Cutting the engine for the horses was a class act - very admirable. On the other hand, tempting folks such as me with this particular bike is not so good. It's been a long time since a new bike made my pulse grow quicker.

@LickyDischarge 4 года назад

Daniel Graham agreed, class act, well done TMF 😎

@barryroberts2474 4 года назад

I agree with your top five, an excellent bike which I rode for two hours or so a couple of months ago. It is definitely worth a road test if you have any interest in it. As I already have a bike I was not tempted myself but a worthy contender for anyone's money, as you say a lot of value there. An easy ride, and I think a relaxing ride. Thanks for the video.

@kentbrown3736 4 года назад

Loved this video mate. Always check out your current offerings. Would love you to review the current 1050 sport. The front end may be a bit utilitarian and needs a handsome makeover but I think the extra bit of power may just make it my next bike. Currently still in love with a custom Yamaha TDM 900.

@guywolff 4 года назад

The joy this bike brings to your riding is clear ..Anytime you find yourself throwing a bike down a new track because it's there with a smile on your face : You know it's a good fit .I would love to see a shaft drive on this bike. :)

@Dan-56 4 года назад

I had always thought the quick shifter on anything other than a track bike was just a bit of marketing, until I had the chance to try one out with a pillion on the back and realized if I timed the “quick shift” in the right spots there was little or no snatch and jerk to upset the pillion ! So now I understand why they are becoming so popular on touring oriented bikes. 👍 (See, you can teach old dogs new tricks after all 🤪👍.)

@max77ekb 4 года назад

Been riding my Rally Pro for a month and I do agree with every point you've mentioned. Another great improvement is the thermal management. The cooler temp is very stable no matter how hot/cold it is outside. And, no more hot air flow to my knees (I'd owned a Tiger 800 back in the days). As for the wind protection... well... the bike has got some but in no way it compares to the 1200's :) The suspension (The Rally Pro's got Showa on the both ends) is more solid and progressive than the WP used to be. The quickshifter is just a bit rougher compared to BMW's 4-cyl inlines but works perfectly overall.

@IanTed 4 года назад

Much as I love my GSA I am seriously considering one of these, I’ve never seen a bad review. Having had Triumph triples before I know how good they are too, test drive next year me thinks😀

@cogx930113 2 года назад

What happened? Did you get the Tiger?

@sussexbikerpillion 4 года назад

Another triumph winner. Get the feeling the GS has serious competition! Definitely looking for next bike to be a triumph. T120 a speed twin or this one ???? If only I could one of each. Nice to see you in the saddle , a comfy one at that, again.

@wickedcoolname399 4 года назад

Seems like a beauty. I haven't watched or read a negative review yet. Triumph has really been on a roll lately.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

@cmbiker8147 4 года назад

Great review my friend. Triumph have definitely got it right with the tiger series.

@RedlineRossi 4 года назад

So tempted with every Tiger 900 video I see. I am going to get a test ride soon, or when I can get a spare day off. Also TMF, I would love to see the review for the Goretex jacket now that summer is here. I have yet to find a decent, protective jacket that doesn't feel like you are wearing a couple of bin liners on a hot day.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Yes this Dane jacket is a winner - if eye wateringly expensive....but it's the only jacket you need.

@colindeans5972 4 года назад

Nicely done TMF. I bought a Tiger 800 a few months ago and 'think' I prefer it's looks to the 900. The engine sound of the 900 isn't the triple whistle I love, it's maybe a grower. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the token screen.

@brucekendall52 4 года назад

Triumph has certainly done themselves proud with this 900 series.Cheers.

@Cliffanger101 4 года назад

Great review once again - Ive just bought a Tiger 900 and agree completely with your comments. Great price for a top of the range bike and the quick shifter is easily the best ive owned too . It really is a cracking all rounder ! The white and black look great - not sure about the red though - but thats personal choice i guess

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Glad we concur!

@teneretraveller8980 4 года назад

Like it. But tubeless spokes make it perfect I think. And great prices too. Happy travels

@migsteele 4 года назад

Mid-sized, we need more lower CC bikes, but with big bike features, 400cc-600cc with shaft drive for commuters or long distance. Just as an example. I ride every day for work, I don’t need or want a 1200cc bike, but I would appreciate not cleaning the chain each week. Just the little things. 900cc is not mid-sized, the original fire blade was 900cc.

@BangFarang1 4 года назад

And the first Godwing ever was 999cc with shaft. www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/honda_gl1000.htm

@innopriest 4 года назад

A used 1200RS would make a very good commuter. High MPG and no chain. 200 mile range isn't an issue.

