I own the 900 GT Pro 2023. I've done 10k miles in 10 months. I agree with everything he said. I love this bike. Get quad lock wireless charging with Evo mount for your phone and keep a dim adaptor with usb outs if you need additional USB ports. The 900 had a bit more grunt due to mapping than the 850. The 900 only gets vibey around 85mph but you can just enable the cruise if that's an issue for you. Get shot of the metzler tires and put Michelin road 6 on. It's a really nice usable amount of power. Only gripe for me is mirrors poke out a bit fat when filtering and if you knock a mirror out can come loose and you have to get the spanners out. No regrets whatsoever.
Had this bike for almost 3 years now. Disagree with the temptation to rev the engine. It already makes 90% of its max torque at 3000rpm, and from 7500rpm to the 10000rpm redline it has nothing more to give (that's how Triumph differentiates it from the 900GT which ekes out another measly 10bhp in this top-end range). There's no joy to be had in wringing the tits off the engine, plus the t-plane crank gets vibey in protest. Looking to switch out the front sprocket to a 17T one coz I think the gobs of torque down low should handle it easily, but I'll hv to wait a while coz the stock chain and sprockets look set to last 50000km since I also run a chain oiler. The front Brembo monoblocks are phenomenal and are dead easy to service yourself. The rear needs a punch tool to knock out the retaining pin. The only grief I had was that the front would give the shakes at low speeds, regardless of tyre pressure. Not a problem if I had both hands on the bars, but hands off then the bars would start to shake when coasting. Got rid of the Michelins at the 24000km mark, the was problem solved automatically. No idea what the issue was. Then my key decided to sprout legs and walk away, and it took 6 bloody months to get a replacement from Triumph.
Thanks fo sharing. Yes, front is not very well planted sometimes. But overall not a problem. Vibes can be avoided if you are cruising on lower RPMs, agreed. But in some places, not possible. Say the area where I am riding represents serpentines and mountain passes. You always need to rev the engine to ride actively. And that's where vibrations are noticeable.
