2020 Triumph Tiger 900 | First Ride Review

[@tonydare7614]

Just a quick update. Had my GT Pro for two weeks and can't think of anything I don't like about it. What has impressed me most is how good it is around town, even filtering through very dense traffic. It is a joy to ride in all conditions.

[@Englishbikerdan]

I've got the GT low at the moment from Triumph. Absolutely love riding it. Cracking machine although I'd definitely want the heated seats at the moment!

Tony, do you get any wind buffeting off screen.

Hi BritishBikerDan, I was the guy you chatted to on the Honda 250 Rally. I never did get that test ride on the Tiger 900 at Carl Rosner as the lockdown started that week. Thanks for showing me the TFT in all its glory.

[@Englishbikerdan]

Hey! Was good to meet you. Can't wait to get out again!

[@tonydare7614]

Nice review. I've just ordered mine in Paris and am really looking forward to receiving it mid-January. It does seem to be about the best all-round combination of a commuter/city, adventure, fun weekend bike on the market. I'll miss my Ducati Scrambler but I'm sure that the Triumph with happily take its place.

[@neilcole3406]

I thought the same as you Dan, one of the best bikes l have ever ridden!

[@dverser]

So..a year later I am watching your review mate, after going for a test drive on it. Great bike & I will be flipping my Honda CB650f for this :)

[@danebrewer10]

I absolutely adored the 800 I test rode, really confidence inspiring, comfortable, and that lovely smooth triple, I'm really looking forward to giving one of these a go

[@trekkydelirium-vroom5821]

Message to Triumph : “Triumph please offer us the Tiger 900 GT with tubeless spoked wheels; then a lot of riders (like me) would really be very interested in buying one. Why: Because a lot of riders prefer 19 inches front wheel to have more fun in twisty roads, because we prefer tubeless spoked wheels & because the Rally model is a little bit to tall for shorter riders. Best regards.”

[@Englishbikerdan]

On the GT the front wheel is 19 inches, just not spoked. Maybe if you ask a dealer they could get spoked wheels for you.

[@trekkydelirium-vroom5821]

EnglishBikerDan : thanks for reply, but Tiger 900 are already expensive bikes; it would be very expensive to buy 2 new spoked tubeless wheels as accessories; what would be nice is a cheap swap of wheels for the GT as a kind of cheap affordable option.

[@Englishbikerdan]

@@trekkydelirium-vroom5821 If spoked wheels are a must, just get the Rally version. Problem solved. ;)

[@paulh8849]

I was a bit torn between what I preferred in terms of the GT or the Rally. The GT is a very easy confident bike, to be fair the difference with the 21inch front of a rally made you work a little harder, but to be fair I may have given me a bit of a bigger smile!

[@chrishart8548]

Just like the older 800xr the cast wheel version makes very little sence. On the used market you cant give them away. Plus you get more groung clearance (corner angle) on the rally.

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

You are getting confused over what preload is for. It is not there to make the rear shock “stiff” or otherwise. It is to set where the shock sits in its stroke under different loads for optimum travel, both ways. If you want to “stiffen” the bike add more damping front and rear.

[@Englishbikerdan]

Absolutely, I've since understood what it actually does. Although to a simple person like me, twiddling the preload makes it feel stiffer. Ooer!

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

@@Englishbikerdan good stiff, er I mean good stuff!

[@jessep8281]

Quality content as always

[@tecprojex]

Good initial review. I quite fancy this new Tiger 900 and look forward to your longer review. Great vid production, I like your presentation style, slick and unfussy. Cheers

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Far more enthusiastic about this new Tiger than the 900XR I note. I will test ride both once global (!) circumstances improve - but for me the Triumph would be handier simply because the dealer's far closer.

[@Englishbikerdan]

It's an unfair comparison really as I was on the BMW on a lunch break and for less than an hour. I had the Tiger for about 4 hours on a day off. I actually like both bikes and would struggle to choose between them. I need to get on the 900XR again and for longer. Hoping to do that once I lockdown is lifted. 👍

[@Salva.S]

Hello, excellent review thanks for your time and the precision of your presentation. Quick request : If you have to make the choice between the new BMW F900XR and this Tiger GT Pro, what is your choice ? Best regards from Switzerland.

