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❗️

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Lol, thanks for your kind words of encouragement, Ben. Much appreciated👍😊

[@0HARE]

I enjoyed this review tremendously, and learned a lot from it. The Honda TransAlp and the Triumph 900 Rally Pro are two of the bikes I have been considering for that “middle spot” in my bike stable. I currently have, and enjoy tremendously, a 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200xe, a 2006 Kawasaki KLR650 (my favorite bike ever), and a 2021 Honda CRF300Rally. Happy Trails!

[@ianhalliwell8604]

I've absolutely zero interest in this bike, yet i watched your video, as i always do, all the way through. Your breakdown on the pluses and minuses were fascinating and typical of your posts, that's why i like them so much.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, Ian. Comments like this make me want to produce more content :)

Tiger 800 XCA 2016 owner here, l tested the 900 GT Pro 2024 past weekend, 200km highway 200 twisty mountain roads.(Sadly no Rally Pro as a test vehicle in any Triumph dealer near me) My thoughts: 1. Stock exhaust is louder than expected, it wasn't that different than the Mivv l have on my 800. 2. TFT is not great takes too may clicks to do stuff just like you said, also turn signal is way too close to the directional button and have similar shape so l was signalling randomly way too many times. 3. My mirrors on 800 are useless between 5 and 6k rpm on the highway( could be due to knobby tires, bar raisers or upper crash bars because everyone praises how smooth the 800 is) no such vibrations at all on the 900 2024, but the first thing my passenger said "Oh this has more vibrations" go figure. 4. Stock pegs are a joke even on RP, they are almost half the size compared to 800 XCA. 5. Engine is on a different level, it's almost comparing apples to oranges. Still thinking if l should sell my bike and get a 24 but 18500 euros is a lot of money so probably will wait for end of summer to make a decision and see if they have any deals. Also my dealer told me there might be new colours coming up with 2025 models which shouldn't be that far away. Thank you for the detailed video

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Great input there and I agree with your comments👍😊

[@TheDarkness_92]

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!

[@boblynch7535]

I have a 22 GT Pro, 6000 miles or so. I’m in Idaho where there’s way more dirt than pavement. I’m a bit like you where I limit myself to maintained forest roads. Just turned 70 with multiple joint replacements so my days of adrenaline are over. I’ve been jonesing for the 24 Rally. Put my bike on the block and had zero response except for 3 scammers. Trade in was going to be $9000 and that didn’t make sense to me. So new tires. From Dunlop Trailmax Missions to Bridgestone AX41s. The first gens are still awesome rides. Here in the intermountain west we maintain pretty high speeds. When overtaking, I’m up over 100 before I know what’s happening. Maybe lacking a bit of character, but I can live with that. God knows what might happen if I had a bike with more character!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for your input👍😊

[@orangelion03]

Almost 70 myself. Mine came with AX41s and I had used them on my GS. Fantastic off road performance and surprisingly stable in the canyons. Regrettably, I burned through two rears in less than 3000 miles (I blame the quickshifter and lack of self control). Fantastic tire!!

I had a Triumph 1200 Speed Triple and I had a key fob that gave me multiple issues, believe me you don’t want one it’s just a liability and usually at most inopportune time. Also, I had a shot of software issues or gremlins that required dealer servicing and I was told by them that the Tiger was much worse. It’s a lovely bike but you better have a warranty on hand so get extended coverage if buying used.

@@paullee6663Excellent point , used to own a Honda CRF 300 rally a bike I miss , now I have a transalp 750 with 92 HP, but on back roads with a 21 inch wheel , don’t go much faster than the 300 with a 21 inch front wheel . The difference is the 300 was a capable off road bike even with soft stock suspension, the transalp is so unbalanced off road at low speeds .

