I had the 800 tiger and got the 900 tiger gt pro last year and I JUST LOVE IT even if it's not the 2024 version, best bike I have ever had and with 64 years of age I have had many bikes 🙂 even though I live in Germany I would never think of buying a BMW GS that's my favourite HATE bike LOL, at the time I bought my Tiger the Panniers were given off free for buying a new bike so 0ver 1000,- € saved 👍

Last year I traded my 1200 Tiger for a 900 GT Pro. I agree with your assessment and am very pleased with the overall bike, not missed the power and certainly don't miss the weight of the big motor. I have spent many full days on the 900 and can honestly say that it's an all day comfortable bike. Love it!

At age 73 I gave up my 2018 Fat Bob FXFBS for the Tiger 900 GT pro. Glade I did it too

I bought a 2024 900 Rally Pro in February, and I absolutely love it. FWIW, I'm 5'8" tall amd the wind protection is extremely good for me. Better than my 2019 1290 SAS with the standard screen for sure. On par with the 1250 gs. Can confirm the new rally pro is fantastic off road as well.

My Mutli V2 is the goldilocks of Multistrada, and i love it. This GT Pro 900 is in that category i think. And there is a difference between displacement and horsepower. No one needs any more than 80-100 HP imho.

I moved from a GS to a Multi V2S, the ‘mid range’ adv bikes are enough for most and a lot more fun on most of our roads, they are also a hell of a lot better vfm, I like the Tiger and will try one next change👍.

Enjoyed the dark opening 🤣

I have the tiger rally pro 2021. Just sat on the new street triple in black and white which you have reviewed. Nice bike and considering switching.

I got my medal I will not overlook this bike Tim 😂 this seems to be where adventure is going I like the 890 too. Think you overtook me on one once near Helmdon. Anyway, cheers for the video enjoyable as always!

Lovely machine

Great video thanks👍😎🏍️

Triumph needs to add their shaft drive to their 900 gt pro

I've got the 2023 bike and it's great. I've recently really put my back out picking it up after it tipped in a muddy field.

Good review - been struggling to find a review that covers the 2024 model (GT Pro) from a perspective of carrying luggage and pillion - would be stepping down from a GSA 1250 - know it’s gonna be way different but worried I will miss the capability of the bigger bike for long distance touring - on shopping list so far is the 900 GT Pro or the Husky Norden 901 Expedition

I don’t mind a dark opening 👍🏻

Cool review! Currently looking to pick up an adv bike that I can occasionally take my wife out on, and still enjoy on my own for some off-road fun. I've got a proper dirt bike for single track stuff, but I'd really like something that can do some lighter off reading, but make the connecting roads between off road sections more enjoyable. Had pondered a 1290 SAR, but with the sand we have down here in Florida, I'm not sure a bike like that would be good for me... I'm far from an expert rider. I had been pondering the f900 gs and the tiger rally pro... How do you feel those bikes compare? Especially keeping in mind that I'd like to bring my wife along on occasion, to try and get her more interested in getting a bike of her own....

Great presentation and love the humour. I have the 800 XRt. This 2024 version seems the biz, but is rather pricey.

I have the Aragon - last model before the new one, weirdly it’s has less vibes than my previous GT pro - literally no vibes at all, thought of waiting for new one but decided to go for Aragon. Such good bikes, but yeh a little more bhp would be welcome but I won’t lose sleep over it 😂

At the start of the year I purchased tiger 900 Aragon gt. I don't understand all the guff about vibes. I only get vibes right at the top of the rev range. At normal riding speeds (UK), Its a lovely smooth, tractable engine with more than enough power . It also has a great sound track.. Also the seat is all day comfortable. The only things that bug me about the bike are the lower crash bars, which get in the way of my size 11 boots and the crap rev counter design.

Your vid was presaged by that marvellous Injury Lawyers for Thou ad. That set up the premise for your content perfectly: the ad involves a 7-8 year old Shirley Temple wannabe stroking a helmet. It really brought the age concern aspect of your vid into perspective. Please don't tell me how the effing ad ends. Your vid was great. Ta

The shape of the panniear going up in the air is a negative vs the 750gs that is more horozontal and comfort for the passenger. Higher for all to climb onto also. hope i can re use the heated grips button for lights; or anything else, thats useful

Agree - slow CPUs are history

any commnets on the pannier seat taht was to be improved over 23' model ?? i like the pannier grab rails. I Wish Shad had them as a bolt on to the 4P pannier rails. .

