Good review of this tiger and triumph are doing so well with this highly rated model. I’ve downsized from a r1250gs to a gt pro because of a back injury early 21 and enjoying how light and easy to ride. The ride is extremely good perhaps not on a par with the gs but I’m loving it. It was £4000 cheaper than a replacement gs and can highly recommend it to us older bikers who need something a little lighter. Just want to get abroad this year. Happy new year and stay safe.

Add a set of hand-guards to eliminate wind on the hands - it helps a lot. I have a 2020 Tiger 1200 SE Desert Edition which I think is XCA - not sure. Anyway, it's the trail biased one with wire spokes and all the gadgets and modes except the heated seats. I don't need all the modes, but here are the things I wouldn't want to give up - cruise, heated grips, and the blipper/auto shifter. Love that blipper - it's integrated with the ABS/IMU/traction control to keep me from downshifting too fast, meaning you can downshift too fast without wheel hop.

Great Vid Chopsy. I watched TMF and Dan's videos which persuaded me. Add a pair of Barkbusters and the Triumph heated grips and it's perfect. Don't right it off as a useable mild green laner. I took it over Salisbury plain yesterday. OK the deep mud was too much although I think that's more down to the tyres than the bike but handles the gravel, potholes and stone tracks absolutely no problem.

You can spec most things (except cruise) and still save money by getting the spec you want. Unfortunately it seems like the “go large” mentality for everything in the UK (like the huge number of massive tank BMW R1200GSAs sold to people who can barely manage them and have no use for all the toys) makes buyers frown upon this approach. Triumph deserve to sell loads of these and should be congratulated for making a bike riders need, can fully use, and might be able to buy without getting sucked into the PCP merry-go-round! Even with heated grips and a centre stand plus luggage it’s still cheaper than the basic GT Pro or most of its rivals, without really losing anything.

Bought an 850 Sport and added heated grips, handlebar protectors, crash bars, headlight protector, upgraded skid plate, quickshifter, tank guard and an extra USB. I may change the windscreen to the upgraded GIVI. I consider this my 899.5 Sport...lol. Only thing missing is the cruise control and a few riding modes from the 900. I can live with that and didn't spend the farm on the 900 which I don't really need. Don't sweat the front forks being a fixed load. You can always change the springs or the oil in them to suit your driving style. My only gripe is the TFT. The display is weak and a bit hard to read and decipher sometimes. Anyhow... Love my Sport.

It would take a finely calibrated tush to tell the difference between 84 and 94 horsepower. I own a Tiger 900 GT Pro but I can appreciate the 850 there is several however those extra features do make the GT Pro worth it to me. Several features I've never had before but would not give up now that are absent from the 850 but the extra horsepower isn't one of them. My wife and rode two up with the three hard bags and averaged over 48 U.S. mpg in over 1800 miles so I agree the range is up there. I can see why some might choose the 850 over the 900 but a lot of rider friendly items especially for all seasons riding make the 900 slightly better for me.

What year bike do you have? Do you have the new "T-Plane" engine? I was 100% sold on getting a Tiger, because I wanted the electric smoothness of the triple. But then at the last minute, they changed all their engines to a rougher running "T Plane" crankshaft.
@flatcapcaferacer3 жыл бұрын
@@Ritalie I have a 2021 Tiger 900 GT Pro. I also have had a 955i and 1050 Tigers and this is the best engine of them all and that includes the Tiger 800 which I rode quite a bit as my buddy owned. Compared to the previous Tigers I'd say there is a tiny bit more vibration over 95 mph. There is a difference in vibrations but it isn't a bad difference and as one whose fingers are affected by vibrations I have ridden 5 days and almost 2000 miles on one trip without any discomfort. The Tplane motor gives better pulling down low, and a lower center of gravity and is much lighter feeling than the Tiger 800. I was a big fan of the Tiger 800 but this engine is just better in my opinion.

I can't wait for this trend to go away forever. UGH. So gross. The sound of a flat plane engine is just AWFUL AWFUL. They took the best sounding inline triple engine, and the best sounding American V8 engine in the Corvette, and they totally ruined them. They ruined the Ford 302, and the Yamaha R1 too. Many engines are being converted to a "crossplane." If you read about the flat plane/cross plane/T-Plane crank design, it is actually an irregular, odd crankshaft, that creates severe balance issues, and so you they have to completely redesign the engine in order to get rid of the strange harmonic vibrations. The irregular sound makes for a really awful exhaust note. On a flat plane, the firing order is "irregular" which ruins the distinct sound of a triple, or V8.

850 - £9.4K ..... 900 GT - £11.5K ..... 900 GT Pro - £13.2K. The 850 is a nice bike but it lacks a lot of the desirable features of the more expensive models... even the dash is downgraded from 7" to 5". If you try and up-spec the GT to match the GT Pro it comes in at over £13.5K and still wont have the electronic rear shock or 5th riding mode (they are not available as upgrade options) ... which in my book makes the GT Pro the best value and the one to have ... if ya can afford the extra £3.8K it's definitely worth it, especially if you love having ALL the toys 😉
