You have a Triumph Tiger 900?  On my shopping list..... (or the rumoured upcoming 950..).  Things you like & don't like about it?

Likes: Heated grips and seat. Never thought I'd care about that stuff, but it's been a life saver on this trip. Love the quick shifter And the ride modes (although I've been in rain mode or off-road mode the whole trip.) Super comfy...I can ride this bike for hours on end. I've been putting in six plus hours a day on this trip. Bike has tons of power. I can lug it down in 4th, or rev it out in 3rd. I hear it has a 6th gear, but I've never used it.
Dislikes: It's heavy, dry. With hard luggage, loaded, it weighs in at over 600lbs, making it a chore to pick up. You have to come to a complete stop to select or deselect off road mode (which turns off abs and traction control, as well as changing the power map.) Cumbersome... And the bike is almost to tall for me (5'10"). Makes for the occasional 'oh shit' moment, especially off road. Lastly, the seat isn't as comfortable as my 2016 Tiger was.
