Nope, needs shaft drive and a proper sized fuel tank. Also I’d love to do without the electronic suspension nav etc… I test drove all these mid and large ADVs and and saved tons of money by buying a super tenere. Everything I like about the tiger the Super tenere did the same.

I own a 2016 Yamaha FJ 09. A few months ago I tested a 2023 Tiger Rally Pro to see if it was an upgrade option. I'm aware that the Tiger GT Pro was the proper to compare with my FJ 09, yet I picked the Rally because of the more suspension run and hence, more comfort. After I tested it, yes, the suspension was better, the motor is smooth, yet the sitting position for a tall person like me was not very good (I bent my knees a lot, at least more than with the FJ 09). I felt as well a lot of heath coming out to my legs from motor on city commute. And, the motor experience in the FJ 09 was better for me, so I decided on the end to stay with my FJ 09. I'd need to test the 2024 Rally Pro to see if I change my opinion, specially because of the additional foot peg position for on road that could improve the ergonomics for me. In the end, if it'd convince me, would be for my highway trips, not for off road. For off road I would not buy this bike as it's too heavy, I rather use a small one like the Honda XRE 300 sold in Latin America... is lightweight, comfortable and very driveable in bad roads.

Here in Australia we have HUGE distances on road before the adventure starts, and as an owner of the 2020-23 Tiger 900 RP the on-road performance is amazing. Cruising for hours in comfort, then the same bike can hit the fire trails. Crazy!

I've had my 2023 Tiger Rally Pro for a year and still love riding it. The first few months I had a few slow-speed falls. 6 in the dirt/sand and 2 on the road. The little tank always started and always got me home after each crash. At 5' 7" my feet barely touch the ground. I'm learning how to balance the bike at low speeds, look farther ahead, and become one with the bike. This is a very well-manufactured and thought-out motorcycle.

Ian your focus on meaningful details and adjustments is always awesome. Reinforcing the directions for offroad setup from the manual can save folks a lot of downs. Range is really a factor for me. Having a tank a little over 5 gallons for potential 250 mile range is huge. On the flip side the motor doesn’t deliver the kind of low-end trail grunt that is invaluable on my old Boxer GS.

Triumph really builds a fantastic machine, but last week I flipped my mindset to the Husqvarna Norden 901 which now very happily lives in my stable.

Great review sir! Your usual detailed and informative content. I own a 2021 RP, bought lightly used in 22. Nice to see they addressed the display and added a few ponies. I love mine. Other than the usual accessories to haul "stuff", the only mods I have made are slightly lowered SW-M pegs (even with the seat set in the high position, my knees got cramped up...still wish for slightly more room....seat pad or custom seat?), and replaced the stock Rally handlebar with one from a GT as they are much more comfortable for me, matching the sweep of my BMWs (same height and width as Rally). I'm currently trying on some windscreens...first was the Givi tall for Rally Pro (D6418ST...waaay too tall and they dont offer a low for the Rally); on order is a Givi short screen (D6415S intended for GT, but since I use GT bars, I'm hoping it fits).

The Tiger 900 is a fantastic bike. Comes loaded. No question! I tested the 2024 model but I bought the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro three weeks ago. I went for a new 2023 Tiger 1200 because it completely convinced me and I got it for a stunning price (cheaper than the 900). On top I just cannot understand why the 900 comes with a 17 inch rear wheel. The 1200 has blown me away. What a bloody fantastic bike! 21inch front and shaft drive. Killer combination. And it does not feel heavier than the 900. Headlights, suspension, riding position (especially standing) and position/width of handlebars are also better on the 1200 compared to the 900. The 1200 feels more stable than the 900 (especially offroad) and you do not have to adjust anything manually before offroading.

Ian it would be nice e to hear your comparison of the 2023 and 2024 model year 1200 Rally Pro vs new 2024 model year 900 Rally Pro. Lots of earlier reviews gave the weight disadvantages of the larger bikes minimal plus sides. The linked braking still isn’t on the 1200 even in the newest 2024 model year which is unfortunate. Wonder if that can be added with software updates in the same way that the lowering feature has now been included by holding the HOME button down. Surprised that the lowering feature isn’t on the 900 too. All manufacturers just just use Apple Car Play for linking the phone to the dash for navigation etc. I gave up on the Triumph system and even when it’s properly linked the dash navigation leaves lots to be desired.

