I have just bought a 2021 model and my start up is instant and had no issues of any kind like bar vibrations or hot engines and a few other supposed issues. I know a few others who own a 2020 version like this who have had no issues. Every bike has ups and downs any brand but biking as you know is full of brand loyalty and no matter how much of a dog some bikes are people will vindicate their purchase and run down other brands no matter how good other bikes are. I will buy a Fuel Can and put some tried and trusted Michelins on when the time comes but this bike is the first time I feel I don't have to change my suspension as it works fine. That's a first in 35 years for me.
Great review - I've been enjoying my own GTPro here in Aus' for the last 9 months or so and agree with pretty much everything you mentioned. However, I did bristle slightly at your (well-meaning) accolade of "it's a great commuter"! I've taken mine on rides ranging from 1 day to 1 week long and it just laps it up.
Fantastic review. Lok forward to more.
My comment is aimed more at what most people use these sorts of bikes for in the uk rather than the bike. If I had a long commute like many do in to London I know I would want it to be like this.
@@spicy110 Unfortunately the GTPro is still not immune to London buses.
great review from across the pond
Good little review thanks. Did you mention that the GT Pro has a centre stand? The regular GT doesn’t. A centre stand is a big plus for chain maintenance. As you say, if only one bike then this is a good all rounder. I’m down sizing from 1200 machines for this practical and safe machine. I remember an XRT Tiger i had that it was safe and practical. Great pillion for a passenger too. The luggage will be great too. Yes good review thanks. Cheers.
Been watching your videos since 2018. You just gave me an idea for the second bike
Great review think I'll be buying one in the spring.
The TIGER 900 has loads of character. GREAT ALL ROUNDER. Swiss Army Knife level versatility MID-Size. Plenty capable of OFF-PAVEMENT (dirt, gravel, fire road - with 80/20 tires), but the Rally is the Off-ROADER. TFT and Bluetooth needs some improvement. Really good handling and balance (if you do extended off pavement - decrease rear preload and increase front preload - slightly extends rake). My GTPRO is a great commuter, camper and long haul Grand Tourer. Cruise control, quick shifter, suspension and rider mode/mapping with a flick of the thumb...great brakes...50mpg/225-240 range...top marks for liveability.
14.11 min. My dream bike. Call me old school.( well, I’m old after all )
Great review. Great bike.Thanks.
Just got mine last Friday. I'm only 5,6 and it's super easy to ride. I'm a Harley dude, but I also love these bikes.
Sounds like you have a fun summer ahead! 👍
I am in the market to get one bike like the triumph 900 gt or similar... I don't usually comment on triumph motorcycles but THIS is a GREAT overview... I'd say its the best one I have seen if not amongst the best ones...
Job well done mate!!!
Thanks this is how I do all my reviews. 🙂
@@spicy110 then I think you deserve a subscriber...You've earned my subscription matey!!😀
@@MRGS48 Likewise
Spicy you have litetally inspired me to start riding bikes, I've got my CBT booked in! With Covid who knows when it'll be, but thank you for you for all your advice i can't wait to get out there 🤘
Best of luck dude!!
Great review. Ordered a red one in Paris for delivery next week. Much looking forward to it. Hope filtering is as easy in dense traffic as with my lighter soon-to-be ex-ducati scrambler.
How are you enjoying the bike so far?
@@timpowers9142 hi Tim, I have to admit that I no longer have it. I loved the bike but it wasn't really suited to my current riding needs. I do almost all my riding in the Paris region, so I traded it in for an Aprilia Tuono 660, which I am loving! The Triumph is fantastic in the sports aventure category. As of August, the whole of Paris is becoming an 18MPH area, so depressing!
@@tonydare7614 Oof, sorry to hear that! However, as a fellow Tuono owner I'm sure the 660 more than makes up for that.
@@timpowers9142 Yes, much more manageable and fun in urban environments. But I do miss the GS on motorways. Ideally, we'd all have at least 3 bikes 😂
Am not sure if it was you or another channel who said, "a bikes character comes from it's flaws" and I kind of fully agree with that thought, it isn't a negative, it is a positive, it is what gets us loving one bike over another! :-)
That was me 🙂👍
@@spicy110 I thought it probably was! :-)
Nice review! It's funny, I rode a Tiger 800 the other day (coming from a DR650) and my first reaction was that it had no personality. So I appreciate and agree with your thought process talking on that. Thanks for the review. I'll definitely be checking out your other content.
