Default Triumph Sprint GT test ride vid

Thought I might post this up here. Not exactly high quality journalism, but thought it might be interesting for some!

I'm 6'2" and for both your reasons,screen and knees I still have the older 955i Sprint. Not a massive difference in performance but with a touring screen it eliminates both problems,knees and buffeting,also the seat is more like a big armchair.Considering I am over 65 I still have no problems doing 500mile days.
Hope you find the Tiger more to your liking ,not quite so much top speed so on fast cruising uses about 2-3 litres more per fuel tank range than my old Sprint
Personally I like the 800 and have seen one with a proper screen fitted and the fella that had it reckoned it was pretty good at 80ish on the motorway for wind protection.

Glad to see someone else has lank issues. I'll do a Tiger review vid at some point. I have a test ride vid to edit together, but I'll do a proper review vid too once I've been in the saddle for a while and let you know how it really fairs. I must admit I did a good 90 (kmph obviously ahem) well testing it and found with the taller aftermarket screen on it wind protection was good. The demo bike I tested too had the normal screen and did have the buffeting effect too.