However, my two big worries are the vibes - seems like they've improved them - and this annoying valve ticking noise that kicked in around 10K km on mine. Heard they redesigned the cylinder head in this upgrade, which might fix it. Any info on that would be really great.

I love my 2022 Tiger 900 Rally. A awesome riding bike, solid on the road, dirt roads and the limited off road I've ridden. Thanks for the info on the rake. I bought mine for limited off road riding, and have my previous bike still a Suzuki DR650 Dualsport for true off road riding. Still the tiger is pretty solid on everything I have ridden it on so far. I just don't ask it to be what its not, a single track go anywhere do everything bike. On my 6k mile National Park tour, it was great, got me to every off road camping spot just fine, on our more local rides, also just fine. It's very tire dependent so plan on some 90/10's and about 8k miles. I just picked up a set of the stock road tires it came with for my tours to save the 90/10's for the more off road trips. Also did a aftermarket flash and it rides so much better.

@stevek4449 Ай бұрын
Awesome review Ian ! Can you get a low seat option to lower it by 20mm like the 1200 rally explorer? Granted the 1200 suspension via home button can drop an additional 20mm for a combined 40mm drop., can you do that manually on the 900? 32 inch inseam.So I can flatfoot my 32.1” seat height KLR 650 S . Good job including air filter, thanks.

Still the best all around adventure for do everything IMO. Iv'e owned a lot like you and still my 2022 900 RP was my favorite. I'm sure this is that much better. If I can only have one bike to tour the world this would be it.

Thank you. Excellent review. How would you score the Norden 901 Expedition that also includes a lot of standard features, compared to the Tiger 900? The Norden’s MSRP is $16499.

Great review Ian. I was really curious about your review thoughts since I just recently bought the same bike. I think you're spot on with your comments. One quick question for you: which Motoz tires did you update to? I can't tell from the video and I need to replace the OEM tires like you. Thanks and please keep up the great videos!

@raa8201 Ай бұрын
No I would not buy another Tiger, from a previous owner. Here's the reasons why. 1) That front rake. You mentioned it, I'll elaborate on it. It can be controlled, but takes a lot more effort. That's energy that a 50+ year old needs to apply somewhere else. On the dirt, you will go down. It does make for a fantastic street bike though. 2) Lack of a dealership network for service beyond my expertise. Not a huge issue, but an issue. 3) Lack of access to oe and aftermarket parts/accessories. The limited amount of dealers there are, carry no parts. They always have to order them, which leads to long down times. But on a positive response. It makes for fantastic street bike/canyon carver.

@chloew925 Ай бұрын
Thanks for yhe review! I've always been attracted to the Triumph Tiger models. I lucked out late last summer and gotvan awesome deal on a 2021 Tiger 900 GT Low loaded with a heated Corbin 'saddle', crash bars, and hard panniers (let me tell you it was a total steal). I'd love to try out a bunch of other adventure motorcycle brands and models, but unfortunately I'm too short for anything that has a seat height over about 30 inches (maybe more, but the shape of the seat matters). It sucks because I would love to see if I like Honda's DCT on their Africa Twin.

@dezelvol Ай бұрын
Thank you for review. Worth to add that not only rake impacts steering, but also a lack of wheel axis offset. Everyone of mentioned competitors have some of axis offset, but tiger has none. Axis offset adds to stability more than just bumping up the rake. Most of axis offset has Tenere 700, probably that is the reason, why it handles like a harley on low speeds.

Hi Ian Great vid so informative that I bought one🙌🏼 Have you found a way to keep the odometer on the main screen? It’s sad that I have to go to service from the home button whenever I want the mileage 😔 Oh well, minor details but the bike is AWESOME! Keep up the good work.

Really great review Ian and the best feature for me, and I seem to be the only person on the internet that feels this way is the Quickshifter delete button. I really don't like Quickshifters. The worst thing is that blinking wrench. I shouldn't have to put black tape on my new TFT. Honestly I was really thinking Norden 901 Expedition then the Tiger came out and I thought that would be my next bike purchase but after your review I'm leaning back to the Norden. Thanks for the review.

Recently bought a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer & yes the amount of features that come standard is very impressive. Look into tune ECU to reset the 600mi service notice. You need an Android Tablet & a blue tooth OBD Link to plug into the bike. You can adjust the throttle valve openings in all the different ride modes & unlock the bikes potential. I did this with my 1200 & its a totally different bike. They are pretty restricted from the factory
