What did we think of the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro? Well we loved it, in my opinion best mid weight Adventure bike money can buy! Thanks for tuning in and just to let you know our MotoUK Store is now open link here: influencerstore.co.uk/motouk/ if your keen to get the T Shirt, Hoodie or a Mug for your coffee in a morning go check it out 🙏 cheers Nick.
Nick I eventually got on mine after back surgery, and I echo your thoughts, I love it! Very good upright riding position for folk like me with back issues. The engine is lovely and I really can’t think of anything I don’t like, I have clocked up 1600 miles around the Lakes and North York’s and it’s perfect for my visits to the chippies!
Keep up the great work and maybe see you in the Lakes sometime.
Cheers
@@garysatterthwaite3751 thanks 🙏 great feedback and glad your back up and out on the bike 👌
I bought the Tiger 900 Rally two months ago and I love it I am 6ft 4inches and find it light and handles fantastic, I road a Harley road king for 11 years
Good to hear Ross! 👍 they are a fab bike
Yep, agree with what you say - got a GT Pro and done 10k miles in a year …. I personally hated the OEM tyres and changed them after a couple of thousand miles for Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2 ‘s - so much better ! Also got a Scorpion exhaust that is much cheaper than an Arrow, and sounds better…..
As always enjoyed your Vlog immensely. Keep them coming 👍
Pick up my GT pro 5th May. It’s like being a kid again on the run up to Christmas
Awesome exciting times, congrats 🥳 cheers 🍻
Picking mine up tomorrow morning can’t wait 👍🏻
Yeah congrats 🥳
I got the standard gt 2023 low ride height as I’m 5.6 and love it I’ve had supebikes all my life but this I just love handles great punchy engine super comfy I’ve a few bikes but this tiger gt is my go too all the time just enjoy riding so much more than I ever did the dash layout to me is fine got all I need easy to navigate great job triumph job well done
They are great bikes, comfy and as I’ve just bought the tiger 1200 that’s my work horse these days
I have the same exact bike with 6000 miles on it now. Love it. I will change the tires next season
Awesome aren’t they 👍
I got over 8,000 miles on the stock Metzeler Tourance Next tires, street riding only. I replaced them with the same but Next 2 versions.
liking the front of your house at the beginning of the videos !! yes, I share your enthusiasm of the bike it's a shame your lady doesn't, may be a diamond of some sort will help her change her view ! I see TMF is trying the same bike, I will just pop over and see his thoughts, but I don't think he has any more room in his garage.
Yes it’s a grand entrance 😂 if you like golf! ⛳️ a diamond 💎 OMG that’s bike money 💰 🤣 think TMF is testing the Suzuki VStrom not the tiger 🐅 👍 Sunday looks nice mild and sun ☀️
@@MOTOUK1 yes I was looking at the TMF on the 2020 model last year, but like you, he was loving it, mentioned that even with clutchless up and down gear change that you have to pull in the clutch in when coming to a stop, the only thing negative he had to say was the model he was given was in white.
I’m not into white bikes either, I see the Street Triple RR also has a white option. When I bought the SP, strangely my favourite colours are blue, black, silver and those were the colours it came in 😂
Belisamo 👌
I tried the Triumph OEM deflector which adds another 2 inches for taller riders. I use the digital rpms at the top all the time but yes that could be improved for sure.
I ride mine all year in northwest part of U.S. because of the features make it possible. I've taken my wife with me on a 1800 mile ride and she loved the comfort on back and we still averaged 48.5 mpg (U.S.) which included the two aluminum panniers and top box.
I've had mine just over a year and like it better now than I did when I bought it.
Great to hear from an owner and on the screen and comfort two up. Thanks 🙏
Yeah 20 litre tanks its one of my fav things re my current👍.
Is it easy to see through the screen when wet. No motorbike mini wipers?😂.
Not been out yet in weather like you did! Still ok down South😉
The shot you see is the camera lower than my eyes 👀 at 6’2 I look over the screen. 👍
The only bike on the market that would drag me away from my V-Strom 650.
Not a fan of the dash layout either but could live with it as I wouldn't need the tachometer with such a powerful and mellifluous machine.
Stalk near the indicator switch is my only qualm. I'll take a white GT if buying new, or GT Pro if buying used as it has lots of non-essential extras.
Be interested in your thought of the tiger 660 as a competitor to your v-strom 650 ?
@@MOTOUK1 I'm pretty rigid about having the "Goldilocks" 19" front rim as it provides the best compromise of sporty road feel and stability on degraded tar/gravel roads. Wouldn't consider a Tiger 660, Tracer9 GT or Versys 650 for their 17" fronts. Also a BIG fan of the offbeat triple in the 900. Tiger 900 is 1kg heavier (dry weight) to my Strom 650 but with vast amounts of power. Would prefer the 650's power with lighter weight but will enjoy the lower engine revs of the Tig9 on the highway. Ta!
