    You'll get the scoop on the cons and pros (there are a lot) of this bike. Check it out!

    As the owner of a 2023 GT Pro (in white), I agree with most of what you said. I don't have any issues raising or lowering the windscreen while riding. However, I don't think the seat is all that comfortable--everyone's posterior is different, I know. I don't want to buy an aftermarket seat due to losing the heat, so I've ordered a gel pad to try. In my 55 years of riding all types of motorcycles from just about every manufacturer, my Triumph may be the best bike I've ever owned (so far). Good video. Ride safe.

    Thanks for a great real life report. I have had my gt pro for 2 years but only done 9000 miles. However, the weather is so variable in the UK, the bike is almost always covered in muck! I have only had a faulty heated grip so far. My mine doesn't use any oil between services. It does seem yours uses a lot. My 800 didn't burn any either. I also agree about the Bluetooth being flakey! All in all, though, a better bike than the 800, and easier to put on the centre stand. I also find the vibration is less of an issue on the 900. The 800 was a bit buzzy.. well done you!

    Great review. I've had mine for two years, and lots of long distance trips. Get a GIVI touring screen. It's too big, but great for cold weather. Put Grip Puppies on the grips. Still gets plenty hot, and gives a little vibration protection.
    And yes the GoPro integration is cool, when it works. It's one of my biggest frustrations.
    Seat wasn't great for me, I got a Sargeant aftermarket. It has a cutout for man parts that I appreciate.
    Quick shifter is brilliant. I thought I would never us it, but now I love it. Look at the Tutoro chain oiler as well. Makes it fantastic for long trips not having to check the chain. 18,000 miles on first chain.
    You didn't mention the front end being adjustable for dampening and rebound. The stock setting dipped too much for me, but you can adjust it pretty easily.
    I replaced the plastic handguards with Bark Busters, no more problems with drops.
    The 12k service is stupid expensive. Triumph should update the engine to use hydraulic lifters so they don't need to do those port checks. For me the price is about $2k. After 5 of them I will have more in the maintenance checks than the price of the bike! It's the one reason why I probably won't buy another Tiger.

    Excellent review! I'm in the market for a new bike an the GT Pro is probably top of the list. I've seen plenty of reviews and spent some time on the forums trying to get a feel for what to expect. Seems to have been a few common issues regards fuelling, minor electrical niggles and the quality of some parts, but no more so than other bikes in the same price range. Could be some owners have had 'friday night' bikes, while others report no problems whatsoever. Vibrations through the bars & pegs was another reported complaint but I'm wondering whether this is more to do with reviewers testing demo bikes with relatively few miles. Having said that, Triumph have fitted elastomer bushes in the bar risers on the 2024 model, so at least they've been listening. Still a bit pricey for me so will be a while before I take the plunge

      Vibrations are very strong in high revs. I road demo bike on Fri for a couple of hours and wanted to see test vibrations. They basically almost don't exist on lower RPMs. I don't remember the RMPs number where it starts, but they start to appear about 120-125km/h (80-85 mph). If one rides slower RPMs than required for this speed, there will be no vibrations.
      Also, internet says that Sport mode gives lower vibrations.
      If you redline the bike, you will feel vibrations very clearly and strongly, even the seat vibrates. But I don't mind that as long as I can cruise without them.

    None of my valves were out of spec at 12000 miles. However, 2 of the exhaust valves were close to the lower limit. I will be doing the 24000 mile service this winter. It took me two days to complete it last time. But, I really took my time to thoroughly clean everything and measure valve clearance several times just to be sure.

    I'm not sure what diificulty you're having with the windscreen. I simply reach out and grab the bar to raise or lower it. Perhaps the tracks on yours needs a shot of lubricant(?)
    The Bluetooth connectivity on the Tigers can be dependent on the phone you have. There's a list you can look up to see if your phone has been "tested". Even at that, it can be as problematic as Ducati and BMW. Using the Zumo is certainly an alternative, but of course you lose the convenience of the joystick.
    I agree on the grips. After 6 months, my grips look like they're 5 years old. I usually throw a cover over my bike too, to minimize UV damage...to anything.

Enfield Scram411 or depending when they come available, the Triumph 400 Speed or 400x scrambler. What were some of your first bikes, or did you start on the Tiger?

Heck, I dropped mine this year. 😆 The point is, once you've got your sea legs again, then get the bike you're dreaming of. The ones you listed would all be good to start riding again! A lower cc is much more forgiving and makes you learn your skills.

    I fitted Puig Upper Deflectors 20420H for the smoke colour. These replace the wings either side of the wind screen. They are larger than original and push more air around the rider. Our Tigers in Australia come fitted with Tourance Next tyres. They are rubbish in the wet. I fit Michelin Road 6 so much better. Do you use the Offrode mode when offroad? It will back the rear preload right off lowering the bike making it much more controllable on loose surface as well as dulling the throttle response for rough roads.