@timmo3351 4 года назад

Thought about a maxi scoot? Not for everyone I know. But the BMW ones have lots of big bike features, heated grips/seat, decent storage a bonus for commuting gear.

@migsteele 4 года назад

timmo3351 I like the control of the clutch to be honest. As much as the big scooters do their job. Also so those big scooters are very expensive.

@UncleWally3 4 года назад

I went into a shop to buy a shirt; nice, decent price. However, when I went to pay I was charged extra for the shirt to be shipped to the shop. “What” says I, “that’s ridiculous!” Then the cashier said she’d also have to add a substantial fee for unpacking the shirt and putting it on display. “What” says I again, “that’s ridiculous!” Then, just when I was taking my credit card out, the cashier said, “of course nobody wants the buttons it comes with, they’re really not any good but lucky for you, for a price, better buttons could be bought but of course there’s a significant charge to sew them on, and oh yes, the colour you’ve picked costs more so let’s see, that comes to . . . “ “What” says I, yet again, “that’s ridiculous!”

@richardbrooks4549 4 года назад

Walter Wilkins You’re buying your shirts from the wrong places! Bikes are priced with options because some people want them and some don’t. As long as pricing is transparent I see no problem with that.

@maxflight777 4 года назад

Walter, your post doesn’t make any sense. I think we should be delighted that car/bike vendors offer “basic” models for those who want them. (I tick every box on the option list) ... but it doesn’t guarantee any more smiles/enjoyment than the guy who buys a base model.

@UncleWally3 4 года назад

Max Flight. Unlike purchasing most items (like a shirt) buying a base model off the showroom floor, at least in North America, still requires paying exorbitant shipping and set-up fees. Add to that the sales ploy of parts and accessory configuration. For example, go to any Triumph website to build “your bike” which is basically paying a manufacturer to first sell you parts that are removed then selling more parts that one pays to have replaced. The value of the original parts is often a total loss. I’ve purchased three new bikes in the last dozen years and a couple of almost unused “pre-owned” bikes. In my case, there’s no doubt buying the used bikes was, by far, the better value. And by far, when I sold my fully farkled reconfigured new bikes, the buyers got a great deal - me, not so much. So, whining aside, I’m just tired of the new bike purchase game where one walks in with a legitimate MSRP price in mind and rides out wondering what the hell happened to the MSRP. Maybe it’s just me being a grumpy ol’fart, but on principle I won’t buy another new motorcycle, I’ll wait for a year or two and buy the bike after someone has configured it as both the rider and the manufacturer themselves would have it on the road. Good discussion thread though, I’d love to know where my thinking is wrong - take care, be safe!

@richardbrooks4549 4 года назад

Walter Wilkins Hi Walter. I guess the point is you work out the price for what you want and if you are happy with it, you pay it. If not you walk away from the deal. Triumph made less than £240 per bike they sold last year. Hardly a rip off!

@auscurrymaster 3 года назад

@@UncleWally3 Not sure about North America, but here is Aus (and I believe in the UK as well) you pay the advertised price, without extras for shipping etc. Obviously if you have the guile for negotiation you will get a bit off the top as well, especially if you have ordered accessories with the bike.

@zims65 4 года назад

Very good review Andy. I have had a GT Pro for 2 months now. The only issue I have is on the motorway. There is good usable power but vibration at higher revs. I come from a street triple. Having said that at the first service I borrowed a street and found it so uncomfortable! It’s funny what you get used to...

@BangFarang1 4 года назад

I rode a Rally Pro for a 1-hour test only. When I took my Bonnie T100 back to go home... I felt pain in my backbone!

@patgreenerides 4 года назад

On the motorway in road mode I found there was little difference between the GT Pro and my 1050 Sport.. but.. if its in sport mode on the motorway I noticed significant vibration in the bars..

@mariuszuk79 4 года назад

Great review Andy 👏👏👏 I’m booked for test ride of GT and rally version. Love the look of rally in green and spokes but not sure how 21” front will feel on the road. Please ask Triumph to give us green and 19” spoke tubeless on GT version (optional extras obviously). I’m not the only one who wants that 😆😆😆

@muzzmoto3881 4 года назад

Yes! That would make the decision on the GT pro a no brainer indeed!

@bigbiketrip9182 4 года назад

@trekkydelirium-vroom5821 4 года назад

The Tiger 900 GT is very tempting. Its an expensive bike in Canada. Because of Covid-19, Triumph should offer a 1000$ reduction, a free set of aluminium sides cases & 0 % financial buying rate to motivate me to buy one this summer! If they do, i would buy one! I cannot consider the GT Pro because its really over my budget. I will maybe wait in 2021 for the hopefully improved & upgraded V-Strom 650/700 XT.

