Triumph Tiger 900 GT | As Intimidating As It Looks? 

I just got a 2021 900 GT Pro and love everything about it. Brilliant bike. What a motor!

Im 60 and I just love adventure bikes. This is my favorite adventure bike so far

One day you wake up and find out - to your surprise - that you have reached an age where you start to realize that older people have not been wrong about everything... adventure bikes might just be the beginning. ☺️

Hi, I totally agree with your review. I got my GT Pro in Paris two weeks ago. I'd never ridden or been interested in adventure bikes and was concerned that it would be intimidating, especially for filtering in dense traffic. But I've found it to be quite the opposite. The bike's perfect stability in all situations is incredible and makes filtrering a doddle, and far better than the Ducati Scrambler I exchanged it for. It isn't nearly as wide as it seems either and the mirrors are in a good place for getting through tight gaps. It also is a fun and comfortable bike to ride in all situations and weather conditions. The suspension is amazing, the acceleration is easily sufficient (for me) and cornering is confidence-inspiring even with new tires. Rain mode works really well too as I have had ample chance to explore! Overall, easily the best bike I've ever ridden. The only minor downside for me is parking the bike in tight spaces and moving it around at a standstill as I'm used to lighter bikes. But I guess it's just practice. Lovely to see my hometown in the sun too.

I've got an 800, I wasn't sold on the sound myself, but it's certainly comfortable and the low end torque 👌🏼Also has more kit on board than you can shake a stick at. Tasty!

Always enjoy the way you present your comments. That bike would do nicely in my scheme.

I'm 5' 10" and 190 lbs. 30" inseam and 32" arms. I just traded my 2017 Explorer XRT for a 900 GT LRH. I'm in motorcycle heaven! The XRT was a great bike but totally intimidating at low speed or trying to move it. It was just too big for me. The 900 GT is just what the doctor ordered. I love it.

Took my Tiger 1050 from the North East of Scotland to the Pyrenees and had a blast going over them, I doubt my Daytona 955i would have been any more entertaining.

Better first ride review than most major outlets.

I never liked the styling of the old Tiger but this new model looks much better, I guess that with that super smooth triple engine the ride is going to be super enjoyable and that's from a dad's point of view 😁.

2:08 this is why you shoulder check when filtering...

i rode it - its a great bike, but i'm 6ft tall, and found it to feel a bit small vs. my Multistrada 950s. Rumor has it, that the new Tiger 1200 coming next year will be a game changer..

Awesome review. Nice editing. Enjoyed it.

Brilliant review. But to really enjoy the Tiger in its natural habitat I would urge you to Visit Bangalore (India) during the rainy season. You wont even see them coming.. erm the potholes I mean. That will be a true test of its suspension.

You point out all the reasons I love adventure bikes (dad bikes lol) and the Tiger in particular. I may be upgrading my 800 XRT to the 900 GT Pro because the improvements are significant and worthwhile.

One day you will be my age 60 but still ridding 40 years on the road. Was about to order one just as lock down came .if you think the tiger is heavy. Kawasaki Versys 1000 is 250kg.wet.load that luggage passenger. That's heavy.

I appreciate that you were restricted by your location for your first impressions review but I hope that nobody places too much value to it. The Tiger 900 GT does have short comings as a more lengthy road test will reveal. Whilst I enjoyed it’s suspension, gearbox and handling, I found seat comfort, vibrations and skinny hand grips not to my liking after quite some time and miles. The screen adjustment mechanism on the bike I rode was crude and difficult to adjust even when stationary. After reading so many rave reviews I was very disappointed as I was sure this was going to be my next purchase. My 2016 Africa Twin was more comfy and had a smoother engine and my 2018 T120 still takes some beating as day to day bike.

Nicely done on the Dad bike video. Lol. Never heard that term before in California. ADV bikes, ahem Dad bikes are comfortable long distance go anywhere touring machines.

If a bike-type like this is an alternative for you, I expected, you would prefer the Moto Guzzi V85TT, which in my mind has more character and a better engine shake feeling, compared to the Tiger 900.

