MY REASONS for buying the TRIUMPH TIGER 900 GT PRO 

I part exchanged my Tiger Sport 1050 for a Tiger 900 a month ago. I have been riding for 40 years & I think the Tiger 900 is the best bike I have ever owned. The bike is packed with useful tech & is light enough to flick around a car park like a BMX. No more worrying about dropping it. I'm 2 up touring with my wife from Santander to Barcelona in July so will be interested to see how it performs on a long trip. The 900 has put the fun back in to biking again because it is so accessible.

It’s great that you found a bike that puts a smile on your face It’s one of the many reasons why so many people love travelling on two wheels

Good for you to have the energy to start a channel!! I picked up a GT Pro last year as well. I have an aging body with a few replacement parts and I can’t get after it the way I used to. My rationale is almost identical to yours. I’m in Idaho where dirt roads far outnumber the paved. The bike is a dream

You had me at “ding bell thingy!” Picked up my GTPro a few weeks ago. Bought it on a whim after minimal research. I find your video thoughtful, accurate and reassuring that I picked a good one! Thanks for the work! Be safe out there.

Mate. This I think is the best video of this type of RU-vid today. And in saying that I would watch 5 plus per day in the last year that I haven't had a bike (longest in the last 28 or so years) . You explained reasons and fairly evaluated the others. I just about always knew I would buy a 900 gt pro over the 1200 rally and the 1290 ktm s. But you really cemented that I have made the right choice. Keep making content. Subscribed.

Very interresting stream of consiousness about bikes that are on my list of possible future purchases. Well done.

Glad I found your channel, really enjoying it!

Well done... owned several adv bikes and your assessment is spot on against the competition.

Great vid ! I’m deciding between this exact bike and the MG 85 … have to book the test drives next :)

I live in Texas and have a 2021 Pan America Special with adaptive ride height but the bike is still a lot to handle. You made the right choice.

Great bike! I currently own the Tiger 800xc from 2013 and love it when it comes to driving characteristics :) Design wise I prefer your model, Triumph did an excellent job with their latest models

A good and honest review. Thanks and enjoy your biking and stay safe. : )

Awesome vlog, very informative

Hello from Texas. Great Video. I’m glad you found the Bike that fits you, it all comes down to personal Taste. I like the Beak on the Adventure Bikes. It makes them look more like a Enduro. I Ride a R1200GS and love it, but that’s me. If I was to ever get a different Bike, it would probably be the Yamaha. I really like the looks of that one also, plus it sounds great. I enjoyed the Video and look forward to more.👍👍

Very useful info - thanks. How is the wind protection at speed?

Great info thanks

I totally agree with you 👌💯👍 a fantastic review 👍

I bought a 2022 tiger 900 gt after getting back into riding after a 25 year absence raising two daughters and getting them through college. Thought it was time for me to have some fun and what a time Im having on this bike. I have absolutely no regrets on my choice. There is no perfect one motorcycle to check all the boxes however this one is as close as it gets. It does everything well.

Good review. I like this guy.

Thanks for the video. I am shopping for an ADV bike and the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is high in my list. I also am interested in the Ducati Dessert X but it seems the Triumph has more features at a better price. It’s hard picking the right bike. But like you I ride the highway more and would like to go off road if I need to. Great video!

A very informative video explaining what goes into a motorcycle purchase decision. I think you made the right decision; I don't think the Suzuki would have suited you as well. I purchased the v85tt, and love it.

Beak or no beak that was the question?!? lol Good choice! Great bike!

hello from Savoie, I have a basic 900 tiger 900 gt in a2 version. It is already very well equipped, the only option I added is the shifter. I don't like crash bars and triumph suitcases, I fitted them with sw motech, I think it gives it a more adventurous look😂. 18,000 kms in 1 year and 8 months, pure pleasure. At first I thought of reselling it when I pass the full permit gateway, but I will unleash it when the time comes because I like it too much. I thought I had splurged on the purchase, as a beginner, but I don't regret it at all. You have clearly explained the process of reflection before your decision to buy. the tiger 850 is also good for those who want to save money. best wishes

Great review! I'm also 5.7 and also searching for the ideal bike, one question please: don't you feel vibrations above 120 km/h? And are you still happy with this Tiger 900 GT Pro, 10 month after you uploaded the review? Cheers!

