60fps? what for?

Many years ago I learnt "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things". It works.

Hi, are the trunk/bag holders the same as the model 23?Do you use sw-motech? I can't find anything except the original and I don't want that one.thanks for the answer.

The radiator design...why oh why? Superb review from a rider owner perspective. Thank you.

"Low cost of ownership" I'm not sure how that applies more for the Honda instead of the CF Moto, tbh. Maybe if we only consider that because it is a Honda it won't require much servicing/fixing, but even that doesn't track for me because the CF Moto has a two-stroke and the NX500 has a four-stroke.

The display on the first generation Tiger has I think, been designed by a 3 year old child. Great review by the way

Thanks for a great video! I'll be visiting Portugal this September, riding from Belgium on a Husqvarna LR 701 enduro, doing a bit of easy gravel tracks along the way. Any suggestions on which parts of Portugal I should really visit or avoid? Thank you 😊 ❤

There must be a glitch in The Matrix, RocketMan has picked a cheap Chinese bike over the other 3. It was going to happen sooner or later. They're getting much better and the 'big 4' had better watch out, because they're coming after you.

Just considering this in a 2021 euro 4 version know you’ve sold yours will ride it over summer before deciding what’s needed before changing anything but seems like rear shocks would be top of list

Thanks for the information. This video was very helpful. I'm also considering replacing my well worn Shoei Neotec 1 with a Shoei Neotec 3. In your video, you mentioned sunglasses. Do you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses with your Neotec 3? If so, do the glasses fit OK in the helmet? Thanks again.

I don’t believe that I have ever used the terms “forensic investigator” & “motorcycle reviewer/critic” in the same sentence-until now…another EXTREMELY thorough & thoughtful evaluation of this Tiger 900. You have a gift for painting a detailed & lively picture through your “wordsmithing”…I will certainly nominate you for the Norman Rockwell Award of “Wordology”. Well done(once again), Detective Rocketman❗️

Brilliant review, i honestly think it's expensive compared to what it's offering, i would love to see your take on Suzuki 800de.

A really interesting an honest review of your experience with the bike to date - I can see how you've ended up with it. I test rode the first 900 Tiger GT Pro back in '21 and rode the revised version about a month ago. Overall it felt like a better bike but I still struggle a little to get my head around the engine which doesn't offer the 'thump' of a twin and isn't as smooth as a traditional Triple (I currently own a 1200GS and a Street Triple). The dash layout is much better than it was though and it seemed to vibrate less than it did when first released, I only wish they would revert to a conventional 120 degree crank as per the Street Triple and 660 engines as I feel that, for me at least, it would make sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts👍

Excellent job done .

Referencing your disappointment in the quality of the steering lock, ignition column, TFT: I've had quite a few motorcycles over the years and I've found that paying a lot of money for advanced features always leads to disappointment. Naturally, my expectations are higher when I pay a high price , but the bike never seems to meet the expectation that I have. The innovative features are never as useful as they are claimed to be (or I don't use them at all) or i find that corners are cut on the basics. So I dialed back from an expensive Euro bike that was in the top dollar range (R1200GS Rallye) and moved more into other bikes with significantly more value (Africa Twin Adventure Sports, Versys 1000) and I find that the expectations and the dollar price paid line up much better. Motorcycles are small and compact, generally, and manufacturers these days seem to be struggling to "innovate", and I feel that the consumer is left with high diminishing returns on premium bikes beyond a similar, more value-based alternative. I don't need to be the guy who is suckered into higher dollars for little return. Rocketman, I get the feeling that the premium of the 900 over your Transalp was worth it to you, but,...was it really? I'm wondering if the Suzuki Vstrom 800, Tracer 9GT, or Standard Africa Twin would have been better, less costly and less disappointing choices.

how dare you

I only rode the first-gen Tiger 900 and I was really underwhelmed. Need to try this new one but it seems to me that despite all the tech improvements, Triumph's popularity comes from huge investments in marketing.

Thank you for this. I currently have a CB500X which will tell you a lot about the amount of dirt I do - not much. I'm really looking for something bigger with cruise control for longer rides. Have always loved these bikes and have been tossing up between the Rally and the GT. This is making me lean more to the Rally if for no other reason than that I really do love the look of the green and white. Then, of course, there's always the Husky 901......

