for 40 some odd years skiing and Mountain biking, I still ride the Ducati 750 Sport I bought in 1974. I hop on to my Tiger and it’s a magic carpet ride!

    I ride a 22 GT Pro. No significant complaints. I’m 70 and live in an Idaho ski town. Way more dirt than pavement. Your rationals matched mine completely. Sticking to maintained forest roads with pavement in between. I do love my bike but was lured by 24s improvements. A trade in was $9000 so that wasn’t an option. Put it on the block and got 3 calls from scammers, so I’m in love with it again. Think I’m too old to be riding at 7000 rpm. I’m putting some Bridgestone AX41s on Friday so maybe I’ll check out how 6000 or 7000 feels. I know, you’re supposed to get smarter as you age. Whatever

    Here in Europe, I see thousends of BMW GSs but also an increasing number of Multistrada V4s. V4 Rallies are seen less but surprisingly I have seen two in rural France. I own the black full adventure one and could not be more happy with it. Where ever one looks at this bike there are top notch products and systems choosen. May be with the exception of Ducati Connect which uses Sygic instead of Android Auto and Apple Car Play. I get at least 450km with one tank of fuel. Top distance so far was 530 km with still some juice left. Skyhook Evo works amazing.

    Hello from Toowoomba! Man, I get how you feel. I don't ride in the dirt, but the Pikes Peak Multistrada, to me, is a special bike...that I really can't afford. I'll probably end up on the 1300 GS, which I can get with crash bars and panniers for less than I can get the Multi, which I'd still have to pay more for to get heated grips, panniers, etc. If I had the money, I'd do it in a second. Great review.