Great info stay safe out there 👍

Excellent video! First I am surprised and impressed that looks matter to you as a motorcycle rider and you admitted it. I talk to a lot of guys who ride bikes and they seem to mostly care about speed or just riding. I wish I could be that free it would make a lot of things easy. I was surprised that you went for a bike with the beak but I am glad that you explained that to us in the video. This is a bike that is on my "bike tree" so I am glad that you talked about it. I just watched your video of the BMW R 1250 RS and that bike is on my tree as well. Between the two bikes the Triumph GT Pro and the BMW R 1250 RS which did you like on the highway and which looked better to you? Also, given your height and weight which one was more comfortable and easy to maneuver around? Thanks excellent piece! BTW have you test rode the Moto guzzi V 100 Mandello and thought about how it stacks up to the BMW RS 1250 and which would you chose? Thanks

Great video, thank you. I've been looking at this bike and was pretty sold on it. But then I started checking out Husqvarna's Norden 901. Did you get a chance to look at one of those? Thoughts?

Great video. I'm just about to pick up a 900 GT having gone through pretty much the same analysis you did (except for the HD). My alternatives were; F750GS, MG V85, Ducati Multistrada V2. I think narrowing the choice / making a final decision can involve a lot of subjective considerations. Here's why I discounted the alternatives. F750 - discontinued line and didn't find the looks appealing. Ducati - cost. MG V85 - I wanted to really like this one but I was nervous about dealership sparsity and 'quirkiness'. So I opted for the Tiger.

muy bien, I'm going for a test ride next Monday

Have you dropped it since? And do you have crash bars?

Tengo Suzuki V-strom 650 2021 y muy contento. Triumph de verdad mi sueño. Si no V-strom (mi primer moto)compraría Triumph Tiger

Julie from the States. I learned to ride on a Versys x300 these last two years. I'm looking also at the Tiger 850 & 900. Since I don't travel far, I do not know if I can justify paying the extra money for the 900 GT pro, rather than the 850. How important are the features and the 900 adjustable suspension to you?

interesting to sho the same pannier size boxes when the right side hangs out more. Not an issue to keep balance by having a larger box on the left ? 2. i will put a v47 givi topo box on; vs a square trek top box so have to check overhang on each side to be able to open the sides ??

Nice video...I'm thinking of trading in my 2018 Harley Streetglide Special for one of these.The. main reason being that I'm 73yrs old and the Harley is getting too heavy although I can still pick it up.I do a 5k/6k rid every year with three or four friends so I need a bike that can carry some luggage also.I live in California so there's a lot of trails to ride.Good English by the way.I did subscribe.

Just found your channel and have enjoyed. Your channel was put up by RU-vid as I’ve been researching this model from triumph. For 2 years I have had my Suzuki 1050XT and am happy but occasionally find it too heavy especially when slow turning. It’s a shame you hadn’t ridden the V Strom as I would like to know what your thoughts might have been. I have a demo ride tomorrow 10th August on a GT pro but they are expensive at nearly £14k. My V Strom which is like new and only 5000 miles is being priced at £7k…..that prices the triumph out of the equation and I’ll keep it rather than give it away. Going to test just too see if it’s any better. Take care.

With 5k + miles, have you had any quality or mechanical issues? I am looking at getting one as well, as a 2nd bike. Like you I have a V twin cruiser, but I want a comfortable touring option.

Hello - Thank you for extremely informative video. I have a question for you - Do you get hot air from the radiator fans on your knees while driving? If yes, how bad it is? Thanks !!

I have about the same... A Tiger 900 Rally Pro...and a Kawasaki Vulcan cruiser....... for the same reasons as you. PS..Madrid is one of my fav cities in the world and Spain is my FAV country in the world!

Hi there!Have you issues with the heat in the legs?from the engine.i live in hot climate

Very nice video

I'm 5.6 185 lbs muscle. Will this bike work for me. I ride a HD Roadglide.

I purchased one a week ago and experienced significant heat on my knees from the radiator vent. I was 10 miles away from the dealership on the freeway when it started. I turned my knees out to the side in an unnatural riding position and the heat was gone. I confirmed after viewing RU-vid reviews from owners that it wasn't just me. I returned the bike....at significant loss of course. Exquisite bike otherwise but ultimately unrideable in my view.

Bought the Multi V2S after three GSs, nearly bought the Tiger, very similar buying decisions as a road rider with short legs, maybe the Tiger next time.

Good sir. Joslin Snow is 5' even. And she rides and can lift a gs1250. Its fear that stops you. Not ability.

you didn't compare the HD sportster S that is mid 700k thb or 21k usd.

U should ride multistrada then will u know what that means . Comfort precision quality

Qq

Great bike but has the ugliest rev counter in motorcycle history.

I just wish that bike gave me the impression of a tiger ….instead of an angry duck.