[@Englishbikerdan]

Tough to answer as both are good bikes. I only rode the F900XR for about an hour so I would definitely need more time on that before making a choice. I would say the BMW is more sports touring whereas the Triumph would be better adventure/long distance touring with a bigger tank and more room for rider/pillion. Pricewise the BMW seems cheaper at around £9,800 as stock until you start adding all the bits that the GT Pro already has. Once you add everything, the BMW gets to around £12,000. The Triumph GT Pro at this point is only an extra £800 with all the bells and whistles. I think it comes down to what sort of bike you want. The BMW to me feels much more sports touring focused than the Triumph but the Triumph is also way sportier than you would ever imagine from looking at it. I honestly don't know which I would choose right now as I like both!

[@gardeni]

Thanks, good intro. Look forward to a fuller review, hopefully, especially on the TFT functionality.

Excellent comprehensive review as always Dan. Sounds tempting!!!!!!

[@frankgrindrod1338]

Given the update to the engine, did you think the vibrations were excessive? Most reviews I have seen seem to take the view that it is, on balance, still a pretty smooth ride. Would appreciate your perspective on that.

[@Englishbikerdan]

I didn't think it was excessive. Felt smooth to me.

[@frankgrindrod1338]

@@Englishbikerdan thanks for the response. Really appreciate that. Props for making such great videos 👍

[@PhilWare1]

I couldn't get on with it. Coming from a Street Triple I felt the T-Plane crank lumpy and buzzy. Can't see the point in Triumph going down this route when the Triple is meant to offer the best of both worlds. They should have used a detuned Speed Triple engine like the old Tiger 1050 sport. Unless you are riding the Rally version I can't see the point of going off road on what is a "Road" focused bike so the T-Plane just seems daft.

[@KoffingAngels]

Good quality as per usual, keep up the good work m8, and stunning bike!

Have had test ride on rally pro and gt pro before lock down, waiting to be able to test ride Bmw f900xr.the tiger 900 seems a little bit bigger bike with more room for passenger . yes that engine is spot on more feel and character .and it pulls really well. needed more then 2 hours for test.

The ugly duckling turned into a swan, so I’m getting one for two up light touring. The luggage makes it a very practical bike. Not the best bike on the street but perhaps the most practical if I’m to keep just one bike.

[@booshallmighty]

I hear it's not as smooth as the old 800. Someone said they had to take a break after an hour because of the vibrations. This true?

[@Englishbikerdan]

Not as smooth no, but I haven't had any issues riding these for hours at a time.

[@hoojamaflicks]

hi Dan, nice work. that's my neck of the woods. which gopro model is that mounted to your helmet? and what settings are you using? video quality looks on point. the bike looks very nice.

[@PinlockRider]

Hello Dan, quick one: for commuting in and out the city 95% of the time with light touring on back end roads (couple of times a year) what would you choose: Tiger 900GT or the F900XR? Thanks 👍

[@akhyanshbohidar]

Any heating issues? Any reviews about GT Pro's off-road abilities?

[@SimonOnMyChannel]

Awesome - lovely to see local places to myself - love the Surrey hills.

[@sonnyfriberg3124]

Is the center stand easier to operate compared to 800 XR?

[@Roy_Godiksen]

The issues with the Tiger 900 GT (Pro) is wheel size and engine. A road bike that will never see offroad use don't need that T crank. It adds vibration and makes is less smooth. Add to the extremely limited tire choices and i'd rather get the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT. I tested both, one after the other and the Tracer is a better road bike. More sporty, better for long rides (although not as comfortable as the Tiger to ride) and more fun factor. If triumph made the GT (Pro) a 120/60-17 front and 160/55-17 or 180/50-17 rear, i would have bought one when i was looking at new bikes in May.

Hey mate, your reviews are just amazing. I have a 2020 honda cb500x (you helped me make that decision with your video). In relation to 1st gear fueling (cb500x being very much on/off) and parking lot on foot maneuvers and low speed maneuvers how does the tiger 900 compare to the cb500x in your experience (i feel that the cb500x is a bit top heavy and unstable on those two scenarios)? Thanks a bunch, keep up the amazing videos.

Great review, thanks for sharing. There are some oddities I can't really understand. Why do they make this big TFT dash and waste the space for this useless double rev animation ? And why do they go to this single-eyed double headlight ? Looks ugly to me and can't be compensated by the obviously great engine. So I'd rather go for the Africa Twin.

