Hi Pavlin, The PRO version also has:- cruise control, self canceliering indicators (selectable), Tyre pressure monitoring, back lit controls, Blue Tooth connectivity (for phone, helmet head set, GoPro control and GPS), and last of all, that all important, Centre Stand. I do share the comments though of all the technology, as an example, I had disconnected the fog lights to remove the upper engine bars, I then used the bike before reconnecting the lights, this then triggered a "Engine Management" warning which only said "Check Engine". it turned out that the engine Management thought I had faulty fog lights, this explanation was only available after a visit to the dealership to connect the diagnostic tool, read and rest the fault, not what you need in the middle of the dessert! Despite this, I've had my Tiger now for just under a year and I love it. Cheers, Gordon
Thanks for sharing, Gordon! This info might be useful for many future riders of the model.
@@motorcycleadventures 👍
I have things to do but I stay with you anyway
Thanks, man!
It's such a pleasure to watch your reviews.
Excellent review very very good motorcycle no doubt, but i think that KTM 890 adventure, not R version only adventute version, must be a slightly cheaper than T.T GT Pro !!
Hello Pavlin. Thanks for the great review. I actually bought the GT Pro about a month ago and am very pleased with it. I agree with all of your observations. It's a very easy and predictable bike to ride and i do like the sound of the engine. This video is the first i have seen from you. Your country looks beautiful and maybe i'll visit on my bike one day. All the best. David.
Thanks for taking the time, David!
Once again you are right.
My 650 cc was boring and a pain in the ass literally to ride on the highway. But at every twisty road,bad road or offroad the fun started to arise
Got my GT Pro a month ago and I absolutely love it! Plenty of power and comfort for everyday comuting and also long rides with some light offroad capabilities!
Great to hear! Enjoy it!
Pavlin! I've had my red 2020 Tiger 900 GTP for a little over a year now. It's a great bike with a lot of capability. I just wish the aftermarket would catch up to all the demand being created!
Great review mate. I’ve got a 900 GT Pro and ridden it across a fair part of eastern Australia. Love it, on the highway, in town… fantastic bike.
Thanks for sharing!
My wife has the GTpro low and loves it, i gave the rally pro which out of the 40 bikes I have owned is the best so far.
Great! Enjoy it!
Bought GT!900..fabulous motor 🏍 cool review 😎..👍
Nice 👍!
...I was deciding between the GT and the Rally....I went with the Rally.
But had been on the Africa Twin....the height I like better.
I bought just last Saturday...👍👍👍
In Texas.
Good, enjoy it!
Triump Tiger.. One of the best bikes for Long rides and adventure.
Thanks for taking the time!
I own this bike for 12+ months. Awesome machine.
Enjoy it!
Super helpful review. You reviewed it like I, and most of us will be using it. I have a 40mile ride on freeway to work and 45 miles home on the backroads with an occasional trip thrown in.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best comparisons... thanks Pavel! For me, 70 years old, GS 1250 is too heavy, this tiger is the bike! The solid successor to the so honorable
GS 1200 AC! Main reason: weight, tire dimensions, but all useful modern extras like cruise control...
Hello,
The crash guards (engine, upper) are options. The fog lights are stock, although if you get the upper engine bars you need to have them repositioned onto the bars, which involves the purchase of a repositioning kit.
Good to know, thanks!
The big win on this bike is the 222kg load capacity, typical Triumph and their very high ratings on all of their adventure bikes. For reference a BMW 1250 GSA TE is rated at 217kg max load. The rear shock on yours is electronically adjustable and changeable on the fly regardless of rider mode. You can set this bike up very soft in 10-15 seconds if you wish. I only had a test ride for a few hours while my 1200 was being serviced, it was superb.
the f800gs also had a higher load capacity than the r1200gs don't know about the f850gs. The 1250 is heavier the the 1200 it replaced bet the payload got less. Think it's 242kg kerb weight now.
Good to know.
Mud and sand would drop that rating to 0kg. Got2go burned a clutch in mud and her travelmate on an AT burned their clutch in sand. Both on a "road" .
Thanks Pavlin!! I'm about to get my T900GT-PRO and your review confirms my point of view about this bike. Thanks again :)
My pleasure!
😂 I had nothing to do and stayed with you 👍
Thanks, man!
Great review once again. I love these down to earth reviews, with useful information.
Glad to help!
I bought the GT low version because of my incredibly short legs. Can't do any off road with that but it's such a refined and beautiful bike, blew me away on a test ride and on middle and west european roads it should serve me well.
The sound of that triple is simply amazing as well....
