Missed your comment Chris, Apologies! Thanks for looking - all day may be a bit much though 😂😂😂

Thank you for this video and the video of the Rally Pro. I live in Chiang Mai Thailand and recently test rode the Rally Pro which I really enjoyed but will test the GT Pro in a few days time. I own a 2019 Street Twin and am very happy with it but want a more touring bike here in Northern Thailand. I was also looking at the BMW F900XR but BMW here is really limited in it’s service, parts and reach. Your video of the GT Pro is very helpful. I have only been riding for 2 years now and the Street Twin is my first motorcycle. The Tiger will be my second :)

first time viewer. 55 years on a motorcycle so far. Love your work!

I think Triumph are on to a winner here, as regards the TFT it's a big improvement, not sure about the RPM format, and I don't think it is as good as the BMW TFT. Hopefully we will all get to ride our bikes again soon after lockdown. To you and all your followers, KEEP SAFE.

Nice review Farmer, it's quite a bike. The dash is pretty impressive. But I'm super happy with my new T7, just managed the first service before the lockdown. Keep the films coming...they are vital to our sanity in these bloomin awful times! Cheers, Steve

I did a road test on one with 200 kms on the clock on Monday. I would say it's an easy ride, no nasty surprises but enough fun to keep you smiling. The seat I'm not so sure of, comfy enough for the two hours I was out but any longer I reckon a stand up or two might be necessary. I do have a 70 year old backside where the upholsery has worn!!! Quick shifter is a delight when your brain gets used to it being there. The vibration is noticable but not too bothersome, mirrors are brilliant can see all you need to. first time I have ridden an adventure bike. It's a do all bike, get you to work and out at the weekend for a relaxed blast. Not a bike that any weight would be even noticed. Balance this by understanding I ride an MT10, even so, there is plenty enough go to have fun. Really surprising bike. If you are in any way curious about it I agree get a test ride. Bikes are like shoes, a very personal choice, try this one for sure. Quality is great.

Excellent review Farmer, most comprehensive one made yet on the GT Pro as opposed to the Rally Pro that everyone else seems to prioritise over this model. It will be very interesting to hear how they compare in your experience but I can't help thinking that this GT is the better option for most people. Lets face it, nether are bikes you would take down a green lane by choice.I also think the GT looks better with it's black forks and less blinged up appearance but I am probably alone on that!

I cant wait to get out on my GT Pro. I am just admiring it in the Garage whilst we are all in lockdown. Only real disappointment is that the bluetooth doesn't seem to work on my bike. I am told this will get sorted at the first service when ever that happens. Having previously owned an Africa Twin DCT for a short time I am very impressed with the weight of the Triumph. It steers with greater ease and the quick shifter is a joy to use. The daytime running light is really bright. Its also nice to know that their is an IMU for cornering abs.

If your looking for a bike that comes with all the bells and whistles it’s a good choice.

Ah yes, perhaps we should consider the new Tiger similar to a fine single malt? While it has aged, it’s still quite youthful; despite Euro 5 its velvety notes remain heavily influenced by Old Blighty but now there’s certainly a hint of sunny Thailand; Churchillian cigar fog mingled with ginger and cherries? Clearly, this new offering from the Triumph Distillery is ripe enough to enjoy now, but it still has room to grow. That said, for the full effect, rather than a quick demo-gulp, it’s best to see, swirl, sniff, sip and savor the new Tiger and decide for yourself: Is it a new classic or a potboiler?

Great review of clearly a great bike. However for me the thing I don't like is the high exhaust can. It's right where the soft luggage would hang and where the pillion can touch (yes I know they would be wearing gloves). I would have had it lower.

I own the GS1250 but i took the Tiger 900 GT Pro out for a test ride the other week and was well impressed with it. Loved the heated seat and the quick shift (which is better than the BMW IMO) But it failed my three-strikes rule, but they're nitpicks...Adjustable screen , not that adjustable on the move...Side stand too far back...F/pegs too central and i find i have to place my foot at the rear or forward of the peg when i come to a stop & or course it had to be chain driven. Price is good and has lots of toys as standard and i would definitely check it out again if i was changing bikes. But for now, the GS has the edge for me.

A+ review! You said 220 KG (485 lbs), I read from a good source it was 213 KG (470 lbs) fully fueled. Do we know the official wet weight? Perhaps the 213 KG weight is half tank of fuel, that matches out. Tiger 900 is 25-30 KG lighter than big BMW 1250GS.

Hello, I actually weigh the bikes myself in the workshop - same way ! for every bike.