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.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

[@federico54527]

Thank you for the well done review. I own an Aragon GT 2023 and have ridden 10k with it. For the locking there is a trick: after turning the engine off, push the key once once (do not keep it pushed), then twist the key to the left, slightly moving the handbar. Will lock easily. Regards and safe rides

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a try👍😊

[@aagetreffen]

I am still very pleased with mine after 5000 km. Triumph recomends dumping the preload on the rear shock when going offroad. This will increase the rake a bit. And it does make it more stable on soft surfaces. Although I usualy keep the preeload the same. It is stable enough for my level of offroading.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I have tried that 'trick' and I agree it does help a little :)

[@elithegreat6463]

Wow, I just bought a GT-Pro just yesterday 8/21 here in NJ and I did think the total mileage only on start up or shutdown on the 2023 model was odd, but as you stated, not anymore on the 24. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh well, it’s one of or the most comfortable bike I ever ridden , and enough power for anything. Every option , and the lighted switchgear is a soft red glow that easily read at night. Fit and finish is amazing, it starts with a key, and so far, I’m happy 👍🇬🇧

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, the invisible odometer is stupid, but doesn’t detract from an otherwise superb bike. Enjoy👍😊

[@Gamlinger]

Glad you enjoy your new bike. I just got a new Transalp and Im very happy with it. Great videos. Informative, relaxing and interesting.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. I really enjoyed running my Transalp last year. Very nice bike, the Tiger is much heavier😊

[@AF-O6]

I’ve owned a 900GT for three years and really like it…but really desiring a companion Triumph Twin. They are pretty to look at, and there’s just something special about a simple bike…at least for us nostalgic old guys.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Completely agree😉

[@steveparish9210]

Nice review, the lack of protection of rear shock was pretty bad, don't know how triumph missed that. The key thing hmmm. Glad yr enjoying yr bike RM

Thanks, Steve. It’s a very nice bike to ride. Pity they couldn’t iron out those minor problems

[@Martin-e1b9c]

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.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for the info about the Puig deflectors. I'll take a look but fear they may not be compatible with my Barkbuster handguards (which are made in Australia - shout out!). I will probably go for some road tyres when it comes time to swap, although I never ride in the wet. Thanks for your input :)

[@DJMocha10]

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!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks👍😊

[@tompGA]

Have a 24 GT Pro and agree that the engine heat is minimal with riding pants/jeans and my knees are right at the opening. On the windshield, consider adding a Puig spoiler to the top as it makes a big difference in airflow over the helmet. I like the added air on my shoulders here in the deep south of the US. I also added Pivot Pegs as I found the stock pegs too small for my feet. I do not fault the bike as these are ergo changes I have to make on all bikes given my 6'3" frame with long arms and legs.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

The reference I bought was SW-KFT.11.953.30000/B. Hope this helps.

[@MaxOConner-zg4gi]

You are quite right to highlight your niggles but all these shortcomings are easily customizable. My '24 Gt Pro is simply the best bike, for me, I've ever owned. Try the Puig extra large side wind deflectors, put a hugger on, get over the odometer and moving warning light and just turn on the bike whilst putting your gloves on!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Extra large wind deflectors? Not seen those. Do you have a link?

[@brucerossonthetube]

I was never a fan of keyless bikes, and a buddies KTM proved to me why. We were 4 hours from home and the proximity key software picked up a glitch leaving the bike dead. Fortunately, we were not 4 hours deep in the bush like were the previous day but in a parking lot. After shipping the bike home the issue was resolved at the dealer with a simple software reflash. A major inconvenience from a "solution" that had no problem.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I know that keyless does have its problems, but I still prefer it. Thanks for sharing😊👍

[@tonyjourneyman1944]

Nice review, there's always something. I was prepared to be unhappy with my new Transalp suspension, but in the end its perfectly good enough for me. My niggle at the moment is that since the 500klm mark my speedo lit up with a bright orange bar saying that the service is due in another 500 klm. Then this 500klm becomes, 400, 300, 200 100. without any obvious way to see exactly how many klms you have actually done. Right now all I know is that I've done somewhere between 900 and 1000 klms. Seems like a daft idea to me since my brain is capable of recognizing exactly how close I am to the 1000 klm point at any time if the klms were simply displayed on the speedo.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

