Amazing coincidence, I just got back from a tiger 900 test ride and you've got a video on the GT, I'm going for the GT, it meets my needs.

@hkviking 4 года назад

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO is currently the best motorcycle out there. I Have tested this up against my old BMW GS 1200 (2015) which is my previous motorcycle. NO doubt the Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO is better in every way. More refined and so on. I have had mine now for two months. Do not regret the swap. LOVE IT IN EVERY WAY :)

@cpuuk 4 года назад

My brother road GTpro as a possible replacement for his 800Xrt, he thought it was better, but not enough to warrant an upgrade.If you want a bargain (same horsepower) also consider the out going 800.

Another great review! Passed my Mod1 test on Tuesday, and now have an impatient 3 weeks till the Mod2. As a fellow Triumph fan, I have my dream bike, a 2016 Triumph Thruxton 900 waiting for me in the garage, but now seeing your review of the Tiger makes me think it'll be perfect for a first 2nd bike..

@tommeytommey2742 3 года назад

Every since my 95 Triumph Sprint set up with all 3 monokey cases I have loved me a Triumph triple. I think this will be my next bike. Especially with all the nice features being factory and not after market. Definitely a plus when the features (both heated seats, heated grips, cruise control, usb ports etc) are calculated during engineering you know they are meant to all operate together going down the interstate. I have had most of the name brand motorcycles at some time but have always been partial to Triumph. Great review!

@andrewedmond7738 4 года назад

G'day TMF, I have ridden the Rally Pro and it is amazing! The handling is great on twisties considering it runs a 21 inch front. My off road usually consists of fire trails and solid tracks so the Tiger would suit me to a Tee. On the highways, it is so comfortable. Now I have a drama in that as I'm getting a little older (61), would It be a more practical bike to own than the R1250 GS Beemer that I have always admired. At least I have a little time to weigh up the pro's and con's of both machines, as the bike I choose will be a retirement pressy to myself. Great stuff as usual brother. Have a good one.

@framusburns-hagstromiii808 4 года назад

I just checked the only two Triumph dealers in my area, Anchorage and Seattle ..both show a starting price for the 2020 Tiger GT pro at $16,400.00 add on to that a hefty $550.00 destination charge plus taxes , license and other random 'fees' and your in the neighborhood of $18,000.00! Better be well heeled if you shop for one!! I guess you get what you pay for but I dunno...at that price point, I would definitely look at All contenders seriously before committing to purchase. Thanks for yet another great review. Cheers!

@xchalibur77 4 года назад

I think you are right, me too use to watch 800 to 1000 adventure bikes but lately prices on them made me change my mind So now I really consider a versys 650 with luggage at 7400. That’s a pretty good deal I believe, if the power it’s enough that is.

TMF, great video. That quick shifter sounds like a hoot. While you have the bike, could you try it on some twisties, the motorway and well-maintained unpaved country lanes? I think this GT could do all three very well.

@St4ticBloodLust 4 года назад

I'm so excited that you did a review on this. I have a Rally Pro in white. Unfortunately the green was back-ordered for my area (100 miles) for 5 months. If you do get to ride the Rally Pro here are some differences you are going to notice; Can't flat foot, might be close though (i have a 32" inseam, its not to bad with boots). The center stand seems a bit of a hassle to use unless you take off the passenger foot peg (its right in the way for where your calf wants to go when pressing down)... however once you take that peg off it goes up unbelievably easy. If you do take it down a green lane, its going to be really confidence inspiring. The suspension is not electronically controlled, but is really soft and yet you can still really lean it into corners and never feel like you lose any grip. The rear break can be adjusted up by simply lifting up and rotating it to make it easier to use off road (not going to lie, its going to be a pain in the butt the first time you try to do it). One thing you did see or note, that took me a while to realize, is that they only put one sticker on the beak of the bike to tell you what model it is. I just find that funny and weird at the same time. Since you have the bike for a couple of weeks one thing you'll find is that at 65+ mph the screen at the high position will cause buffeting, but in the low position its perfect. If i was to give my two cents on the things I don't like about the bike its really only two things, one is if using GPS through the Triumph app it only gives you turning information and not a full map on the screen even though they use google maps. The second is that the screen needs a rework of the way the rpm is displayed. Honestly both can be fixed with a software flash so its not like its not achievable. Other than that I'll be excited to see the next video on the bike! Great job as always!