Great review. I have the previous generation 900 GT Pro. Yes, I agree with you about a rear hugger, even if it was an option. The only time a found issue with the radiator heat is when its above 35 deg C here in Australia. I fitted larger upper deflectors to mine from Puig, the fixed wings either side of the windscreen. They make a difference at higher speeds. Also, I fitted Road 6 tyres , they made a huge difference to the handling especially in the wet. I have used them on light off road situation and are Ok.

Thanks for the video. What is the phone holder that you are using?

I just made a comment in Portuguese, but then I realized that im not sure if you do speak portuguese (even worst, Brazilian portuguese), but i know that your wife is Brazilian, so u can ask her help if needed hehe Eu não sei porque eu gosto tanto dos seus vídeos, eu consigo pensar em vários outros "KZbinrs" que produzem vídeos mais """profissionais""" que você, que possuem um conhecimento técnico muito maior do que o seu. Mas quando eu procuro algo sobre uma moto e tem um vídeo seu, sempre é o primeiro ou segundo que eu vejo, e normalmente, o que eu mais gosto... Talvez seja pela simplicidade com que você faz o vídeo, só tentando explicar a sua opinião pessoal sobre a moto, sem a ambição de convencer ninguém... Seus vídeos parecem mais com as conversas que tenho com amigos motociclistas do que com um review de um ""KZbinr profissional"""". De qualquer maneira, parabéns pelo trabalho! (U can reply in English if u prefer, just made the comment in portuguese to change the things up a little bit)

The IMU has nothing to do with the self canceling indicators. They are deactivated after 8 seconds and 65 meters of distance travelled.

“It’s a keeper “ - famous last words!

I'm approaching 2000km on my 24 GT Pro, and I agree with a lot of what you said here: your summary of the heat vs pants is spot on, exactly my experience. The start up speed of the dash is a bit slow, and the location of the odometer in the menus a bit frustrating, but in the first case I've gotten used to it and in the 2nd I think it's more frustrating during the break-in period but after you get past that, not so much. I also find the steering lock mechanism a bit finaglely, though not to the extent you described. Wind protection is decent but as you said too narrow (I'm 184cm) and I'm considering options to improve that. What I very much disagree with though, is the looks - nothing beats the GT Pro in that lovely red/almost ruby color :). If you're ever out towards the east of Spain get in touch and we can compare bikes in person!

Please post a 📍 for the shrine

Hi RocketMan, I like your videos. I’m a Portuguese guy living in Holland and looking at the clear blue skies in your videos is always heart warming :) I’m interested to know, how you ended up living in Portugal, what you do for a living and how do you find living in Portugal is, after all the while you’ve been there. Sorry if my question is too out of scope. You are free to ignore it, of course. Btw, you think Portugal is windy? You should try Holland 😅 My motorbike (bmw k1300r) weighing 250kg, parked on the side stand, was flipped over by the wind here 😮 I bought it second hand, in Portugal. Now after 9 years with it, I’m looking for a nice “next chapter” bike. Cheers. Keep up the nice videos!

Try leaving the bike in sports mode to get rid of the vibrations through the handlebars. I left my tiger 900 in sports mode permanently for that reason

Nice review...Touched most issues I would nag about. I have around ~600km right now on my Rally Pro. One thing I would say you missed (or perhaps I am not a good enough/used enough driver) is the anti-stall making taking-off and low speed maneuvers to be a hassle. I will try reconfiguring the clutch moving the friction zone closer to my hand and see how things go.

It’s the same display and software than the Speed Triple 1200RS. It’s embarrassingly bad. Street Triple is better in this regard.

The Japanese showed the World how to Mass produce Motorcycles no other Country has ever Quite 'Got there'.

Interesting thought on Tiger 1200. I concluded similar after doing test rides of both Tigers 900, Vstrom 1050 DE, Africa Twin to replace my Tuareg 660. I was looking for more power, but turned out more power and better brakes are not enough to justify couple thousand euros price increase over Tuareg. Except power and brakes, it doesn't miss anything those bikes collectively have.