Hello. How do you find the GT low version so far? I am thinking of buying the same but i don’t know if regular or low… I am 170cm tall, 77 kg and 30 inch inseam…Can you tell me how tall you are, inseam and weight? Did you scrape the pegs anytime? Take care and I hope you enjoy your bike!
@@benriley4398 Thanks for the reply! In the end I bought a regular Tiger 900 GT Pro wich I am going to pick up from the dealership next Monday. Most people assured me that the 810mm seat height will be ok for me to flat foot it. And I also bought the low seat so if needed I can set it at 780mm. So from what you are telling me, it should be 100% ok :) can’t wait to pick it up!
how did your purchase go and how do you like the tiger?@@mirceavasile8392
Ive been waiting for this video. Thank you. Your honest opinion is what like most about you.
My pleasure, Greg!
Just for info ... the handlebar controls for this motorcycle are made in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Good to know!
What a beautiful bike. I love the quick shift, sensible styling, neat display. Great review.
Nice bike, nice test. Weather has cleared so off to Albania next week then into Macedonia for 2 weeks.
Have fun!
Visit Himara in Albania. You will enjoy!! You can reach me out if you need place to stay:D
@@KlePhys Thanks, booked into Berat for a few days then ride Llagora pass to Sarande, few days there then up to Korcha and into Ohrid, places booked already. I rode the pass last year, awesome ride.
@@mikehurley5052 Nice. Have fun!! You can have a coffee or lunch in Livadh beach, Himare before you arrive in Sarande. It's a place you have to see hehe😁
Pavlin: Adventure Like a BOSS!
Love your reviews. No bad words to say!
Thanks, Alex!
P hi jjkjj9811iiiiqiq
love the sound and power. quick shifter looks joy.
It does!
Pavlin, try Rally Pro and you'll be more happy. :)
When I have the chance, I will.
If your going off road, I preferred GT pro - and bought one !
great review Pavlin. We are from Slovakia but spend all summers in Ravda. So you tested the Tiger on all our well known streets in the town and around Burgas. Yesterday I ordered the GT Pro in our dealer in Bratislava and think, its a good decision. I am 1.90 mtr heigh ans think the size will suit me well.
Good review. I can't wait for my tiger rally pro to arrive. I hope he is as good as they say.
Good luck on your future trips, man!
Corect test for that tipe of the motorcycle, esential information. Exelent review. Keep up the good work Bratko. Pozdrav od Srbija
Glad you liked it!
Very good test ride. Thank you for your comments and appreciations. drive safe
My pleasure, Mario!
I bought the brand new Rally Pro about 2 months earlier. But it was to sporty (the riding position) for me. It's a shame because the whole bike is/was a masterpiece. Sold it and bought the Africa Twin (standard) and for me this is the one, the best one. And again, Triumph is a very good machne in every way.
I know it's a personal thing and 100% agree with U. If U have a chance to ride it before buy it - do it! Do it with every bike if U have chance...
Really like your style and your honest talk. Keep doing what you doing. Be safe and cheers form Hungary!
Thanks, Ned!
Thank you...this my replace my tracer 900 in US. It seems more polished, better behaved, and I like the motor, it seems like it has better manners. The Yamaha is very jumpy with maybe too much torque down low.
Whatever is best for you!
Excuse my ignorance, I only just found your channel yesterday and I love it, was wondering what country you are in? Binge watching your channel today, love your riding philosophy!!!
Bulgaria
These bikes practically ride themselves now days. Getting more like cars than untamed fun machines. Great review thou 👍
True!
Love this channel because of a no BS approach attitude. Thanks 👍🇨🇦
I appreciate that!
Very useful. Thank you.
I love the sound of this bike.....
It is nice!
Good and honest review, I would like to buy it for sure. But it is still a lot of money for a hobby bike 😒 Maybe second hand I would buy it.
Totally agree!
Hi Pavlin, Very good test ride. Thank you for your comments and appreciations. drive safe💪👍
My pleasure, Hans!
Thanks for your video! I was looking for this bike to replace my Super Tenere 1200 ES (2016), but I think it will not be enough... especially that now I flashed the ECU and the throttle response is smooth and has more torque at low revs. 65.000km and I'll keep it for a few more years I guess.
Just try it!
Crash bars and radiator protectors are not stock, they are accessories but dealers will always do a deal to sell the bike ;)
Great review i have owned one for a year and love it... the suspension can easily be softened on the dash.... the seat needs time to bed in and chain drive is a pain i had a shaft driven 1200 before but of course brings extra weight
Thanks for the info!