It seems that the Tiger 900 is another compromise Adventure bike in the same way that the Honda NC750X is - i.e. is more tailored for road use rather than off-road. It looks/sounds like a good upgrade step from the NC rather than going the whole hog and going for the Africa Twin 1100. I don't mind if you completely disagree with that - would be interested in your opinion though... Did you get a sense for the curve ABS, or was that a limit that you didn't push to?
If there was one big thing you would change with the bike what would that be? Maybe something like that will happen with the 850? Maybe there's an after-market opportunity for the pillion foot rests...
I really enjoyed the review and the other videos you made on the bike.
Good review 👍 I love this bike ,it’s the perfect allrounder for me ( to cold for me to ride right now ) the only bad point is that the front tyre tramlines sometimes . 👍
I heard today that the front tyre tramlines , unsettling on a new bike???
@@pontypete7357 I have got used to this the more Miles I’ve put on the bike the bike!
In insight I would have bought a second hand G S 👍
I've just bought one... Pick it up in 9 days.
I have a Zontes ZT125U which is fully keyless including the fuel cap and seat lock and I love it. You do have to press a button to unlock and lock it so its not like you walk away not knowing if it's locked or not and it only has a range of 1.5 meters.
I'm a little on the short side and am on tippy toes with lowered suspension 1200GS. Actively considering the Tiger 900 as lighter and lower for easier handling when pulling up, manoeuvring etc. These would be obvious benefits - but any views on what I'd be losing?
Insane torque of the BMW 🥳
Great review mate…how’s the heat during stop and go traffic or when the ambient temperature is high?🙌🙌
Nice review, I ordered the 900 gt Lrh last week, hopefully here within July 😁
you get it yet?? if so how is it?
@@kee7678 yes got it, still running in but enjoying so far
Beautiful review man this help me decide
interesting thing....i loved the look and the cp3 of the yamaha tracer, i was dreaming about getting a triumph tiger 900 gt, but in the end , this morning i ordered a BMW fx900r with all the accessories on the low suspension version. i guess , the BMW has a very sporty feeling when you need it, and a motorcycle than i can actually can flat foot which i think is the most important thing on a bike like this.
GREAT review!!!
I demoed one today. At about 130 km/h, there was handle bar vibration.
My hands could go numb on a long tour, I think.
(Owned a lot of bike, can compare)
Thoroughly thorough review as always 👍
I know exactly what you mean about the bike being a little non-engaging. I took one out for a couple of hours the other day and after 20mins found myself looking at the scenery.
Excellent video. Very informative. Traded my bobber in for a gt pro.
Thanks for a great honest review.
Great take on the bike! Thanks 👍
Great review. Would love to know what you think about this compared against the ducati Multistrada 950.
Finally an honest review!! I was so bored of fanboys just telling us things written on spec sheet.
Have one question. I sold my tiger800xrx because of top heaviness and terrible full lock turn. Is the new bike any better on that areas.
Thx in advance
😥 n
Hi you should pick a point on a straight road and time 0 to 60 and roll ons in 4th etc then when you get the 850 with 10 hp less than gt you could see the difference would be very interesting.
Great review mate. Cheers
I would go with the “base” GT to make it a bit analog. I agree that sometimes too many electronic aids and assistance make things less engaging
but you'll want the quick shifter add on....and the center stand.
What is the purpose of the nose/beak? Why is it needed in addition to the front fender? Is it something to do with air flow?
How is the wind flow at high speeds?
I really just want a windscreen like this on my Street Triple; wish Triumph would make one like this for it. I just do day rides on paved roads without a pillion, but have to do some freeway miles to get to the roads I like and the wind blast gets old fast. There are aftermarket solutions, but I'd prefer something from Triumph.
I'm only 5'10" and 140 lbs so I like the lower weight and smaller size of the Street Triple. Plus I love the extremely refined engine, fueling, braking, handling, finish. Triumph knows how to design and build a premium bike that looks and works really well.
I know this is late, but I have the 2021 Street Triple R. I am 5'6" I know short lol The oem optional fly screen actually does quite a bit for the bike. On the highway, it does feel like you're blown around. With flyscreen the bike feels stable, and the wind now hits me in the upper shoulders instead of the center chest. I tried the Puig screen, and it ruined the looks of the bike and caused a lot of turbulent wind noise.
