Its a great allrounder. I got the 2024 model a few months ago and its just fantastic for a quick blast or a long tour. Heated seat is very nice in the winter
That's really interesting - did you check the tire pressure? Was it below the range that the TPMS was checking for? Tires don't usually need to be at 40 psi; often, they'll give you a little bit better grip at a lower psi, but you get better tire wear with the psi a little higher. I really wish I had looked into what the TPMS range was set to, and what the tires were actually at.
@@RogersMotorcycleAdventures I didn’t check the tire pressure. Once the tire warmed up it went out. Then I forgot to check it. It was the front tire. Nice bike but the windshield is to small. To much wind in my face.
I've owned a 2023 Tiger 900 GT Pro for about a year and a half--in the boring looking white, lol. Before I purchased my Tiger, I also demoed a BMW GS 750. I liked both bikes, and I figured I would be happy on either one. In the end, the triple cylinder engine won me over with the mid-range torque and exhaust sound. The Tiger cost more than the BMW, but considering everything the Tiger has as standard equipment--quick shifter, heated grips/seats, fog lights, center stand, tire pressure monitoring, electronically adjustable rear suspension, etc., it was a better value. The only thing I've added is a top case, a lower engine guard and 20mm handlebar risers. The only complaint I have is the stock seat sucks, and Triumph's Bluetooth connection app is a joke--don't even bother. They truly are fantastic motorcycles. There are so many great motorcycles to choose from these days. Good luck with your decision. Ride safe.
Haha no offense to your bike and/or your tastes! If you love how it looks, that's all that matters. You definitely made the right choice - I think you'll enjoy the Tiger for a lot longer than you would the 750 GS; I haven't ridden one, but from what I've read, they're a little underpowered. I'm sure they're great bikes, though!
Hi mate, thanks for the video. Do you think the tiger 900 motor sounds like a parallel twin when coasting along. I have a street triple and a kawasaki n400, the sound of the tiger is more like n400 vs the street triple.
Hi Jordan - thanks for watching! To be honest, I wasn't really paying that much attention to the engine sound when I was just cruising; I didn't have my earplugs in, and the wind noise was really distracting. So I mainly only noticed it when twisting the throttle, or downshifting...and there it definitely didn't sound like the parallel twin in my Versys 650!
Hello! I'm considering this one but MY 2024, are you sure this model you had for the demo is a 2025 model year?? My question is sincere because if that's correct I'd wait for that model to arrive even if it's exactly the same but because of depreciation
Hi Cesar, and thanks for watching - I'm actually not that worried about the depreciation, as I plan on owning my next bike for an absolute minimum of 5 years. Once past that, the depreciation between the '24 and '25 will be negligible. I think it's basically the exact same bike. I think the big difference was between the '23 and '24 models - the newer one having more power, reduced vibrations, etc.
@@RogersMotorcycleAdventures Is almost frightening having found someone who is in the same situation and same thinking than me haha! I'm considering the exact same, buying a brand new bike for 4-5 years. My question is directed to whether you are sure that this motorcycle is a 2025 model, in case I decide to buy the Triumph, wait another month for the 2025 to arrive and be billed as 2025 and not as 2024.¿?
I had a quick look on your channel and I see that you already tried the 1300GS. Even if the comparison sounds ridiculous, here in my country the 1300 is 5000 USD away from the tiger 900 which I could pay "IF" its worth it. As you said in your video the BMW 1300 that I could get has no heated seat and some other stuff that This tiger already has. I know that more expensive is not always better considering my priorities which are a light, powerful, comfortable bike for roads. But I'm between these 2 and I'd really appreciate your opinion on this please. I just sold my 850Gs, I'm looking for a more asphaltic model because the 850 was too tall and hard for me to move in short spaces, so I'm looking for something comfortable and easy to handle, something that I get excited for the idea of riding it and not worried for its size or else similar. My local dealers don't have any of these 2 models for demo only the rally pro which gives me an idea of how soft the tiger is but I can't ride a 1300 only mount it and it does feel as tall as the Tiger GT which I could mount too at the dealership but not ride any of those two sadly.