A very nice machine! I was sort of surprised you didn't mention that the Bumot rack/panniers are built in Bulgaria! I bought the panniers/rack system for my Africa Twin and love the quality of them over many of the other brands out on the market! Happy Trails and safe journeys
I am not fan of the hard panniers.
Great review Pavlin, Thankyou from Shropshire, UK
Any time!
Good review my friend, and what a lovely bike!
Glad you like it!
I saw as well your test of the Yamaha T9; correct me if I'm wrong but as per your reactions, I noticed you had more fun on the T9 ? Can you notice the extra 20 hp in the T9 ?
what about testing that sweet old transalp at the end of the video ? ;)
I might do it later in the year.
Hi Pavlin,
Did you have the (unfortunate) chance to test the crash bars from Heed? I've read many horror stories about aftermarket bars damaging the frame
No, sorry!
It really is light. I thought the V-strom 650XT was light... until I test rode the 900GT. Whoahh... more displacement, more cylinders, more engine oil, more coolant... but the Triumph still felt noticeably lighter. I wonder why...
I'm considering triumph GT pro and the new tracer GT 900. Which do you think is better.
Try them both and you will know. My opinion it doesn't matter!
Love your reviews!!👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Great rewiew!
Between Tiger 900 GT PRO and F850GS, which motorcycle do you prefer?
Tenere 700!!! What I prefer it doesn't matter, I am not going to ride your motorcycle!
Great analysis as always Pav. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, Marty!
good video , im looking at this bike and you have moved me closer to buy . Im a small rider though. is there much vibration at highway speeds?
No vibrations at all.
Should be able to rise the seat. Its adjustable underneath.
I challenge you on Friday night. Everytime Pavlin says "very good" take a shot. 🤣🤣
There will be a lot of shots I guess!
Beautiful now. I worry about electronics on the road and in future after a few years and kilometres.
Perhaps I am too old fashioned and need to get with it!
Good review thank you, happy travels.
I have the same concerns. Is that mean that I am also too old?
@@motorcycleadventures I think we are just different. No one is right or wrong. Enjoy what you like. That way everyone happy. I think.
Agree!
Get mine on Friday. Thanks
Any time!
Thank you! Nice review.
Glad it was helpful!
I tried Tiger rally pro, what I didnt like was engine vibrations above 4000 rpm. I felt it mainly on the feet stands. And the engine noise is not that great. Too much rumbling. Finally decided to buy tracer 9gt.
Whatever is best for you!
Great video. You did not mention anything about buzzing in the bars at hwy speeds. That is good. I am considering this bike but want it to be smooth, not buzzy. Thanks
Glad to help!
Nice safety feature these speed bumps in the cities of Bulgaria,like it or not you will slow down.
True
Excellent Review
I own a 2020 TIger 900 GT Pro - now have about 10K KM on the clock - very happy with it - except the Bluetooth system is so bad I just turn it off
Good to know.
Lots of owner complaints and literally no customer support. Most dealers only know how to turn the module on and off. Triumph clearly outsourced the software development. For the price, they could have done MUCH better.
Thanks.
Welcome!
Excellent sum up!
Glad you liked it!
I had Tracer 900 2019 model. It was too fast for me so I end up with MG V85 TT :) so far so good.
Whatever works for you, Tom!
Greta review!
Thanks, man!
Very well detailed review, i liked it. Good job. Only question and suggestion, how much you weight is quite important on acceleration. I am around 16 stone (UK) and quite struggling to decider 1200 or this... Want to hear what you could say about this.
I am 105kg. No idea how many stones.
Nice review! How would you compare it to the new tracer 9 gt, in terms of suspension, comfort and engine? I own a 2019 standard versys 1000, but i think i want to downsize.. To porky of a bike at 258 kg..
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?
It would be too small for you.
I love the torque kick. without that riding is so boring.
True!
What do you think about the V85TT? Are you going to try it one day? Will wait for the notification.
I will try it when I have the chance.
Hi Pavlin, did you feel any kind of difference in comfort of your Yamaha's spoked wheels and Tiger's alloy wheel? E.g. in potholes on citiy roads? (Because I don't understand at all why adventure bikes are made with alloy wheels.)
The difference is huge but not because of the wheels.
I think the Rally Pro would be more up your alley
True
Good job Pavlin!
Thanks, Denis!
hello there! nice review! which one you think is better for nice rides around country... tiger or tracer 9 and why? thanks!
Try them both and you will know. What I prefer might be different.