@chriswalker9850 4 года назад

@SteveInskip 4 года назад

Great vid and a cracking bike. I’d have that over a GS any day, especially for 1-up. Off road in UK, you’ll be pulling 30-40hp no matter what you ride. What happened to your ‘willing pillion’? Is she washing your kit again? 😉😂😂👍

I did come across images of the Aprila rs660. It is gorgeous. If you happen get your hands on that one and do a review, it would be greatly appreciated. It is a sporty 100 hp parallel twin aimed at the Ducati Supersport V2 (also a beautiful bike). If you get the Aprilia and review it, I will owe you a pint (or two) of beer (not budweiser, Coors or Miller, when you visit Colorado. :) Looks like many folks are turning to lower power bikes these days.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

I prefer the Triumph, got some proper good character where are the BMW is almost too perfect in that smooth germanic way - plus the 850GSA is very heavy to move around, more so than my 1200GS due the high COG. The BMW has a better TFT and arguably looks, bit to me the Triumph is the better bike.....quite close though.

Great review, and while the bike is obviously great for a single rider, I’m keen to know how effective it is with a pillion and panniers, for those of us who do a lot of 2 up touring. Does the GS still have a substantial advantage here? Thanks!

So you replied on my comment on the last video when I mentioned my Tiger 1050 engine. Do you feel like the top end is as revvy and strong with the new firing order? Or does this new motor taper off like a twin?

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Didn't notice it taper off but then I don't ride much over 70mph....

@karlosh2422 4 года назад

The road going variants of the new Tiger 900 do look tempting to me. 900cc and near 100 bhp is plenty for the road !

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Agreed!

The trepidation when a few little puddles appeared in front of your “adventure” bike had me chuckling I must admit. Lovely bike. Enjoy your videos very much, especially the interviews.

@davidharrington1133 4 года назад

Do the Triumph Tiger adventure day in Wales Andy, that will show you exactly what these bikes can do. We use 10% of the capability on the road. "We are taking the bike up there??" was the most commonly heard phrase from me on that day but I can highly recommend it as it gives you huge confidence when you take these bikes on the road. I am sure you could wangle a free day

@@TheMissendenFlyer Shame, I am in no way an off roader myself but as a lesson in what the Tigers are capable of it is is invaluable and it has definitely made me a better on road rider as a result. That was my express intention when taking the course and I definitely achieved that. You definitely won't lift your skirts at some puddles and ruts. No offence :)

Another top review tmf, as you creep up on late 50 s , having a lighter bike makes a lot of sense. 12.8k +luggage ==14k+, too much , but std one all in for 11k sounds a deal but not seen what extras are missing on that. Now that we are seemingly flying the great British flag , can see you getting one of these,even if it is a thaimph. 😬

The camera work from your windshield is amazing. I don't think you've ever done that before. Which camera did you use, and what is the mount on the windshield? It seems pretty firmly attached. Something you certainly don't want to let loose. :-)

Yep, I need to go ride one. It might be a while before I get around to it though. COVID here in Texas is all out of hand. It could well be this time next year of later before it is safe to be out and about again. In the UK you guys might have hated the more struck lockdown and limitations still in place. We barely had a lockdown, starting late and ending early, and are now paying the price for that error.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Yes I fear (if our news coverage is to believed) the US, particularly in some states, has a way to go yet with the dreaded COVID - so sorry you guys are having to face this (we got it wrong here too plainly...). Wishing you and your fellow country mates all the best Bill...stay safe....

@NtGism 4 года назад

Question about your helmet. What are its benefits compared to a normal full-face helmet? Is it just styling? And what are its drawbacks? How noticeable are they?

@paulaus 4 года назад

Adventure Helmets allow you to wear Motocross Goggles which is handy if you are riding off road especially when hot.. You can also pull the visor down when it's wet. The peak keeps the sun out of your eyes. Typically they ventilate really well as well. Disadvantages are they are noisy on the road and the peak and styling means they aren't as aerodynamically efficient as a regular helmet so your head might get knocked around a bit.

OK, watched you vids for a good while and been a member for a (well, wife would say since birth, but for you a couple months!), but serious question time. What's your perceived advantage of having a peaked helmet? Never seen the attraction myself, but you've mentioned on a couple of occasions but I've never understood why. Appreciate your insight as always...

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Well first it looks cool of course and that's very important, but also in summer the peak is great for keeping the sun out of your eyes (also the low sun in Spring/Autumn) + this style of helmet tends to have a larger aperture than standard full face helmets so visibility is superior I find...no disadvantages either really....