As you say, there's always something. I agree about the Transalp's suspension, never had a problem with it and actually enjoyed the super plush feel. Thanks for your input :)

[@ChipZilla69]

I own the 2023 GT Pro and can testify it's an amazing bike. I'm glad you brought up the steering lock issue i thought it was just me. Oh yes and having to take my tank bag off to access the key is annoying. The vibes aren't bad like some people say and it's gives the bike character when you start pushing on. Screen mode 4 is the best.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

No screen modes on the 2024. Just a cheap ignition barrel😟

[@MaxOConner-zg4gi]

Just a thought but I remounted the quick release mechanism on my GIVI tank bag to move it back a couple inches. Makes a big difference.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, tweaking helps. But why can’t we just have keyless like on my €6,000 Honda scooter?😩

[@muttineni03]

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

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. It is expensive, but it’s very nice to ride (despite the niggles I highlighted). Thanks for your input👍😊

[@TheSloppiestJoe]

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!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Lol, and red is good for an extra 5hp👍😊

[@edxr250r]

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👍

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for your input. I agree with all your points. The 2024 offers palpable improvements over the first gen. Still not perfect, but what bike is?👍😊

[@robertbarker7539]

I've got a 2022 Tiger Sport 850, so some of your niggles I can relate to. First thing I did was put an MRA screen on it, which is slightly lower but wider than the stock one. It has improved things slightly, but still not perfect. You can get deflectors to fit into the fairing radiator ducts, to deflect the hot air away from your knees. I've not tried them yet, but I'll see how I feel after it gets a bit hotter here in the coming weeks. I do enjoy the bike, but the vibrations are a bit annoying also. I'm not sure what I can do about that. Anyway, great review as always. 👍

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, Robert. Those deflectors aren’t compatible with the 2024 model, unfortunately🙁

[@AdamClaridge]

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......

[@RocketMan_Moto]

The Tiger would be a very nice step up from the CB500X. If you're tall enough, then absolutely go for the Rally. Handling is just as good as the GT 99% of the time, it looks better and the suspension is more comfortable.

I was ready to buy this bike until I found out I would have to take it back to the dealership to turn off the Service Light...I could overlook the quirks (thanks for pointing them out) if I wasn't forced to drive an hour to the dealership just to turn off a Service Light.

[@pont0n]

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.

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.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. I can’t say I’ve had a problem with the anti-stall. I have it on my van, though, so maybe I’m just used to it?

[@tomrohan8480]

Like your previous video on why you gave your ST 1200 for T900RP, I'm still with you.. The doubt at 17:05 on whether the engrs tweaked the engine, only way to find out is whether you feel that much vibration on your foot pegs and the inner side of the leg hugging the tank.. if yes then the tweak is a ???.. if the vibrations are minimum then they did their magic.. Happy miles From 🇮🇳 India

Thanks for the review. I recently purchased the 2024 Tiger 900 GTPro, which I had fitted with the original Triumph top & lower crash bars. It was pointed out to me however that the lower crash bar is bolted to the engine & was warned that it could seriously damage the engine in a crash, instead of protecting it. Could you comment on this, please? Please keep making your videos, I like the thorough and calm manner of presentation best. Cheers!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. The idea of damaging the bike because of a design flaw doesn’t really worry me. Warranties are there for that. However, causing damage through the use of third-party add-ons is another matter entirely…

[@armandomorales5857]

