GlobeBusters has chosen to use the Triumph Tiger 900 and the all new Tiger 1200 as the adventure motorcycles for our Motorcycle Tour Managers on our tours and expeditions.  Whilst we used the BMW GS range in until 2014,  the choice of adventure motorcycles has now become extensive and the Triumph offering is superb.  We have used Triumph adventure bikes since January 2015.

You do not need to ride a Triumph Motorcycle to join our tours and expeditions.  All brands of bike are welcome and we have extensive experience with other manufacturers.

The Tiger 900 Rally is a phenomenal machine, perfect for a solo rider on tour, being able to tackle long distances in the saddle, as well as tackling the rougher dirt roads that are common in more remote parts of the world.  Julia rode this bike on our Iceland Motorcycle Tour and loved the smooth engine and the seamless delivery of torque. It handled the gravel tracks of the F-35 with ease and was comfy on the tarmac roads of Iceland’s Ring Road.

What’s more it’s reliability and robustness is second to none.  The Triumph Tigers have never let us down and we’ve ridden them in Africa, Asia and South America.  For the type of rides we do, the most important factor is how reliable a bike is – it’s no good being told in the middle of Turkmenistan to take you bike to the nearest dealer to sort out a problem.

Kevin has ridden the all new Tiger 1200 on our Southern Africa Expedition.  He has previously ridden the previous generation, but he says that this transformational adventure bike is a phenomenal ride for our longer distance expeditions.  Its much lighter, the weight is well balanced and it gobbled up the corrugated dirt roads in Namibia, as well as being a smooth and comfortable ride along those long tarmac sections of the Caprivi strip.  And because its service range is 10,000 miles, there is no need to plan for any servicing throughout the Africa expedition.

For the Trans Americas Expedition, it will eat up the big miles along the Pan American Highway and for our London to Beijing Expedition, it will  tackle the rough high altitude roads of the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan with ease.
