A correction in one of the numbers I gave is needed: The rear suspension travel of the XR is 172mm and not 150mm as I stated in the video at 5:25.

@@NothingToProve how do bikes like these 3 compared to something like a 2016 Suzuki GSX s1000f, aside from the obvious differences? Scott, I know you have written all of them, and value your Insight.

Thanks for reviewing this one Scott , even more for me to think about before i buy .

You do great easy listening reviews Scott. Thanks and I learned a lot about the subtle and not so subtle differences between these bikes.

I do like calm informative reviews like this without bells and whistles!

Excelent review Scott as always. It is pure therapy for me. Thanks for your work. Take care out there (specially when riding with your friend and his GS 😉). You know the risks we all face when riding.

Great review Scott. Always impressed by your depth of detail 👍

Great video Scott , brilliant honest review! I’ve owned the Gt pro for a year , and I love it . I’ve Just completed a 5 day trip around Scotland ,and I was amazed how good this bike was , it just about kept up with the Gs and had the upper hand on the Africa twin ! it was like ridding a magic carpet ! so happy you liked it to 👍👍

Excellent review.Love my 2015 FJ-09 was/am considering the '21 Tracer9 GT. Your review has opened a new can of worms for me.My first triple was a Triumph Tiger 1050. Will be visiting the Triumph dealer to see/test the 900 Pro.Thanks for time/effort in the comparisons.Rick,76yrs/Seattle

Great review Scott very in depth and none bias 👌

Always Perfect style of review and mostly needed content with nice visuals. Many thanks.

A very fair review Scott. I've had a 900GT for almost a year now, I absolutely love it. I average around 60mpg, so get around 240 miles out of a tank. Screen is good, seat is good. In all honesty, if I was buying a new bike tomorrow, I would buy the 900GT again 👍

GREAT review man. I"ve been going back and forth on these bikes for a YEAR now. I too HATE that Q#$% TFT so much. So, I'll now go check out the Tiger. I'll do about 90% street and 10% off road in Baja and it might just be the best fit. Scott I love your vids man, keep em coming and thanks for helping me a ton in my decision here.

Great review, I like your editing on switching cameras around. Also its good when you show the stats spec chart.

I had to come back and watch this video a second time - it was that good! I am seriously considering a GT Pro and this video answered some nagging questions I had.

Another great review Scott! It’s interesting you’re focusing on all these sport touring motorcycles. I get the impression you’re not enamoured with the BMW as much but remember it was a long time ago in development. I would think the next model release will have all these issues updated & improved because of the competition. A greater slice of the market pie is a companies priority & brand retaining. Perhaps even next year? Always enjoy your inputs & engineering knowledge!✅ Take care & ride safe!

Great review, as always Scott.

I sold my 1200 GSA and bought a 2021 Tiger 900GT. Other than the shaft drive, I like the Tiger better in every way. It’s just a really nice all around bike, particularly for older guys like me who refuse to give up riding.

Great review! Just transitioned from a '15 Tracer to a '20 GT. Noticed the power drop right away, but would trade it for the huge upgrade in comfort any day.

Enjoying your videos! Thanks for sharing such comparisons.

I watch every review, great content! Riding a '21 mt09 at the moment. Im at the end of my 20's.. probably will go for an adventure bike after 3 or 4years. I like the triumphs styling so much. Will probably go for that one.

Great review Scott. I agree with you in liking the power down low, but there are some people who like to rev it up. So, you have given them the truth. I will never forget overhearing some guys complain about Ducati’s not having enough high RPM power like a multi cylinder bike. This was on a Ducati demo day and I still remember how sweet the Ducati was with a great motor. This was the 848 back in 2007 or so. Keep up the good work and I hope BMW can fix the back brake and seat plus LCD for you.👊

Great job Scott!

Hi Scott, great review. I have the exact same bike. 2021 gt pro in red. I love it. It’s comfy, leans well in turns and eats miles on pavement and off road. Triumph got it right. It’s the Swiss Army knife of Bikes. You should get one .

Excellent once more, and a great resource for those in the market. Like yourself it seems, I do have a liking for torque over hp (which is what weds me to my GS), but having ridden both the XR and Tiger 900 I'd have to agree with all of the points you have made. For me, whilst the XR is a solid machine, I just felt less cramped and more comfortable on the Tiger - it was the one that I wanted to go back to. For what it's worth, I also prefer the looks. I can see your interest has been raised with this bike, so I look forward you to testing the KTM and Ducati options before you commit:-)

Excelent video love it. The triumph looks like the winner to me and in this red color wow!

Great review! Agree with your comments and observations.

Excellent review and comparison. thank you for posting :)

Nice comparison, as usual ! Thanks

Appreciate this review Scott. and I think it's a beautiful bike.

Great review, I've often wondered about these three bikes and how they compare 👍

Very nice reviews Scott. One month ago i have booked my New f900xr and im a bit concerned with the rear break. From what i have read on different forums is something related to the oil break heating up due to the collector. Some fixed it with the weight other fixed it by changing the oil with a better one. Other dont have this problems. Hope for the Best.

I like the chart that you present during your reviews it gives a much better comparison between the different bikes.

Thanks for the review Scott as always top notch stay safe Jiri Brisbane

Hi Scott. I love watching your honest reviews and look forward to your new videos. Can you please do a comparison video between the tiger gt pro and the r1250rs. Mainly, how do the compare in city riding, highway and which would be better for longer distances.

