I've been going through quite a number of review videos on both the Rally Pro and GT Pro. Both your videos were amongst the last I watched before finally deciding to put my money on the GT Pro. Your point on the 19" front wheel being adequate for light off-road is right, you just need to have a set of 80/20 or similar installed. Very often many folks will pick something with a 21" front thinking they'll be spending a whole lot of time on trails, and quite often they spend the majority of their rides on tarmac instead. Great work!
Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad to hear this helped make your mind up. I definitely would have preferred a 19" front with my bike. I have taken the Africa Twin off road and it was amazing but it spends most of its life on road. You definitely wont be disappointed with the GT PRO
Had my 900GT for 2 years and I still love it. Did a 2,500 mile tour around Europe this year and it was perfect. Great on the motorways and superb in the twisties. Averaged 62mpg so around 230 miles from a tankful. Personally I didn't loike the Metzeler stock tyres, I found they tracked on any road irregularities. I changed them after 5,000 miles for Michelin Road 5's and what a difference in handling characteristics, in my opinion, it made a good handling bike into an excellent handling bike, especially in the wet. Great review by the way
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the bike. I really like it. I agree with you about the tyres, my Africa Twin has them and I absolutely hate them.
Took mine to Turkey from Isle of Man in May and it was great other than bar vibes and running out of oil twice (despite checks). Traded in on return but I do miss it.
Hi, thank you for your video, I managed to get two demonstration Tiger GT's out for a ride. I much prefer the 900, this seems to be easier to get round corners. Like you, I loved this suspension. Our rural roads are awful. So I purchased my first Triumph Tiger GT900, I love this machine. Thank you.
Nice review. Would love to see you do more triumph bikes. I've been to solent triumph and they're a brilliant bunch of people there. Also their bike range is stunning. I want to see you ride the Rocket
I own a red one, got to be the best colour, I'm with you on this, lovely bike. First bike for a while that when I'm out and get back from a ride I have a smile on my face and don't want for another bike.
At Last. A proper review for riding in the Real World !!! You’re bang on for the right gear at the right speed !!! Well done and please keep them coming. You’re a Breath of Fresh Air 😊
That's the exact bike I took out from destination triumph Fareham...I've bought it in the same colour and hopefully be receiving it in next couple of weeks with lots of extras fitted..totally agree I had a permanent smile on my face when I took it out...awesome bit of kit for sure...Great review 👍
Great bike. Mine has wider dark screen, rear hugger, front fender extender, but most of all a beautiful looking and sounding exhuast. Not race sound but nice burble. Only thing I had changed at purchase was the Tourance tyres as they suffer with handling problems after about 2k.
I think I probably would. The tiger put a smile on my face whereas the GS didn't. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the GS is a bad bike. It's very very good, just didn't excite me like the Tiger did
I've not ridden the 1200 yet, frustratingly I injured myself before I could ride it. However, the 900 is a cracking bike as you can tell by how much i loved it in this test ride. I wouldn't say you've made a mistake. The 900 is lighter and smaller therefore more nimble and easier to move about. I personally don't think I've made a mistake 🙂
Yes. There's no competition. I was recently offered to chop my Africa Twin in for the NT1100.....didn't want to do it. The tiger is a far better bike than the NT.
@@RevZolution I’ll need to take one out for a test ride then. I had the NT1100 for a few hours when my VFR was getting work done and loved it so if these are that good I can’t wait to try one! Thanks.