@colingoldthorpe5918 4 года назад

Awesome review TMF, I think like a lot of people have commented the price of these are crazy, they have the top of the line GT Pro Rally at the dealer and it’s the same price as the 1200 Tiger when I bought my Trophy SE three years ago, so the smaller model is priced the same as the bigger model used to be. The 900/800 market is ok for single riders but two up loaded down with gear for long trips it’s just too small. I try to buy English built products as you know, 3 mini coopers in the garage and my Trophy, but when I heard mass layoffs and shifting production abroad I’m hesitant giving them another $20K of my money. I’m leaning towards the Africa Twin for serviceability and it’s cheaper here than the Tiger. Dealership network in Canada is 600 miles west or 800 miles east, which is a little worrying when you set off with the wife on the back. Awesome review as normal, it would be nice if Triumph could comment about the future locations of production. It reminds me of an Apple product “designed in California” written all over it but made in China.....

Hi Andy, after being smitten by the good looks, watching the reviews and reading the specs for this 900 GT Pro, I was convinced that this was to be my next bike. I rode my T120 via my chosen test route en route to the dealership and then retraced it on the GT Pro. I loved the suspension and flickable handling, kept looking for higher gears that weren’t there and was surprised how skinny the hand grips felt in comparison to the Bonneville’s. The seat felt plush initially but it wasn’t long before I started to try to find a different position to sit on it. The real crunch was how tiring the vibes through the bars were, I haven’t ridden the 800, which is often described as being “buttery smooth” so I can’t compare but the new T plane crank and firing order didn’t do it for me. Riding home on the Bonneville felt so comfy and satisfying in comparison and I’ve never been so disappointed after a test ride in well over 50 years of motorcycling.

@applecorp 4 года назад

I can confirm my 2018 Tiger 800 XRT is buttery smooth. I guess the new T plane introduced some vibes to the bike, which is a shame. That was the reason I sold my Tracer 900.

@viktornilsson7867 3 года назад

@@applecorp I test rode both almost back to back, and while I loved the changes to the ergonomics/seat and the engine torque, those vibes were absolutely clear, and I doubt I would stand it on long days. At least with cruise you can let go of the bars slightly.

@nevillelake1403 3 года назад

I road a heritage classic on the whole of Route 66 two years ago , all fantastic , so comfy, enough power , except the brakes are just not up to it with the weight of the bike. In America with their huge long roads it didn’t miss a beat but with such tight twists , room etc in the uk environment, I’m sure I would not enjoy it as much. Me and my mate were really sorry to hand them back after 2600 miles of sunshine riding. Very expensive just to take out in the sunshine.

@paulwood7798 3 года назад

Just bought a 2021 Red with added Arrow can crash bars and a few bits and pieces for £13,000. A sort of impulse buy with itchy fingers to go touring again. For the money I thought it was a steal and I can join the TOMCC again which I missed. I am engineering a Clutch Fluid bottle as I agree with you on that one but an Italian chap makes top quality screens deflectors to order and I had one on my last Triumph which was superb. Bigger and wider with a few strategic slits and a slight centre spine to push the air round you. They are quality products.

@wickedcoolname399 4 года назад

I'm so happy this is available. I had my eye on a 2018 Tiger 800 XRT, and I'm assuming with all the great reviews this new 900 is getting the leftover 800s should be getting discounted. I'm sure the new 900 is a fantastic bike, but a two year old, top of the line 800 will do for me, especially if the price is a few thousand below the 2018 price.

@ozrider8896 4 года назад

Looks a nice bike looking forward to the long term review, just an observation but try adding what your inseam leg size is rather than you’re 5’8” not everyone has the same body and leg measurements. This would be a lot more accurate sizing for all I think. Great vid keep up the good work.

I’d been waiting for your review of the Tiger 900, but when showrooms reopened I couldn’t resist a test-ride. The difference between this and my 2017 800 XRT was night and day. I was that smitten I gave up on my shortlist and bought it!! I concur with everything you said, and I’m happy it seems to have your endorsement! Loving the new engine sound, low down grunt and handling over previous. I have to say I’m having issues with the connectivity side of things and I’ve given up on it for now, but other than that I love the new (white) bike. Green is definitely the best colour, but didn’t want to compromise the road handling by going for the Rally.