Well, as you know, I have been banging on about the BMW 850GS for a while now, :-) on the basis that they are more fun to ride than the heavier 1250s etc. Still a great bike, but the new 900 XR is definitely worth a look now too. The XR is obviously a pure road bike compared to the 850 GS, but nevertheless, a comfortable 'adventure' style riding position and seemingly a good all-rounder / tourer too. An extra 50cc or so on the 850 GS motor, probably not a bad thing either. Not sure if the 900 XR is built in China (as per the 850 GS)? That being a negative in my mind, as I would much rather have 'proper' 100% German engineering than a Chinese product. I think the 850/900 segment is the way to go, unless you are well over 6 foot, heavy set and/or touring 2-up regularly.

Interesting comments you made about the outgoing 800 as I found it a bit bland TBH when I tried one. SWMBO didn't like it either on the back and for her the 1200GS was the far better option being far more roomy and comfortable so being a good husband I went with that LOL. I'd be interested in hearing what you find about the 900 as a 2 up touring bike and how it copes loaded up with a pillion and luggage against the opposition if you could sort that? One thing that's often overlooked is the payload, the 1250GS is 216kg so is well capable of taking the rider, pillion and full luggage but Triumph don't quote it for the 900 on their website so I don't know what it is.

Another great informative review FT. How do you think this would be two up in comparison to the larger Tiger or 1250GS? Just a comment that there is lots of echo coming throw when you are doing your inside comments. Cheers

Hi there, bloody microphones - good feedback - Two up would be tough against the big boys BUT how fast do you go 2up ???? Interesting debate - if I were buying an adventure bike tomorrow it might be this one ......might 😂😂😂

People are very fussy about sound and picture quality. Who cares if it isn't BBC!!

I probably sound like a broken record but.... if only they would put that engine in a new version of the old Trident 750/900. No electronics, no tft,,no nothing but abs in a straightforward bike that looks like a motorbike not a spaceship, comes only in black and is sub £10k.

In the current market, I think that's a very good call Simon - when the world sorts itself out you may get your wish ! Have to admit, I quite liked the spaceship :). Cheers, Farmer

Mr. Simon, sounds like you’re living in the past when two-stroke motorcycles ruled.

Simon Goddard Totally agree! I still have my Trident 900 purchased from new and a Tiger 1050. I really think a 900/1050 roadster will sell well. The Speed/Street triples are great, but no good for two up distance work and I’m not a great fan of the adventure style bikes!

Andy Page think the success of the Enfield Interceptor proves there is a demand for more basic machines. Think a new simple Trident version would sit nicely between that and the great looking but unnecessarily over electronically complicated and overpriced Speed Twin.

Simon Goddard - There’s 9-10 options of modern classics. I wish they would dial that back to only 3 options and make a dual sport bike or two....I wanna see their 75 hp single.

I like so many bikes but when they aren’t shaft drive they get ruled out so fast . Shaft drive ruined me . Great detail in the review .

Appreciate the support Mark - unprecedented times at the moment- heading for a different world?

So Farmer is it the Tiger 900 or the Yamaha Tenere?

Ha 🤔 - I think the Tenere is safe! I like the T7 a lot - a 21 inch Tiger is noticeably more money - all comes down to the elephant in the room, how much do you actually go off road??? We’re I to buy? ..... Ummm, I’d have to go for this GT for road use and have another bike on proper tyres to play - damn, I’ve blown the budget 😂😂👍

Mate, get yourself an action camera with stabilization, Hero 4 video won't cut it these days.... nice video otherwise sir..... :)

I'm guessing you mean the helmet cam footage Ozarks? that is a Drift 4k with stabilisation - I also use 2 GoPro 7's and a sony 3000 - plus inst 360 all stabilised - Fair criticism always welcomed so thank you - I'm sort of waiting to try the latest 360 cameras as a helmet cam - Qoocam 8k for instance. Always willing to improve!!! at least you enjoyed the vid so thank you again - Farmer

Here's the thing. 95% of people can't ride a BMW for a few days, a KTM, a Triumph and ponder the merits of. They need a.....'this is the one.' An informed choice. Not a ' this would be in there.....um...maybe?' 😉

Now lets start BSA..allover again.

Funny how all the reviewers say it has more torque than the 800 of course with 100 more CC's or is it 88 more CC's it will have more torque ..

FT what's going on with the audio? Love your channel and reviews but this video the sound was off.....

New camera issues - apologies

I have hard time why Triumph would go back to that silly one headlight for lowbeam crap. Everyone else is finally getting away from that. Just what a bike needs. Less light at night.

At the start the tiger was one of few bikes that had proper twin headlights. And now just as bmw have left there wonky headlights in the past. F800r f900r s1000xr s1000rr r1250rs all refreshed design. The big issue is it looks like a headlight has failed. Even the new Kawasaki ninja 650 has twin both working LED headlights. And it looks like the new Africa twin now has both lights for dip and 2 more for main beam.(the first af twin lights were poor)

not forgetting the Ducati multistarada 950s

Awful soundtrack while in the workshop, (cracking at beginning and end of each bout of speech) which might be due to a bad radio mike. Spoilt the video for me!