That would be "unpegged", I would think. Excellent review.

This will be my 2nd gt pro and love it. Traded in my Harley , and Harley not as fun as the tiger 900

I have a 2021 Tiger 900. It’s a wonderful platform. I’d like to try the 2024 model to see how much more refined it is. Great video!

can you rewire the heated grips signal to other aux lighting.? Never needed heated grips, even at florida winters.

need a larger tinted screen for sure to block sun off the tft.

Now I might feel older than I once was but at 36 I can honestly say that the huge 1200-1300s have never really sang to me. With the power and torque available at 700-900cc I figure I’m fine for all that I do (and quite a lot of things I don’t). And let’s not even get started on the costs of the halo-bikes. All things being said the Tiger 900 GT Pro looks brilliant for what it is. Not sure I’d pick it over the GT, has too many things I don’t think I need. Depends on what models the dealer has left over I guess. Both models have cruise control and the same engine and that’s the biggie for me. Triumph OEM options are horribly priced IMO, rather spend a few days over winter fitting the Shad boxes I already have, some Oxford heated grips, barkbusters and pocket the difference tbh. Might not be all-matching all-singing but as a happily married man my days worrying about matching everything is over. Besides, it’s a middleweight ‘adventurer’ for the middle-aged. I’ll be grand.

I am also curious.

bigger, tinted windshield is first to add. is there a bar above the tft for a phone mount ?

After two 1290 Super Adventures, I now have a Desert X (which represents terrible value compared to the Tiger 900s but it's a Ducati). Maybe it is age I- 'm 64 and I did have a bad experience with a Super Adventure R and a slight camber (the RAC called the local CoOp for a youth to come and help me pick it up!😳) - but I have a Thruxton R with the lowered bars, I'll happily ride for several hours so not completely decrepit yet... It is not so much the weight and size, more the speed... The 1290's just seemed bored unless you were going very fast indeed - and you can only do that for so long in the UK with the relentless lowering of speed limits and crap road surfaces - so much as I loved the tech on the 1290S (which worked most of the time!) it had to go but I still miss the acceleration.

i assume the top box and pannier racks are seperated ?

i hear the pannier racks and crash bars on 2024 GT Pro are not compatalable with 22,23. Things moved around and no 3rd party has them yet for 24' . Test ride today and was so ez to ride/maneuver. Its like a 500x with a huge engine and all extras !

Lovely bike..very very comfortable I’d say more comfortable than my GS ..I had to buy one and live with it to find the vibey engine(2023) ..could I go back and retry ? Nah you’d never go back to a girlfriend that cheated on you !! ..also around 25kg weight difference to make it a “middleweight” I don’t find my GS that much difference tbh ..triumph the weight is higher up ….GS like a wheelbarrow

wish i could configure the display to add a digital RPM in Addition . Does the Ring help anyone ?

Has the character of the ‘24 Tiger’s drivetrain kinda evolved back to the ‘19 Tiger?

Thanks for the video Tim! What's your view on the GT Pro in comparison to the Tracer 9 GT +?

It amuses me a 900cc 220kg bike is now considered a middleweight. But then I am old…. I’m sparing you the sermon that starts, when I was young… Suffice to say I’m still on two wheels annoying as many car drivers as I possibly can 🙂✌🏻

In the USA we receive few reviews on many motorcycles just POS Harleys and superbikes. Very few triumphs or the Honda NT1100 as it will not be imported to the US per honda and the honda dealers refusing to handle them. They say it will hurt the Superbike sales from the younger jerks or the sales of the expensive Goldwing. So the reviews of the NT1100 comes the EU. Few triumphs here also. Have a 2014 triumph Trophy a great bike but hard to find anyone willing to service it. 250 miles to triumph dealer and shop.

why is the tft blurred out intentionally on some areas/

@Tim, so what would you buy Tiger 900 GT Pro or Multistrada V4 (if you ignore the extra cost)?

Terry!!!

