    Hi guys

    I wonder if anyone feels the same as me about the 1st and 2nd gear ratio is wider than it should be...
    I m kinda agressive rider and need to go down to 1st gear at sharp turns so often when considering the others in my group who rides KTM or BMW.
    Any thoughts?
    Regards

    @Erkan Turk:
    I also rode a Tiger 1200 from 2022 in the past. In comparison to the mentioned BMW or KTM the Triumph Tiger 1200 is a "Sir". You can ride it hard to, but the exceleration is not directly comparable to the other types.