Thanks. I had the Tiger back in 2013 for a few years. One of my most appreciated bikes ever! I imagine it would've only got better with the years. The only only thing I wanted for was a touch less weight.

Great review, thank you , I have the gt pro 2021 black, regards from the UK

Interesting review. For me I like the low end torque. I love the feeling of the power pulses coming on down low, right off of the idle. The 17in front wheel on the xr vs the 19 on the triumph combined with the slightly lower fork stroke would result in the XR being a more nimble motorcycle and more planted bike on a twisty paved road at a spirited pace. If it were me I'd sort out the rear brake on the XR and keep it. Having said that, follow your heart Scott, that Triumph is a nice motorcycle, life is short.

Hey Scott, another excellent review. I'm not a fan of the Tracer, nor of Triumphs generally, but enjoyed your thoughtful comparison none-the-less. Thanks. PS. Your XR is a handsome machine - knocks spots off of the other two in this regard IMO. Aesthetics are important to most of us if we're honest. Let's hope BMW upgrade/improve the XR in the areas you've highlighted soon. Thanks.

Thanks for reviewing and comparing the Tiger 900! The whine of the engine is annoying but the smooth intuitive handling makes up for it. One thing you may not have noticed on the GT is the vibration in the bars and foot pegs. After a few hour, it can lead to tingling fingers and leg fatigue. Another factor that may be important to some is a low options. The Tiger has a GT Low, which I own. The BMW also has a low version but I don't think the Tracer does. Scott, you always have great videos, full of very useful information and evaluations. Thanks!!

great review as always, my only concern is the exhaust can, I imagine it will be difficult to put any sort of side cases or saddlebags on

Great stuff 😎👍

Very fair review, as always. I still like my XR and can live with its imperfections. However, that being said, BMW needs to refine the bike. For the price, any bike that is 10K plus should be( in my humble opinion) damn near perfect. I've been riding and occasionally racing motorcycles for over 40 years now and coming from a no frills beginning I can tell you that today's motorcycles and tires are light years ahead of anything dreamed of back in 1978! My biggest problem with the Tiger and the Tracer is the modern-bug-like look. I simply can't get used to much of the new styling that accompanies many of the newer models. I can't help it...I'm retro! Cheers Scott!

Best regards and safe driving

Hi Scott. Great review yet again. I have a Rally Pro in green which I use 98% on road. Very plush with the longer-travel suspension, and the bigger front wheel gives me no issues when cornering. Goes and handles really well, and the build quality is solid. Only downside for me has been severe butt-ache after an hour or so in the saddle, but I’ve cured this with a ComfortAir seat pad (BLISS 😎), making it an all-day pleasure. Minor point…..I can’t recall having so many compliments on any of my previous bikes from random people on how it looks. Must be the Khaki paint / white frame / black cases combo. Cheers 👍

Great review.

Great review and comparison between bikes. I'm looking at all 3 bikes, also looking at the Vstrom 1050xt and Ducati supersport 950 (although deep down i know it would probably be too hard to live with)

Hi Scott, I procrastinated for months between the GT & the Rally ended up with the Rally as it’s more universal & pleased with my decision. The power didn’t worry me as the mid range is so good & 120-160kph is about the maximum I would do but touring around the 100kph I got 400k’s to a tank. You do get used to the controls and buttons and after a while of riding they become second nature, & the handling in the twisties is fine I really didn’t find the 21” wheel overbearing enough to warrant having the GT. I love the screen the only real odd thing I discovered was that you can never show the odometer which seemed a bit odd to me at first but I really only ever use the tripmeters anyway which make it easier for distances & fill ups. However I did find when you first turn the ignition on the odometer does show for a couple of seconds only in the centre of the TFT screen at the top & again when you turn ignition off but that’s it for the odometer. (On my bike anyway) But couldn’t be more happier with the Triumph Rally & the $3000(aud) I saved by not buying the Pro I bought some quality protection and luggage.

I also testdrove the Tracer and the XR, for me the Tracer my expectations were not met and the XR the QuickShifter is on the low RPM not that smooth, also for my feel I leaned a bit much to the front putting some weight on my wrists ... like you say all 3 bikes are very nice bikes, but for me the Tiger is the best value for money

In the Netherlands all around the same price. Which one would you take? I use it for the weekends and for commuting. Great comparison and I like the way you try to compare them in different categories. Edit: one bike that I keep looking at is the Tenere 700.

About to decide weather to upgrade from the Tiger 850 to a gt pro. Is there any usefulness to the the triumph Bluetooth connectivity system? Would it not be better to just hook your helmet straight to your phone?

I have the 900GT and after putting 4200 miles on it I live in sport mode. I find myself reaching for a non existent 7th gear over 80 mph. I find the engine has a low frequency vibration from 5500 rpm - 7000 rpm, then the engine really comes alive again around 6500rpm. Other than those things, it is the most comfortable motorcycle I have ever ridden. If I could do it over, I would buy it again.

Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo.. super clair et bien détaillée.. Merci pour ce travail remarquable. Ma préférence va sur la triumph 🤗✌️🏍

i agree…..😅 i like the low rpm tork motors, I have problems around the 5the neck- slipldisc too. Thank you for that review👍

Great review thanks. The 2023 Tracer is getting a single large TFT screen and you'll be able to connect your phone to it. Ooh and it's also getting radar adaptive capability for the cruise control. I don't think they're going to bring it to the US though. 🤨 I've been pretty happy with my '22 model so far. The only thing I really dislike is the on/off throttle situation but I think that's common these days.