I don't know why but I find 5:30 - 5:34 to be the funniest thing ever.
Great review, thanks! Could you perhaps comment on what the wind protection from the adjustable screen was like for you as a taller bloke (like me)? Thanks
Great review.. I've been looking for a one bike does it all... having to chop in my z650 and my h2sx... The only thing I have to decide is which tiger... The 850 Sport, 900 gt Pro or the 900 rally pro... Gonna have to test ride them all.. 😜
Fucking big Lego bricks
I want to like Triumph but do to lack of customer service and sketchy warranty treatment to customers I can’t
Nice review! I am leaning to get one of these beauties for the road - GT pr or GT. Would be comfy for 6.2 height?
Could have done with that TC on my Tiger, V cold day, just got out my garage, at a cross junction, one of those stupid ones where there are no filter lights, and you have to both approach in the middle while other traffic goes by to turn left or right... As I was about to turn right the car I previously thought was going quite slow, was going pretty fast, gunned it a little bit, and the back wheel lost traction and well the bike slide under me, and I dropped it :(, broke the headlight fairing which costs STUPID money to get new. lol
Getting a 900 low tomorow’
Hope I gel with it ‘ £11365
😅. Pete’
Having passed my test at the beginning of December and being 6ft 3 and probably the same around the middle🤣I looked at the 900 and 1200 as I needed a large bike to be comfortable. They were both great bikes as much as I could get from sitting on them in a show room but still felt a bit small. I ended up going with a Africa Twin as I felt it had more of a commanding seating position and potentially a bit more presence on the road. The weight when pushing around the garage is a pig but a big light bike is a pipe dream.
Great content as always 👌
Does the GoPro connection give you a battery level readout? That could be useful.
Thanks for the review (I’ve got the Triumph 900 GT Low on order). What is the wind protection like, esp. at highway speeds?
One of the best for wind protection 👍I’ve got one
Could do with a slightly taller screen at motorway speeds i think personally but generally pretty good.
I had a tiger xrx low. Great bike BUT I like to ride the canyons and the bike is too low for me. I am 5’3” and now ride the 900 GT PRO standard height with the seat in the lowest setting. I love this bike. The windshield works great for me and I’m a guy that has modified most bikes that I’ve owned. You will love the bike.
Hi, thank for the video, really great, what was the turbulence like on the crash helmet, I have gs 1200 adv and I am 6,3 and the turbulent is horrible, just thinking the 900 pro could be the answer
Hi!
Great video! =) Am thinking of changing my Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE to this because I dont think the XE will suit me well when am going on my 5000 mile trip this summer.. Have you ride it and which one do you think is the best for the trip? Thanks!
Do u think, the triple whines through motor
How many miles to the tank?
Glad you gave your opinion on the vibration its important to me
Only one bike 😳 NOOOOO 😱 !!! Says the man with a motorcycle addiction 🤪. But it would make a good “all rounder” 👍.
If you do a lot of touring 85% and 15% off road would you go with the 1200 gt ??? I have a road king and it s start to be à little heavy
I took a Africa Twin standard out aswell as the Tiger 900 GT in the same day, i was very impressed by the AT but the Tiger i found quite dull, it had a very snatchy throttle and seemed very bumpy going over roads that i wouldnt even consider rough, i also had the comfort seat fitted which was alot more uncomfortable than the AT standard seat and the Tigers was an optional extra, the ride wasnt bad, it is a good bike but i found it quite bland? or as some people have said not very engaging.....the dash is great though aswell as the brakes
African twin!!! not everybody is 6ft plus to ride it?
@@pontypete7357 Im actually 5,9 i just put the seat in the lower position, since my original post I've bought a standard Africa twin 1100 and my dad bought the Tiger 900, both of us switch bikes on rides out constantly, grown to like the tiger alot more than i originally did but still prefer the Africa twin
What do you think of this compared to the Suzuki DL1050XT you had from Haslemere Suzuki?
Great review. What helmet are you using?
Icon variant Pro
P# helpful review. , I'm a beginner motorcyclist end am small 166cm, currently I ride a naked bike Honda but he is not comfortable in highway,, so which bike of this equation is right for me? I drive daily to work in the city and also the highway( Commuting) and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, which one? crossover or adventure motorcycle so what is your opinion? Tiger 800/850/900 .... or BMW 750/850?