Rocketman, Love your review ! I've been lusting over the triumph twin engine sound, either from speed twin 1200, or maybe the 900, I have doubts I can use it as much as my tiger 900 gt pro, your review gives me pause. Here is a long opinion of my Tiger 900 Gt Pro... I own a 2021 Tiger 900 GT Pro, which now has 50,000 km on it. I've ridden it mostly without luggage, except for a few trips where I did carry some luggage, always solo. Before this, I owned a Suzuki V-Strom 650. Some comments: Key Lock: Engaging the key lock can be a pain. I find that pushing the key down while turning the handlebar to the left helps, but it requires coordination. Tank Bag: Reaching the key with a tank bag in place is frustrating. Handlebar Vibration: There is always some vibration at highway speeds, though the cruise control is a big help. Seat Comfort: The previous version of the seat can become uncomfortable after just a couple of hours, depending on the pants I'm wearing. With heavier riding pants, it's more bearable. Tachometer Graphics: The tachometer graphics are difficult to read, and it is very slow to start up. Seat Reattachment: Reattaching the seat requires patience and practice to get it right. Sidewinds: My GT is very stable in side winds. While I can feel my head being pushed sideways, the bike remains stable, which is 1000% better than the V-Strom. Engine Heat: I bought deflectors from AliExpress, which do a decent job. I only feel the heat at slow speeds. Performance: With its 95 hp, the GT can keep up with the larger 1250 GS that most of my riding buddies own, even on spirited highway rides. Height and Stability: The GT's height suits me well, allowing me to prevent drops at low speeds even if I make a mistake. The V-Strom was much less forgiving and ended up on the ground many times. Rear Shock Protection: I added a piece of rubber behind the rear shock to prevent debris from being thrown up by the rear wheel. Fork Service: I recently had the forks serviced, and now the ride is very nice and stable on twisty roads. Future Plans: I'm considering reflashing the ECU to remove the 80% max throttle limit at high RPMs, which will likely make me keep the bike a bit longer.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Great input there. Thanks👍 The Speed Twin was a ‘beautiful machine’, but waaay less use than the Tiger

[@chrisbeale9022]

Be careful if fitting a Givi tank bag ring. The plastic housing at the front of the tank prevents the tank bag from full locking onto the ring and the bag can pop off unexpectedly. I solved this by printing a 3mm spacer to raise the ring and allow the bag to lock into place securely. My concern now is that the sharp corners of the gap in the ring, which has to be there to allow the filler cap to open, sit well above the tank and threaten my gonads in the event of a frontal collision. I’ve ground the edge off them but you can’t remove much without compromising the locking circumference.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for sharing, Chris. I always use SW Motech bags, but definitely worth knowing for those going with Givi👍😊

[@PJ_303]

Thanks for you another honest review. As a long time viewer and have to say your opinions resonated a lot with my experiences (as ex-owner of cb500x :) ). I decided to go with gt-pro since road is my home in 99 percent of cases and if any gravel will appear, gt will handle it as well (with proper tires fitted). One question for you - how you manged to fit those SW pro side carries on this 24 model? Do you have SW SKU Number? (there are in total 3 different variants for Tiger 900, sku number ending 000, 001 and 002) SW motech official offer of accessories for latest model is still rather sparse and upon contacting them via mail, their response is "we have motorbike in our warehouse and do test fittings, stay tuned"... I'm "tuned" for 3 weeks now and nothing happened :D

[@andrewshore262]

Interesting review, I own a ‘22 1200 GT Pro and you’re right they’re pigs when you have to pull ‘em up onto the centre stand or manoeuvre them around in tight spaces. The spotlight on warning light travelling around the dash I found quite funny (guess the location depending on what’s being used) which gets even more complicated when the electronic suspension lowering option is used lol. The dash could be better, but it’s a bit of a non issue once you’ve become accustomed to it, and Triumph did in their wisdom fit rear shock mud protection on the bigger bike. I changed the screen (same issue a bit narrow) to a WRS unit, and changed the screen winglets for Puig units, the seat units aren’t the best and appear to be identical in their fit if not shape (the updated 24 1200 has a seat closer in shape to yours), the rubber bungs that locate into the bike have worn on mine which allows the seat to rock to and fro - warranty will take care of that. The 1200 also suffers from clutch issues, dash issues (failures), although mine has been ok on both counts so far.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, the negatives I highlighted are far outweighed by the plus points. The wandering warning lights, for example, aren’t that bad, it’s just silly and unnecessary. Thanks for your input👍😊

