Triumph Tiger 900 GT Review - The Positives

[@ChipZilla69]

I recently passed my test and am torn between the Tiger 900 and the Tracer 9 GT plus. I rode last year's model Tracer this weekend but think i will go back to try the new one. I also haven't ridden the triumph yet.

Congrats on passing. One of the guys I ride with has a 2021 Tracer 900GT and loves it. We swapped bikes before and we both liked each others. That's a tough call. But the Yamaha does come with more standard features and accessories unless you go for the GT Pro. The Tracer is a beautiful bike, but definitely felt "bigger", but it also was snappier as well. If you could swing the money for a new Tracer, they now have adaptive cruise control!! That alone is a game changer right there. I love my cruise control, but it's annoying having to stop and restart it when someone slows down in front of me etc..

Hi Joe, you mentioned you installed fog lights on your 900 GT. Can you please let me know what Brand they are and are they Plug & Play? Thank you very much.

For the lights, I wired them to the switched 12v power socket by the rear set Here is a link to my video installing the switched power, and also links to the lights I have and the light bracket. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5DVoIerqrFjarc Lights amzn.to/3N30xzI Light mount sw-motech.us/bike/TRIUMPH/Tig900RPro/2019/C702/products/safety/additional+headlights/light+mount/4052572195321.htm

Thank you for the review. Seriously considering a GT low, but wondering if I should get the standard, especially if I would need to "regular" seat anyway. Also, have you done any off-road with the stock tires?

[@Mudslidex1]

Unfortunately I haven't done any off-roading with it. I mean I've driven through some gravel roads and hard packed small dirt, but I wouldn't even consider that off-road as they were flat and non-technical. I knew I wasn't going to use this bike for off-road when I bought it so the GT-Low wasn't a concern for me. But if you do plan on doing it, go for the Regular as the extra height clearance will give you peace of mind.

Thanks- am going to sit on a standard soon (loved the low when I sat on it- I am on the short side- 5'8")- also sat on a transalp for comparison- way higher than the gt low!@@Mudslidex1

Hiya mate! I'm looking at getting a Tiger 900 GT low as well. I don't suppose you'd be able to make a video demonstrating your leg height when sat on the bike? I'm really short, at 5,4 with a 28-29 inch inseam, so finding a motorcycle that suits me well is a struggle at best. Hoping to get my wife on as a pillion so being able to be confident I won't drop the bike (or her) is important. Thanks mate!
