Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro | Review by former 800XC owner 

Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Wishing you many years of safe and enjoyable motoring. Cheers!

Thank you and am happy you like it. Cheers!

Thanks. The all new 900 is here and it's retained the triple character with added oomph thanks to the new firing order and crank. Take a test ride to know more.

Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Greeting to you too. Great to hear. Cheers!

Thank you, am glad you liked the review. Yes, missed the exhaust note recording, my bad. Next time. Cheers!

Thank you. There are no vibrations that bothered me even the least bit. A slight buzz which indicates that the engine is running and that feedback necessary. Best wishes.

Thanks a lot. Cheers!

It's my pleasure. Cheers!

Thanks! Cheers!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Cheers!

Thank you. Cheers!

Hi! You may not be able to flat foot both feet. However, the bike feels balanced even at slow speeds that it gives confidence to keep our feet up on the pegs. Besides that is the better technique. There may be a low seat option which you can check with the dealership. Irrespective, sit on one, take a test ride and then take a call. That’s the best way. Best wishes. Cheers!

@@bigbearbangalore thanks for the response!

What is the ideal height for the model I am 5.7 can I

I am 5’9” and am very comfortable so you can too. When possible I suggest that you invest in a rider training class at any reputed place. Will be worth every rupee. Cheers!

Thanks.

Yes! I had the Arrow on my xc800 and the triple whine was thrilling especially above 6000 rpm. And the dogs near my house perhaps have different taste cos they did not like Harleys and did not mind the Tiger!

Yes, heat from cooling system is part of motorcycles of this size. Get used to it and enjoy the ride.

Thanks!

Yes, I missed mixing it in the video too! My bad. Next time. Cheers!

Many thanks.

Hi! Sure can do and will see if I can weave it into a the next video. Sorry to hear your gear struggles. Investing in good riding gear and in rider training is worth every rupee paid. Cheers!

😀 I've evolved from Harleys to the Tiger 800 to the V-Strom 650, so hest is something am used to and have accepted. I can live with it to a large extent.

@@bigbearbangalore Thanks for your prompt response. Looking at the following options for an upgrade from my KTM Duke 390 (in a souped up off-road Supermoto Build). 4 years and 80K Touring kms: way too many niggles and reliability issues! 1. Transalp XL 750 (Rally Avatar): Light, Peppy, Nimble. Cool Engine. Reliable and Cheap Maintainance. Although Suspension Upgrades, Seats and Bash plate etc will take the cost up to around 16L! 2. Used Tiger 900 RP (2021): All Round Winner + Bid Dirt Bike + Value Accessories! Cons: Heating in Mumbai Traffic So, will have to keep the Duke for daily rides. Higher Maintainance Costs! 3. Used CRF1000L AT (2019): Loaded with Performance Upgrades and Accessories = Dakar Build! Cooler Engine the 🐯; Cons: Top Heavy! Please Advice! P.S. Riding Style: Hooligan | 6 ft (Prefer to Sit On Top of, Not in the Bike!

Hi! The Tiger 900 feels lighter and easier to ride. The Africa Twin is a full size adv and needs more skill and strength to ride in comparison. I would put the Africa Twin and the GS1250 in the same segment and put the 900 in a lighter and smaller segment. Insights that you ride both for about 50 kms to better know how they feel. Cheers!

Thanks boss

Cheers!

Hi! My Tiger 800XC annual service used to cost about Rs.12,000 and on one occasion about Rs. 24,000 because I had to change chain & sprockets. Tyres I changed once and those were about 18,000/- I would day that for the 40,000 kms I used my Tiger I roughly spent about Rs.80,000/- which makes it about Rs.2/- per km.

If it’s Honda Africa twin means the maintenance cost is 50% cheaper may I correct Rs 1 per kms

I am not aware of exact cost for the AT. However it’s likely to be more or less around the same. We need to remember that until the tyre changes or chain & sprocket change the maintenance costs would appear to be far less so until a vehicle runs for about say 40,000 kms, it’s hard to be accurate on the costs.

Hahaha! These are real enough for my skills! Cheers!