If only you could get the GT Pro with the seat height of the Rally Pro. Otherwise, looks to be the perfect bike for me. Nice video.

the 850sport just got cancelled for asia that was 196kg;; perfect and seame seating as the tiger GT for great pannier riding. Less options sure but 4500.00 usd less also.

LOL at 5:56 is the garage I use because it is the only one near me in Newdigate that has premium unleaded (But really because it has a Greggs and a Greggs Filthy Sausage Roll is a thing of wonder on a ride)

I'm looking at one of these or the Ducati Multistrada V2S in place of a GS, which is too heavy so wanting a sub 1000cc touring bike, any thoughts?

Can you select one default rpm, speed with selection of tpms, temps, gas, time, as background. like bmw has. many sub displays to choose from . the GT pro is price-area specific. for sure. i hear so many weights listed on so many vdo's. Dry listed at 200kg there abouts; full for sure 222 kg. What is is really to compare with the 500x at 200kg and the 750gs at 222kg; dry.

Just had a 2 hour test ride on 900 gt pro had three issues with it biggest one it wants to stay upright you have to put effort in to make it turn in then there's the heated grips on full same as my multistrada lowest setting not good and then the poor wind protection on the plus side engine and gearbox were brilliant. Got back on my 950 multistrada and was shocked how quickly it changed direction compared to the tigèr so sadly not going to buy one.

🥇

is it ez access to switch from road to rain mode; a quick flick while driving. ?

hows' the pillion sit ok with that top box. illuminated buttons is one more thing to fail/fix.

Hi! I’m getting old. I have a GS. I’m struggling with moving it around. So the Tiger is interesting. However when I tried the old one I found the width of the tank-frame-engine section was spreading my legs (!) too much, and as a male that’s something I don’t enjoy too much. Did the width bother you?

just add more rubber in the handlebar frame. if it vib's. pannier rails; ? wait till you add another 12" of box on each side !!

Can u pick riding modes while riding the bike ? or do you have to stop first

How do you think this compares to 24 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT + when looking at only road use?

I am very old from the days before motorcycles got all segmented into markets & niches. In the 90s & noughties we used to tour all round Europe for two weeks at a time on Sports Bikes (ZX7) with soft luggage etc why buy something dull like this? You can tour on Street Triple… & I’m going to

same weight as the 750gs that is noticeably top heavy and harder to handle at 72 yrs old. Get it down to 200 kg. It's ez for me to handle.

One of the reasons I did away with my 900 was the HORRIBLE ‘tales of the topographic oceans’ display - well done Triumph for listening to ( disappointed) users

Nice review Tim but are you giving away secrets of your wealth when you suggest after getting crushed in the garage you’d be found by your housekeeper 😅😅😅

The ktm would be a poor choice. They have some reliability issues. You’d be wise to go with the tiger, and in my opinion, the RP is the better way to go if you’re tall enough even if you don’t plan on riding dirt. You do lose the electric suspension and that’s actually a good thing. Tire size makes little difference and the suspension is much better. Nice video tho!!!

Crackcam, made me laugh......a lot. Keep up the good work.

something wrong to have vibrations to begin with ? 6'3 makes it far easeier to handle, hold etc. I'm at 6' its about the max seat height. The weight is still heavier than my 500x at 200 kg. . No add a 65kg person on the the back and you have weight to handle, with possible sharp turns etc. at 72 yrs old. I'm thinking 200kg woiuld be great but this 900 engine

You won't get stuck under a 1300GS (or any other BMW boxer twin, for that matter) because the cylinder heads stick out and give your legs plenty of room to wiggle out when it's on its side. Just saying. :p

just over 200kg dry. should only quote dry weights to compare actual. its light with little gas. and ez to handle. I hear both traction control and riding modes can only be changes while your stopped ? just tested a 2024 gt pro ! Why

With this TFT software and awful user experience I will never buy a new Tiger, neither a 900 nor a 1200. I will keep my Gen3 Tiger 1200.

I bought a brand new tiger 900 in 2022, i traded it in last march [2023] for the old version 800....apart from the headlight and clocks, i hated the 900...each to their own.

Do you have to stand like that, darling?!

T Plane = NO

So basically Triumph like to pull your pants down on all accessories like most other bike manufacturers 🤷🏻 #ripoffbritain