We didn’t like the 900 GT Pro. My partner definitely didn’t like being a pillion on it. I used to have an 800 XRT so i was used to Tigers. Granted that they are very safe and practical. If touring on rough roads the GT Pro is fine. Regarding the engine, if it’s trying to be like both a triple and a twin then it doesn’t work for me. If i wanted just one bike for practical purposes, commuting etc, then yes this might be one, but I’d never love it like a Bonnie... I don’t think they look great either... For real fun and beauty get a Speed Twin; for practical stuff get a Tiger...

Waiting with bated breath for Thursday 5th May when I pick up my Tiger 900 Pro. Opted for Triumph aluminium cases and top box and Arrow can (you were correct) as the standard exhaust note doesn’t do the bike justice.

I had a street triple tried a tiger and loved it now l own one!

Great review! Seems like a fantastic all around motorcycle!

Good review...thanks!

Yep l tried one , now l want one! Darn it!

Watched several of your reviews now, including the electric ones. Good stuff, funny and thoughtful. Thanks. Dad bike! Right, I have one of those.75-85mpg though, so more practical than electric.

I have a 98 model; also known as the "Steamers." Each generation of Tiger had become less adventure and more street bike. Obviously the trend continues with this one.

Talking about good surprises, you should try this one: V-Strom 650 Yeah, it will be surprising. I know well the Tiger´s range, I owned a 1050 and rode the 800´s. Cheers.

These are sweet touring bikes

2:48 Xmax scooter rider must like the idea of road rash !

After two Tigers, 1050 & 800 (for 9 years and counting) I'm not sure I'll change for 900. All seem to be getting heavier and taller and me being a short a*se conspire against me. You can't beat the riding position of these "dad's" bikes though, or the hustle.

I'm looking at either the Tiger 900 GT Pro or the Husqvarna Norden 901; I'll use it for touring, & often two up, with my wife on the back. I like the idea of the increased power of the Norden but I also like the electronic suspenders on the Triumph & the triple engine. Of the two bikes, which one would you go for?

I have the 2018 1200 xca I bought before I ever rode it let me tell you I was a little conservative the first curve I started n with it and it if it was telling me just hang on buddy I got this let me tell you I could not stop grinning what a machine I wouldnt trade it for any bike on the planet havnt ridden the 900 but I bet it's just or more capable

I appreciate what adventure bikes do but I really can't love how they look. If I was going to spend a shed load of cash on a bike I have to enjoy looking at it! If I was in the position to have 5 or 6 bikes then I might consider one as a work horse/tourer. Other than that.....

You like the new firing order on the Tiger triple engine ? I'm not too keen . It makes it a bit "twin" like. I like twins, but if you have a triple, well I want triple firing order. ( Hope they don't do that on the new Speed Triple )

I test rode one of these. How do you find the steering ? It's not just this one, other adventure bikes, and high up ones I've been on, I always find them a bit vague and twitchy as compared to say Speed Triples, Street Triples, KTM 790 Duke, Speed Twin, even the slightly soft Honda CB1000R. I like the lower centre of gravity on naked roadsters and I can't handle the sports bike position for more than 20 mins, I'm too old ! About all I can say about upright adventure bikes is your knee isn't as bent, so on long straight roads, I guess they're more comfortable. I am a Dad to 2 young adults now, I'm not ready for a Dad bike yet, my knees can still bend (just). Give me a Speed Twin, Speed Triple, Street Triple or Honda CB1000R any day. (Haven't tried the MT10 , GSXS1000 , Tuono , Streetfighter V4 yet, they'd all probably make the list that I'd like to ride too )

Another awesome video!!

We are seeing too much about The Royal Enfield Interceptor. Triumph have a bike for everyone.

Bob, how do you ride like that? Wrong foot down and really dangling it after starting, just seems awkward

Awesome video style. Do the Rally Pro next.

Are you going to try the Rally Pro to compare them ???

Hows the engine heat on summer city rides?

Don't you agree "T-Plane" sounds about as good as R1 at high revs ? BTW 4:18 MI6 !?

Superb review.

Does the tiger gets heated up and blow hot air onto your body?

5.6 height rider can ride this bike

hello how tall are you>? thanks

Try out the KTM Adventure bike, then tell me it’s a dads bike!

this....or yamaha 9gt tracer 2021....same price.

To dravel in citys is a scooter cheaper.

Just talk? The motocycle sound ist best.

Dad bike 😂 I'm a grandad and I'm still not ready for a bike like this

Dad bike? 🤔 hmmm... cb1300...