They’re not any louder than the stock tires we’re at highway speeds.

    Question: when you noticed better MPG after a valve service did they confirm valves needed to be adjusted . Its rare triumph need any valve adjusting until maybe the 36k service . A new air filter and clean oil will improve MPG.
    saying that you done 40K and in a year wow that's impressive traveling . wish I had the time and lived in country that had the space to that .I live north UK have to get to France to travel across Europe if want to do any long touring .

    • @Czeching_Out_America

      Yes, they were off when they did the check. I believe the air filter was a different service interval than that particular check. I'm not always able to hit the service intervals spot on, so sometimes things get done earlier or later than the all at once sequence.

    Like ABS, an electronically adjustable windscreen (if it has one) should be standard on every bike. It's not that complicated and raises the comfort by a mile. That alone makes me stick to my dull Burgman 650. I guess most people that design motorbikes don't have a driver license themself.

    I test rode a 900 GT and just loved it....BUT I did notice heat coming from the left side of the engine by the seat and also coming out of the radiator vents onto my legs. Have you had any issues with the cockpit and/or your legs getting hot? I rode it for about 15 mins and the temperature was only 66 degrees F. I then let the bike run for a couple minutes to simulate stop and go traffic and there was definite heat. Online it seems like some people are having unbearable heat and others are not, so I'm waffling.

      I'm not experiencing any problems with the heat. When it's really cold out (30's to 50's), I can feel a pleasant warmth at times, but out in the desert heat and general hot summer weather, it didn't add any more heat than other bikes I've ridden. Not nearly like some I've ridden.

    Does it remember pre-load settings after switching the bike off and turning it on again? I saw another video that the only real complaint about the bike was after each fuel stop a person needed to set preload settings again, because he was riding with a passenger and luggage.

    Good review. I am curious how many miles you are getting on a set of tires - especially the originals. I love my Dunlop Trailmax Missions which is what I will put on when the original tires are done. They are durable and great off-road. Only complaint I have is my grips don't seem to get hot enough. The Tiger 800 was much better.
    The bike is much more balanced than the 800 and has better low end torque. I have not had any issues off-road, but I do wish it had a 21" front wheel like the Rally.

    • @Czeching_Out_America
      @Czeching_Out_America  Před 7 měsíci

      I thought I mentioned tire life. It's from 10k-13k per rear. I normally get 1 front for every 2 rear.

    I was thinking that grips on demo bike looked odd, like not clean. Now with your review, it's clear why. They just low quality and get worn out very quickly. And surely, demo bike doesn't have even 10k on it, and they already look worn out. So, they look like that probably just due time, not even really through use.

      I recommend you call your local dealership for an estimate. Prices vary depending on how much out of spec they are and the hourly rate for labor. It is also part of service intervals with other services included.
      I saw a difference of about $800 for the 12k service from one dealership to another.

    1 quart is almost 1 liter of oil. That's a lot of oil to burn! The oil capacity on oil change is just to add 3.15 liters. So, almost third of all oil is burned in just 6000 miles. This is crazy to that they consider that normal. This literally means one needs to be checking oil every day while on a trip and carry 1 liter of oil with them. This is very concerning.

    • @Czeching_Out_America
      @Czeching_Out_America  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I agree! However, I was assured by the mechanic at the dealership that this is expected usage and it is not critical until there is only 1 litre left. That is, according to the mechanic, a quote from Triumph.

      ​@@Czeching_Out_America actually I went a bit on search binge about this, after watching your video, because I'm at the moment trying to decide which bike to get and this one is at the top of my list. And this seemed very concerning.
      However, there are a lot of 900 owners saying the same thing about oil use (the same was also true with 800, I guess Triumph just builds them this way). Thus, it's pretty much indeed normal for this bike. Just a bit sad that one needs to carry a small bottle of oil on their travels (since space is always limited on the bike). My only use of the bike will be travel 1-3 months at the time.

    I have the Rally version. Very great review. I added T-Rex racing skid plate and upper and lower crash bars. Outback motorteck pannier rack which fit my mosko moto soft panniers, also Outback is developing hard sided panniers that works with mosko moto. The luggage rack is T-Rex also haven't found a top box I am impressed with as many are plastic. A Corbin seat and road lights. Hit a skunk at night and a deer but did drop the bike just broke a mirror, double take mirrors on ram mounts. Look for different windshield. Need a bike for my wife rides with. Wanted the new NT1100 but Honda will not import to the US it only for EU. The US dealer won't carry it as no market and may hurt the Very expensive Goldwing sales. There is a big market for the super sport bikes, who would ride one 300 miles. The Transalp is not a 2up touring bike and most reviews are compared with other and they are biased against honda always, if the bike was a tricycle the tricycle would win. This is the best honest motorcycle review. Thanks. 20k on mine. My true adventure bike is the CRF300L Rally, I shipped to the Philippines where we live.