Nice bike for sure!! Is it filtering through the traffic normal in Bulgaria ? Just asking ! I wish it would be here in Canada as it is in California
it's not legal, but accepted more or less. welcome in east/middle eu 😉 same for slovakia, czech, hungary, romania... if you find a stupid police officer, then you have an issue.
Yes, it is normal. It is not leagal but drivers don't mind.
OK in UK too. Not Germany though I think
Would you recommend the bike in the "900 Low" version? I am 168cm tall, with boots 172.
Nice video, seems to be a very nice bike, I like the dash board and the shifter is sooooo cool, but I love more my KTM 1190...ride safe Pavlin !!
Fair enough! Ride whatever you like!
Would be interesting how the white colour lasts over time
Better than any other dark colors.
Very nice presentation! Can you tell us also something about the average consumption?
5 l per 100 km
Great review. Between this triumph tiger 900 and the yamaha tracer 9 you reviewed. Which would you advice someone to buy. Thanks
I was about to ask the same question :-)
Whatever is better for you and your budget.
Great info!
Thanks!
What manufacturer are the crash bars?
Good review. Thanks
Heed.
Lovely review, lovely bike.
Many thanks!
thank you !
You're welcome!
Hi good review. Can i ask you honest opinion please. I noticed you have also tested the new Tracer 9 GT. These two bikes are my two options for my next bike. Can i ask your opinion in how they both compare in terms of performance, handling, comfort and quality and which one you prefer. Thanks
They are more or less the same. I prefer the Tracer.
@@motorcycleadventures Thanks is there a particular reason why? 👍
Triumph is a bit more "agriculture", compare to Yamaha.
nice but 50 hp is more than enough but im not strong in enough to use the clutch lever so no clutch for my thats wy i have dct on my bike and i liked it
You don't need to strong guy to use the clutch.
Hi! Is this motorcycle good for offroading? Let's say, riding 70% road and 30% offroad? How capable is it for offroading? I think you missed that important part in your test...
I am interested in a machine that will do tarmac very well, but also some offroading.
Let's split definitions more specifically. With the right tires., The GTP is plenty capable of OFF-PAVEMENT (double track dirt/gravel/fire roads etc.) Call it 80/20. The RALLY Pro model is OFF-ROAD.
Nice machine with no doubt. But as most of the modern bikes it has too much of electronics gadgets (the new Africa Twin is another perfect example) which can lead to dangerous distractions, particularly with the huge amount of traffic we have today on our roads.
Agree but... it is what it is! You can always choose with what to travel.
Hi Pavlin !
Nice review as usual.
One question. Did you feel vibrations, for example, after 120 km/h ?
How can you characterize them: noticeable, annoying, no vibrations ?
I`m riding CB500X (19) now (thanks to your review) and try to understand what I`ll receive in case of upgrade.
Unfortunately we have no possibility to test drive Triumph in Ukraine
Nothing at all, but I ride 600cc single cylinder, so...
Vibration very low and not really noticeable. My 2015 800 tiger gave out more vibration and at a higher frequency. I am very happy with my gt pro!
@@fazerstorm-oap any noticeable difference in torque ??..,Inhave a 2016 XRX …thanks in advance 🙌
I find the bike pulls really well. It feels slightly rougher due to the firing order but that give it more character. I think in normal riding, it means you can change up at lower revs but still get the same performance.
@@fazerstorm-oap Awsmmmmm…safe miles✊🙌
Nice Bike 👍 go ahead & well be good brother for your Tenere
I am good just with the Tenere!
Hi, what you prefer Triumph 900Gt or KTM 890 Adventure i am the same height as you so prefer to sit a bit higher. i am confused about both options alongside Traser 900. i would appreciate your help before I take my wallet out. regards,
Tenere 700 for me. What I prefer it doesn't matter. Ride them both and you will know.
Nice review.. Great motorcycle...but compared it should be within its class with the gs850, adv890 etc. and maybe with the tenere 700 ...
Fair enough!
Good question is...
Would you prefer this GT over Yamaha tracer GT? I think this two fullfil the same purpose at the and of the day
Really like your videos, and what I've seen on the new Triumph Tigers. I'd love to trade my old 08 reliable KLR650 in for a new Tiger. But, to answer your question. No, the new Tigers are not worth what they sell for. They're way too expensive for me to buy one.
Glad you like them!
Not because it is to expensive for you, that it’s not worth it’s money…
I found the engine vibes on accel a little annoying on test drive?
Ok
Very cool bike..👍 good job
Thanks!
This is a super bike but I can't help finding the GS better.
Ok