As I’m big but not huge per se, @ 6’2” 220 lbs am I physically to big for the 900 cc bike & better suited for the 1200?
Or is the frame the same size on both bikes with 900
Hi Jeff, frames I believe to be different and no the 900 would suit you fine for sure, recommend go test ride one 👍
I am 6’ tall with a 32” inseam and the Tiger 900 GT Pro is a good fit for me. I have the seat at the upper setting and can almost flat foot the bike. I am going to add an offset riser for the handle bars in hopes that I can sit a bit a bit more vertically.
Mmm difficult to choose would you swap your MT10 SP for this one Nick ? and do I want to swap my aged XJR12 and my classic V65 magna 11 for this one bike it's gonna take some thinking about this one I also like the Speed twin and the Speed Master . Really I would like to just add another but like you my wife just doesn't understand . ; ) Cheers
No I wouldn’t swap my MT10SP for anything, when i bought that its a life bike, pass on to my kids! Show them what mental is, well thats if they sell petrol when they get old enough 😂 I would like one though really good bike but i think i want a classic in the stable T120 or Scrambler XE also
I am also torn guys , I think the T120 is a fabulous bike , I rode the last version and the way it makes you feel is unbelievable!
Yes that classic look is hard to beat and so many custom parts available
Honestly you could justify one of these as it's so different to the MT10 I want one the new aprilia tuareg 660 but I wouldn't get rid of the tuono tbh too much fun.
If i could justify and get past the wife, I’m sure i would be more 😂
Nick any issues with vibrations through the bars on the Tiger 900
Hi Stuart no issue at all, its fine 👍
@@MOTOUK1 Thanks Nick ,I did have one ordered last year but had to cancel it due to circumstances beyond my control ,waiting for the 1200 to come out before I make a decision!
Won’t be long now
Does the Bluetooth system work for navigation ?
I have one Rally Pro and no way to connect my iPhone for navigation using Mytriumph
As far as I know yes should work, here is instructions czcams.com/video/x7oW9oAJwDE/video.html
Would you recommend this for 2 up touring?
Yes absolutely, if you also had a top box on then the pillion has something to lean back on and makes for a more comfy ride. Ive found also it stops the pillion leaning on the rider which after some miles is a pain. Very roomy bike. Nice torque and would be a good two up touring bike. Also now they launched the 1200 range too, very nice did you see czcams.com/video/isN9eciWg8s/video.html
Yes, the 1200 looks superb, but is much more expensive..
Hi Nick, can I ask did you experience any engine heat on your legs.
No not that I remember
It does put out heat in summer. I put on some after-market heat shields behind the radiator fans, I will soon see if they work.
@@sliglusamelius8578 please let me know how you get on
@@kf-dk5pb My Tiger 900 definitely pumps out heat on the knees during Summer. More on the left side than right. It's actually welcoming riding in the cooler months. But in the middle of the Summer, it's REALLY noticeable at slow speeds or in traffic
You still need to try a Multistrada 😊
Yes Still plan too at some point 👍
If a litre weights 1kg then 20 litre is 20kg so 198kg bike and 20kg fuel = 218kg.... is the wet weight!
+ Oil + coolant + brake fluid are also wet things...
Why is Lancashire so much grimmer than Yorkshire ?
Not sure I understand what your saying
Give your Wife an ultimatum, tell her it’s a new Tiger or.............you won’t do the hoovering anymore😁
Haha hoovering what’s that ? Never done that before😂👍 ooh and wait for the tuesday video at 12:01 Tiger on steroids 😆
I hate it because l can’t afford it!
6:20 ... nah the Tracer 9 GT is best part of a grand cheaper than the Tiger 900 GT Pro ...... the Tracer GT is £12.3K and the Tiger GT Pro is £13.2K. To go cheaper than the Tracer you'd have to get the base Tiger GT (no Pro) which is £11.5K but doesn't have as many bells n whistles as the Pro version (no quickshifter / heated seat / spotlights / electronic shock / 5th riding mode / TPS etc etc) 😉
Having owned a tracer and rode the tiger, only my opinion the tiger is the better bike. Great points though you do get more for less on the Yamaha. If you want long distance comfort though the Tiger wins
@@MOTOUK1 The yamaha ticks more boxes with it's luggage included as standard and also the semi active front and rear suspension .. it's an attractive package at a very competitive price ... I just really don't like the styling and looks of them, plus the dash board looks like Groucho Marx staring back at ya 😂 I've not ridden either yet but already I'm drawn more to the Tiger .... gonna book a test ride or two in the new year ...
Yes best ride both, I know what you mean re the dash! 😂 thanks for tuning in and stay tuned as the tiger sport 660 and Tiger 1200’s will be coming to the channel in early 2022 👍 have a good new year 🥂🍾🎉
I like the GT without the Pro's frippery. None of the Pro's extras are needed if you're being honest with yourself. The GT is still VERY well specified.
@@MrBenHaynes best value is the 850 sport I reviewed earlier. Even the new 660 is great value