Always enjoy your reviews and comments. I own a 21 RP. Bought used in October 22 with only 1600 miles. Due to some health issues I was not able to ride it as I had my BMWs over the past 15 years, but I was in love from the start. I just returned from my first multi-day trip on it...a series of 200-250 mile days in Northern California coastal mountain regions with a mix of road conditions from high speed twisties to rough two-track. It was phenomenal. Currently running Missions, but with the AX41s i came with it was fantastic off road. Three things I have done that significantly improved ergonomics for ME (YMMV): 1. SW-Motech Ion pegs (about an inch lower than stock at their lowest settings). I'm 6' with 33, can flat-foot with the seat in highest position and rear preload adjusted to lower the bike. The pegs open the rider triangle up and reduced the knee bend. 2. Replaced the Rally handlebars with a set from a GT. Same width and height, but slightly more pull back angle matching that of my GS and GSA, much better wrist angle for me. 3. Givi Sport Tour screen for GT (D6415S). HUGE improvement over stock. Will not fit if using Rally bars. With my GT bars, DoubleTake mirrors, and Barkbusters, it still clears in all screen and handlebar angles (I rotate my bars up when I know I will be riding more than a few miles off road) Edit: I'm good for only about 100 miles on the seat. I may eventually commit to a custom seat (as on my BMWs) but for now a real sheepskin fleece suits me well enough for a long day on the saddle. Most of the buzzing in my bike was cured by replacing the OEM upper and lower protection bars with a set from Akurat.

Great review thanks. Will be picking up a new 24 RP in Thailand next week. My only concern is the heat from the radiators as I'll be constantly riding in hot weather. Hopefully it won't be too bad 🤞🏻

I have the 24 rally pro, 5000km I dunno why, but I just don't love it. I hate the seat, the rest I dunno it's good I just don't gel with it and am debating on trading it in after only 2 months

I think it all in all the tigers mostly a road bike. Nobody’s gonna take that out and beat it up off-road. It doesn’t have the right geometry anyway. So I think they sell a lot more if they weren’t so overpriced there’s a lot of other options way better they are more focused.

So changing the suspension to somewhere in the recommended off road suspension settings make the bike QUITE a bit more agreeable off road. I’ve been running the “on-road comfort” suspension settings and it’s been great in everything I’m capable of throwing at it. Great video!

God I wish the white Transalp was available in the US. So much slicker looking 😢

I'm stuck on picking between the 900 and 1200.. There's something in the 900 that speaks to my soul, I also love the modern retro speedometer A LOT, but I am afraid I'll want more power..

Seems like seats are a pain on many models. The Transalp is also very difficult to locate back into the correct postion as I'm sure you remember. However, at least it looks right once located.

In my experience bark busters can cause vibes due to not mimicking stock bar end weights, might be worth trying the added weight accessories to further reduce vibrations

A few short comings, but also poor off road manners? I’ll pass. Very good review though. Keep it up.

In the USA that GPS tracker would get used to spy on people by always knowing where they are, which is contrary to our privacy laws. That is probably why you can't find information about it in English. I know that is why an AirTag will always tell a person if one is "moving with them", and therefore sucks at catching thieves.

Hi had a test ride on 900 gt pro loved the look of the bike pros engine and gearbox and brakes brilliant. Cons awful wind protection bad handling not wanting to turn in and heated grips useless. Got back on my 950 multistrada heated grips nice and hot and was shocked at the difference in handling the ducati is miles better but the bars on the multistrada are definitely wider could that be what makes it quicker steering 🤔

Nice review. Made about 2000km's on my 24' GT Pro and it is one of the best allrounder bikes out there. It is a keeper for sure!

I find the mounting of the seat (in the low position) on my '24 Tiger 900 Rally Pro not that solid; if I sit on the bike and "walk" it backwards with my legs I feel some movement of the seat and hear some crunching noises. Not a dealbreaker but not as solid as the seat of my R1250RT.

Thank you for yet another great review. And those last comments at the end, wow....how i feel the same, about many of those "wantings" haha Thank you sir!

Came very close to replacing my Transalp with a new 900 GT Pro, ultimately ended up going with a 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports, came down to the looks/ bigger gas tank.

Methinks Triumph should seriously note your review and even sign you up as a tester RM..Atb..Alan..

I got delivery of my Grey MT450 in Lahore, Pakistan just last week. It feels "just right"