The 850 And 900 have exactly the same engine. The 850 had a remap and therefore less HP.
Why don't you film the non-riding parts of the video with a regular camera? Quality is still rough even maxed out.
Good review, just wondering why you ride the clutch so much. ??
I am not riding it my hand is resting there. Partly due to a hand injury from a crash it's more comfortable for me.
Can I ask what height you are to get a comparison with myself? And did you feel the bike fit okay?
I'm 6'4 and yes.
Great review! I have a 2018 Vstrom DL650 and have considered trading in for the Tiger 900 GT PRO. Just tested the GT Pro but it was a 7 mi road/hwy test drive, really hard to assess and compare against my vstrom...and remain undecided. In no way does the Vstrom compete with what you get with the GT PRO Heated grips, cruise, etc, etc), but I notice a different feel in the handlebars, a slight vibe and/or "vibration - if you will. I really like how flickable, light and powerful in the higher gears. Take-off seemed a bit slower than the Vstrom. All in all, this is a tough decision and just curious what your thoughts are now- given that this review was in 2021... Any feedback from other Vstrom owners who may have considered same and/or actually did go with the Tiger...? Thank you! R/Roni
I totally get the issue, they are both great bikes doing the same thing in different ways. Best of luck making your pick.
I love my 2023 900gt
I bought a factory defective Tiger 900 GT th-cam.com/video/cc6mfpdkin0/w-d-xo.html which stalls when squeezing the clutch. They left me a replacement Rally Pro and it stops anyway th-cam.com/video/7QN78vKcTsw/w-d-xo.html it seems that it is a problem of the model since from the comments in the videos it is happening to more people. I've been like this for more than 8 months...
Stalling issue has been solved now??
Nice bike but come on Triumph let’s have a bit of pizzaz with the paint job please
It seems like most roads there are paved - did you ever (or is there) any gravel there?
Didn’t wait for the last 200 metres
Like it but just to be picky to have all the gismos why is the screen adjustment should be on the button not manual especially at the price they are at good review cheers . : )
Did you find noticabe vibrations on speeds over 120 km per hour? There some complaints about vibrations found in reviews/comments.
I did talk about that in one of the videos I did on the bike as someone else asked me and I did not notice any issues. The same was said about the s1000XR years ago again I did not find any issues. I don't know if its a bike to bike thing or people are over sensitive or what.
@@spicy110 thank you!
I get what your saying ie you want a bike that you control without the fancy gadgets but this bike stopping you from spinning then that's great, maybe bikes will become more intelligent than the rider.
At 6'4" did you have any wind buffeting on your helmet. I'm 6'1" but T120 with wind screen made it unbearable so just do without, which s fine. But curious about the tiger for longer trips. Thanks in advance.
With the screen up it was directing it in my face once (a common issue I find with all screens on bikes) on the lower setting I clearly was not getting the same protection but the buffeting affect on my head stops. If your 6ft or under I am sure the higher setting would work much better. Could even drop the seat to help maybe.
I am exactly 6,4, and the screen that comes default on bikes is usually for shorter folks. The screen that comes with my Tiger stock is very short (I think because its the sports tourer version) and I found that the wind would be going right into my chest and making me get worn out on long journeys in my arms. I bought a VERY tall screen which now puts it over my head, but looks kinda funny. But I have also riden bikes where the screen puts it into my face and then my neck aches. I dont remember where but there is a way to measure how tall the screen should be and I did that to buy one the correct size. Also one thing to mention is in the summer, having the wind go over your head, you get very hot, because of the heat coming up from the bike.
Wait when did you get this I am hoping to get this soon ish
I had it about a week before the upload date. Sadly only for the review.
Did you find the auto-shifter worked at slow speeds, say, below 50mph?
It does, very well.
What is the Fuel capacity
20L
What do you think about the Seat? To narrow for longer rides?
It's wider than the 1200, feels great to me but I am used to a DRZ seat (aka plank of wood) so I am not the best to judge imho.
CHIAPAS!!!!!!
How many miles do you get out or one tank
I can usually get 400km per tank on mine. That is usually past the range indicated, so I fill at about 360km.
900cc bike for commuting at £12000 don't think so
1.46 "commuter" lol, wise up!
I would of bought this bike in a heart beat, but the color choices are so bland and boring; it might as well of been painted beige.
yes agree the colours are very dull
I'd love to see a beige one.