This is a question that I'm wrestling with myself, right now. They're both phenomenal bikes - if you can afford them both, you can't make a bad choice. Some things to consider - if you're looking for a light bike, then it's the Tiger 900 GT Pro all day long; it's much lighter. The GS doesn't feel heavy at all when you're actually riding it; the weight just disappears, since it's engineered so well, and carries it's weight very low. But when it comes to moving the bikes around when you're not riding them, the Tiger is absolutely lighter. On the road, it does feel a little bit more nimble, a little more flickable, but it's not a huge difference. In terms of saddle height - on the Tiger, I could flat foot easily, my legs had a bit of bend in them whilst flat footing. That was with the saddle in the higher position (it's a two position saddle, high and low), and just for the record, I'm medium height, about 187 cm (just under 6'2"). The BMW, if you get the one with Ride Height Assist (the one I test rode had it), when you come to a stop light, it lowers itself, and while it's in the lower position, you're sitting lower than you are on the Tiger. I think in the higher position, they'd be pretty comparable. I feel for you, being in the market for a new bike and not being able to test ride. If you have any more questions, ask away - I'll help as much as I can.
@@RogersMotorcycleAdventures Thanks thanks a lot! I'm really obsessive btw so I've read a lot of info and seen tons of videos of both models. The 1300 version that I could get don't come with the RHA. And yeah as you explain, I can imagine that while parking the bike with the motor off the Tiger should be lighter and easier to handle. I'm 176cm and 75 kilos so I'm more "low-average" and it's been complicating for me to handle my 850. In this topic, I know that the 1300 is heavier but if I'd consider that a con on that, there would be some other pros that could put it over the Tiger but I can't know that because I'm not able to ride it :/ What are your thoughs comparing these 2 on highway or road? Mostly on comfort, seating position and wind please, if you have some extra comments I'll appreciate it!
@@CESARRAD_ADV Absolutely! I think height wise, if you're not getting Ride Height Assist, it'll work out about the same. Both are lower than the 850 - that's a really tall bike (as you know!). Both have two saddle positions. I tried both in the higher position, and was able to flat foot them both easily. If I go with the GS, I won't be getting RHA - at my height, I don't need it. I did not ride the Tiger on the motorway, but it was very comfortable. Like I said in the video, if I think I'm going to go with it, I'll ask for a longer test ride, as my hands were lower than they are on the GS (relative to where the seat is), and I'd want to see if I would still be comfortable like that on a longer ride. Wind management - GS wins, hands down. It's the best ADV style bike that I've ever ridden, when it comes to wind management. The Tiger wasn't terrible; the wind was hitting me in the visor, but it wasn't turbulent air, it felt like clean airflow. But the GS wind management is so good that, when test riding it on a hot day, I had to lower the windscreen. They really did their time in the wind tunnel. Of course, with the GS, you can get the radar stuff - adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring. That's not available on the Tiger 900. Both bikes are really, really good. Fit and finish is perfect on both of them. The Tiger had more vibrations, but they weren't bad. If sound is important to you, the Tiger sounded way better. If I haven't answered anything, let me know! I can talk about this stuff all day.
@RogersMotorcycleAdventures wow thank you so much for your elaborated answer, I'll stay tuned to know your decision. Have fun and i hope you can do that 2nd tiger test ride for you to chose best bike
@@CESARRAD_ADV Thanks mate! I'll be releasing a Tiger 1200 video next week, if you're interested, and I will be making my decision before the end of September. I won't actually be announcing it until I pick the new bike up, so stay tuned!😀
It's possible I made a mistake, but if Triumph does things the same way BMW does, anything manufactured from August onward is a 2025. Either way, it doesn't make any difference - there won't be any differences between the '24 and '25.
@@RogersMotorcycleAdventuresthe newer Tiger 900 GT Pro are still coming through from Triumph Australia as 2024. If I had chosen the Rally Pro there was no 2024 stock left of certain colours. Graphite would have been 2025. No difference between years. Brakes are linked yes.

Congrats, mate, you made a great choice. It's such a good bike. I think about what a great ride it was basically every day.
I rode exactly the same demo Carnival Red bike you rode from Maroochydore. I bought a brand new boring white one. Love it!
That's awesome, man! And Jesse did tell me that when you got the bike into the sun, the white looked really good. Enjoy it!
That bike you text rode (Tiger 900 GT PRO ) is the same color I just bought….The first ride on my Tiger the TPMS warning came on also.
That's really interesting - did you check the tire pressure? Was it below the range that the TPMS was checking for?
