I'm completely out of the swim for such a bike as the Triumph Tiger GT PRO is it in the same genre as the Honda Africa Twin variants?

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

I’d be interested to see how Mike gets on with the (pseudo) 270° engine.
So far so good but only 250 miles ridden. I don’t have much to compare it with as previous bikes have all been twins back to my CB 250G5 in 1979. I did test the 660 tiger sport but didnt click with it. Will report back on how I get on.

Hacked off as went out for a run in the beautiful weather today; got home and the gear shifter knob fell off. Seems to have either not been properly welded to the shifter arm or mysteriously sheared through. 334 miles from new, let’s see how the warranty performs.

Oh Mike not a great start for the new bike - thank goodness it was nothing serious like a brake part.

Are you refering to the short shaft on the front of the shifter that is usually has a rubber on it?