The plastic is not good to view through it. I am 5’4” touch the ground with toes. Short riders would view through it. I have 3rd party fly screen in another bike which is very good to see through it. I may go for this or BMW R1250 RS.

Defo the bike that I want to add to my Street Triple. Need a slightly more easy to tour on bike and this is top of the list. Although I’ve toured on the Streety and it’s not as bad as it sounds. But I really do like this new Tiger. Just need the cash now 😂

This is the review I’ve been waiting for! I’m actually scared to test ride one because I know I’d want to chop in my trusty 800. The mirrors are a backwards step though, and although I would personally choose black anyway the colour schemes are boring. Ironic considering the great paint jobs Triumph have done in the past! Also disappointing that the service intervals are still 6000 miles when many rivals are longer.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Yes agreed all round...great bikes these though none the less.

@frankgrindrod1338 3 года назад

First up, loving your videos. High quality. What's your perspective on the new engine and the slight increase to vibrations? Have watched a lot of reviews and most experienced riders, such as yourself, seem to take the view that it is still pretty smooth even with the update to gain more torque and traction.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Correct - I found it a great unit, like this bike s lot...

I really like this model from Triumph! It's the perfected slot in terms of engine and size of a practical all around bike! I'm kind of a larger bloke and yet what really appeals to me is the flickable aspects this bike gives to me. It inspires the confidence of the all day traveling machine with it's uncanny abilty to feel far lighter than it is! It's just the right machine for the modern all day traveler! Kudos to Triumph!

Took the 900 pro on test run last week and loved it. All the reviews are praising it. Looks like it’s time to trade in the v-strom for a tiger.

Thinking of "downgrading" my Explorer 1200 to the new Tiger 900 as I'm not a tall bloke by any means, I think it just makes more sense. Loving it by watching videos, I'll try to test ride soon.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Makes complete sense! ...I consider it a great upgrade in fact!

@banzai385 4 года назад

Had a Tiger 800 for 9 years , loved it , no problems, waited for the 900 but after the test ride preferred the 800 triple over the 900 so bought the last 800XRX in the country , happy days. If I wanted a twin I would have bought one , but I prefer the silky 800 over the grunty 900

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Fair enough...

@cruisingthethaiway6881 4 года назад

I rode the Tiger 900 Rally Pro. I was amazed how confortable it is, handles fantastic and brakes, wow. Solid bike in every way. It didn't have the power that my 2019 Tracer 900GT has, yet I was fine with that. If it wasn't for the extreme amount of heat directly on my knees, I would have traded my bike on the spot.

@Pomoz7 4 года назад

Ahh, still has the heat issue. Not very practical if you live in a tropical climate. I'll stick with my Tracer GT.

@cruisingthethaiway6881 4 года назад

@@Pomoz7 yes, exactly the problem here in southern Thailand. I'm hopeful that a aftermarket heat deflector will be available soon

@roryferguson2003 4 года назад

Had the 800 and now the 900 and yes the indicator and joystick do slot into muscle memory so are not an issue. If I could of done so I would have kept the 800 (still get the 900) as the "eagerness" of the 800 was fun but the 900 can be ridden very lazy (as if it were just a twin) if you wish to do so. Definately more low/mid range grunt will pick up from 25/30 mph in 4th or 5th without complaint.

@paulh8849 3 года назад

Hello mate, just wanted to ask a question if you don't mind. I was in the market for a new 900 Rally Pro, however that might now be more realistic in another 18 months. So based on you're a previous 800 owner, would you (if in my position), consider an 800, with the fact I could pick up a fully loaded second hand XCA for less than £9k, saving me a whopping £5k and be happy with it, or would you wait, be patient and go for the 900?

@Miata822 4 года назад

I've been waiting for this review! Thinking about getting one when (if) this darned virus lets up. Here in Texas it's just getting worse and worse. I was worried that the new firing order would ruin that triple feeling. Seems like that's not the case. Good. More torque down low will be a big help vs. the 800. Question: I haven't seen reference to the ABS/TC. Does it use an IMU (lean sensitive and all)? I look forward to your follow-up videos.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

I can’t remember Bill - I think so....