[@glennpowell4174]

You mention that you use the odometer to see where you are in the break in period and getting to see the odometer is onerous, While in the break in period if you pay attention to the RPM tachometer it actually adjusts the RPM range it wants you to stay in during the different break in areas (RPM ranges at different mileages) the needle sweeps and the tack turns red at the point where it wants you to stay under. As you complete the mileages required the tach raises the redline. The bike will certainly allow the higher revs so you have to be careful.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

That's quite true, the rev counter does adjust, but I still need the odometer to know how many miles I've got to go before the next rev band becomes available ;)

[@kevinroberts2395]

Great review. Watching from here in Australia, so interested in the heat from the radiator. I'm not really interested in the off-road side, so the GT Pro is on my radar. Currently on a BMW R1200RS but looking for that bit more leg room as I get older. I am also disappointed when manufacturers skimp on a few cents during manufacturing in order to make a significantly better offering on the finished product. Makes no sense to me. Love your work.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, Kevin. I’m very happy with the Tiger, it just does everything I want😊

[@joaochantre4160]

On the previous generation we can default the mileage on the panel by activating "service interval" on the "screen options". It'll show up by swiping on the TPMS screen. It might be the same on the 2024 model. Unfortunately the 2024 model i tested made more heat to the knees than my RP2021 does. Main reason why didn't bought it.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Strange, I find the heat better on the 2024

Great to see that you are content with your decision on trading ST & TA for Tiger. About the negatives, luckily there are a lot of aftermarket accessories that could help, but concerning the seat... even on my NX it is a bit anoying to put it back in place - can imagine what sort of trouble I would have on Tiger :-) Have fun!

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

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!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Glad you enjoy my videos. I run an online business. Been here 6 years now. Thanks for your input👍😊

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! Those are some niggles. My GS has those gaps on the seat as well. And it really pisses me off. I may go after market seat just to get that fixed. The odometer issue is worrisome. I don't know what their logic is here. There are many positives however. Beautiful bike for sure. Best!

Just about sums it up: great bike with unnecessary flaws🤷‍♂️ Thanks for your input😊👍

[@rickp9946]

Interesting as always. Thanks! i have the 2024 GT Pro and share some of the frustrations - the main one being the screen. I'm 5ft 10", around 178cm I think, and the screen makes my ears very uncomfortable. It's almost as if the screen is throwing turbulent air straight at the lower sides of the helmet. I had a couple of reasonably brief test rides before buying the bike where it didn't seem "too bad" but after a couple of hours it becomes deeply unpleasant. So I'm on the lookout for a replacement one. If I can't address the issue then I'll have to sell the bike - it's that unpleasant. It's a shame as I love more or less everything else about the thing. BTW, you appear to have connected your phone to the Tiger so you maybe able to get the odomoter reading on the Triumph app. Roll on Triumph catching up and having Car Play/Auto instead of their clunky connectivity is all I can say on the dash - although it's a lot better than nothing.

Yes, the app does display the mileage, but only if it connects properly. Which, of course, it doesn't always do :(

Nicely commented. When I had the F750GS, which I considered very comfortable and "stately" for riding, one thing that I didn't find pleasant was the sound of the engine when standing next to the idling bike - it was loud, too much for my sensitive hearing. How is your Tiger in this regard? I know what your next bike will be (in not even six months) - a Vespa 300 GTS 🙂

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Haha, I already have a Honda ADV350, so why not. I had a BMW F900XR a few years ago and that made a terrible racket on start-up. The Tiger is much nicer in that respect😊

[@BlueAlgon]

⁠Good to hear. Thx

[@starseeddeluxe]

Two things have stopped me from wanting to buy the beautiful Triumph Tiger series: 1.) Too low of gear ratio, and no way to change the final drive to reduce engine RPM's for 75mph cruising. 2.) The new T-Plane crankshaft, which no longer provides the same triple sound and smoothness. But, the Triumph Tiger bikes are some of the best looking motorcycles in the world, and are a masterpiece of engineering in their own right. I might still consider getting one anyway!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Agree with 2, but can’t say I have a problem with 1. Thanks for your input 👍😊

I fitted a 17 tooth front sprocket to reduce the engine speed at touring speeds, much better when combined with bar end weights to reduce vibration.

