- Join me as I compare the Norden 901 Expedition and the Tiger 900 Rally Pro from a beginner's perspective. In this video, I dive into five key areas: seat height, engine power, suspension, looks, and my overall conclusion. Whether you're new to adventure motorcycling or just curious about these two bikes, this review will help you understand what makes each unique and which might be the right fit for you.
Great video. When doing the BDR's do you prefer the Norden or would you prefer your CRF450RL? Why?
Norden all day. For 90% of the COBDR its long fast dirt roads. I def would want to be on the bigger bike. And be willing to sacrafice the weight on the more technical sections.
Well done, I agree the Norden is the best
After much research I ended up with the Norden 901 Expedition. So far loving the Norden. Only issue I can complain about is some heat from the engine, but that’s probably from EU emissions changes. I love the way it looks. They are offering a 4 year warranty if you get your service at a dealership.
@@jmilton1069 I agree about the heat. I think it comes from the cat. How do you feel about the seat width?
@@zeromileadv It is wider than other bike I've ridden. That said, it is comfortable. I'm also 6'1" so not much of a bother.
Ninguna de las 2. Mejor y mas barata la CfMoto 450 MT 😊
Como es la fiabilidad y potencia con el 450? Tengo una Honda 450RL y no me gustaria usarla como moto de aventura
No way I’d buy an 890/901 over a Tiger 900 RP with current cam shaft issue ongoing. Not to mention KTMs general terrible reliability in its 690/701 and larger capacity Adv bike range? Not to mention the shifty way they have handled the cam shaft issue.
I’d also add the 23 Aragorn edition isn’t even a valid or current comparison as its just a custom paint/sticker job 2023 model vs a legit and very much improved 2024 Tiger RP.
After much research and deliberation I am going for the Tiger. With correctly dialed suspension It is so close to the off-road performance of the 901 it’s not even an issue worth considering given Triumph over KTM reliability and on-road the new Tiger is far superior. IMO from a quality and ethical viewpoint It’s also a bonus the Tiger isn’t made in China😉
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally get why you’re leaning toward the Tiger 900 Rally Pro-it's an excellent bike, and the 2024 updates sound impressive. I personally prefer the Husky for off-road, but I haven’t ridden the 2024 Tiger RP, so I can’t compare them firsthand.
As for the reliability concerns regarding products made in China, I’m not sure I agree with that perspective. The devices we all rely on to watch videos, like phones, tablets, and PCs, are largely made in China, along with many other high-quality consumer goods. Plus, bikes like the Kove and CFMoto are getting great reviews, and BMW has trusted China to produce their 850 GS for years.
Regarding the KTM camshaft issue, I can’t speak much to it because I haven’t experienced any problems with my 1290, nor have my friends with KTMs had any issues. But I understand it’s been a concern for some. Thanks again for the comment, and I’m sure your Tiger is going to be a blast to ride!
Did Triumph fix the issue with weak factory crash bars?
@@jmilton1069 Mine held up just fine when I dropped it a few times on the COBDR section 2
@@zeromileadv It's not function of being made in China. It's a poor materials and undersized oil galleys read up ZeroMile.
@@jmilton1069 I'm not sure . I assume they are no change but it's not an issue for me as if I were to get an 890 or 901 I wouldn't have put upper crash bars on them either.
Some would say that the bars bending after a certain level of force isn't an issue anyway as it means that energy isn't being transferred to the bike in the same manner 4WD bull bars are designed to slide/compress in several inches after a certain level of impact.
I know riders with multiple drops and zero damage (other than scuffs) to their bar work.
In any case, like the bash plate, upper bars can be sourced elsewhere or, like many riders, simply not put on to save weight. Many mid sized Adv riders do not run upper (or any) crash bars on their bikes. I think its a fad that is going out of fashion.
Better buy one before KTM goes out of business 😂