Great vid mate, recently had the pleasure of riding the gt Pro and was thoroughly impressed with it. Last years engine on the 800 was just a bit boring, the v twin character of this was a lot more engaging. Stay safe

[@Englishbikerdan]

Thanks mate, I've watched a few of your vids and I've always enjoyed what you do. I had last years for a good few weeks although over winter. Have to say it was a good bike but not engaging, more for comfort. The new one is a hoot though, really impressed in that new engine. Cheers! Dan

[@TommyBarnezTV]

@@Englishbikerdan ah cheers mate that means a lot. I'm a bit off an on with my vids due to work etc. I've always avoided watching other reviewers as I was worried I would end up saying the same things though going to start watching others once I've done mine. Having the 800 for a bit of time over winter would have been awesome with the heated seat! I only have bikes for a few hours at the moment and then with my v strom the rest of the time which doesn't have a heated seat so not as nice during winter months 😂

[@Englishbikerdan]

@@TommyBarnezTV Same here with work, I'd like to do a lot more but work is so busy sometimes. I always think that it's worth watching others for a different perspective and they might notice something that you don't or that you disagree with. End of the day, it's all the same stuff really so you just got to present your stuff in your own way and put yout stamp on it. Not teaching you to suck eggs, you clearly know what you're doing.

Whats your thoughts on Triumph moving production to China/India (Can't remember which one it was)

[@Englishbikerdan]

My gut feeling is I'd be a little concerned with QA issues but I think that's probably based on unfounded fears.

[@jordan436]

I believe production was moved to Thailand, where my 2014 Tiger 1200 Explorer was made. The build quality was fantastic, however, the quality of materials in some areas was disappointing. Within 3 years and 20,000 miles, the exhaust headers had corroded right through, costing nearly £1000 to replace as they could not be welded. The rear shock also collapsed at 40k which I guess isn't too bad, expecially as most of my riding was commuting into London. That said, it was an utterly fantastic bike and I wouldn't let the relocation of production put you off.

[@Englishbikerdan]

@@jordan436 Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@farmoboy83]

All this adventure bikes seems some big for daily use. I'm not a short skinny guy but for example, i feel perfectly fine with my sv650 but in a vstrom 650 i feel i'm riding a truck. Even nc750x feels a little weird...ok maybe i only like them nakex is true...

[@danebrewer10]

I'm not quite sure why there are so many throttle modes, I get rain, but the distinction between road and sport is a bit pointless imo, sport just feels like a cable throttle to me, unless you're riding super bumpy slow speed roads, where road mode might make sense, I'd be inclined to stick it in sport and leave it there, just use your wrist judiciously.....

[@Englishbikerdan]

I quite like the difference between Sport and Road. For me, Road was good for chilled riding or commuting and Sport was good for more spirited riding.

Am I really the only one who thinks the new Tiger sounds like a lawnmower now? I was looking at this for my next bike, but just for the sound I will probably go with the old Tiger 800. There are some sweet deals to be had on those now, so silver lining I guess... Great video though, as per usual. Keep em coming! =)

Hi Dan can I ask your honest advice please as I know you have riden a lot of bikes including the MT07. I am looking to move up from my Tracer 7 with the same CP2 engine. The reason i want to upgrade is that i often go out with my brother on his Africa Twin and although my Tracer 7 keeps up fine in town and on twisties we often go on long roads and carriageways and then the Tracer 7 struggles to keep up the the AT. I am currently considering Tiger 900 GT Pro, BMW 900 XR, Tracer 900 GT. Can you tell me what you think of these bike and how they compare in performance, comfort, handling etc. I am wanting to have more umph than my tracer 7 and need it to be comfy but also a little fun. Can i ask your honest opinion on my options and also how does this Tiger and my other options compare in performance to the likes of the MT07 and CB650R and will i feel a noticeable difference in power and keep up with the likes of the Africa Twin?

All these bikes are getting so expensive even a well kitted out 650 verseys would be more like the right sort of price.

[@paulneedham3608]

you can not compare verseys 650 has nice has it is to the tiger 900 . i have a versys 1000 . thing tiger may be a bit smaller .than my vereys 1000 but performace is not far behind. a lot lighter too.

@@paulneedham3608 I just mean on a price point. In most peoples minds the versys 650 price now over £7k soon too be £8k before long. That's what most people would expect to pay for 1000cc bike. The honda crf1100l adventure sports is a lovely bike but with the dct box it's loads of money.really doesn't seem justified

Chris Hart i think the new Tiger 900 with kit would cost about £14k

[@paulneedham3608]

@@petewebb6952 sadly new bikes nowadays with sort of tech will cost this sort of money. But there is lots of more realistic priced bikes . But you pay your money and take your choice. That's the beauty of it.