I have a '24 900RP bought in February, and have done about 6500km. To my great shock and surprise, last Sunday a rear spoke broke and became entangled in the rear brake disk and calliper. A fellow rider did some web searches and has come across a few anecdotal mentions of the issue of rear, sprocket side spokes breaking on the 900RP. I do NOT ride it like an MX or hard enduro bike! No rim deformation. I was wondering @Rocketman if you were aware of the issue and had done some research. I hope this doesn't happen to you.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks for sharing that, Duncan. It hasn’t happened to me (yet!), but I know it can be an issue with spoked wheels in general. I was watching a Big Rock Moto video just the other day where he was saying how much he dislikes spokes for that very reason. Did your dealer repair the damage under warranty?

Really appreciate your videos and reviews. Quick question, since you have the Tiger 900 and tried the Tiger 660: do you think the Tiger 850 is much better than the Tiger 660? (considering that the tiger 850 is the same platform and engine as the 900, but more road focused wheels and tyres and without cruise control, heated grips, handguards, smaller display...etc.). My question is more regarding of comfort (rider and pillion), wind protection, engine, dynamics, riding "satisfaction". Not planning to do offroad, just commute and weekend 2/3 day travel.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

The 660 is a great road bike, but the 850 is much ‘meatier’ and can take you off road as well. I prefer the 850/900😊

I’m looking for mostly adventure road bike, maybe occasionally gravel or fire roads but nothing extreme. I know that Tiger GT Pro will be better choice but I like the look of Rally Pro. What would you choose or advice? Tiger RP is about €2300 cheaper than Honda, has slightly more power, but on the other side ATAS has more torque and has semi active suspension. Any advice please???😢

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Well, I’m a Honda and Triumph fanboy, but I discounted the Africa Twin quite early in my research: it’s a very big motorcycle, top heavy, feels much less sporty than the Tiger and has terrible switchgear and dash. The Tiger was a clear winner for me, despite the niggles😊

A very insightful look at your Triumph, no bike is perfect, I think the lack of an easy to read odometer is well odd, but not the end of the world, as far as the seat gap, is it more the black section of the tank is not quite right rather than the seat, which I have to say looks plush. Are you going to the ABR festival, if so no one will recognise you, that must be quite fun.

Incidentally, would love to know how you find the SW Motech cases and "pro" mounts. Do those carriers quick-release?

[@clarkstreetcustoms]

Triumph do a low seat for the 2024 Rally Pro which brings the seat height down from 860-880mm to 840-860mm which I have on my RP. This makes it manageable for us shorties! I am 170mm and while I am not completely flat footed, it is very close.

[@auscurrymaster]

@@clarkstreetcustoms thank you for that - yes, was aware. That would make the low position with that seat the same as the high position with standard GT Pro seat...which I can juuussst about cope with. However, it's not hard to imagine that there would be compromise with seat padding/comfort, bearing in mind I'm not just a short-arse but also a 67 yr-old short-arse 😅

@@clarkstreetcustoms sorry - I just reread your post and noted that you have a low seat; what's it like, comfort-wise?

@@auscurrymaster I have found it comfortable. Haven’t put the original seat back on to compare but haven’t had any issues comfort wise with the low seat. Also, I set the rear suspension sag to 80mm (1/3 of the 230mm available) and that makes a big difference. This is 6 clicks on the preload for my weight with all my gear on (80 kgs). Actual seat height depends on the sag you set. This detail seems to get lost when we talk about seat height!

Ask your dealer to try sitting on the bike with the rear preload in the full “soft” position. You might be pleasantly surprised. Hope that is helpful.
