After making a promise to myself a couple of years to find a job that combined work with my passion, I was very lucky to find a job working for a bike shop in Glasgow West Coast Triumph and have loved every minute since.
I wanted to bring you with me on this journey, share my experience with all the fantastic bikes I have access to, and help you guys and girls get a flavour of what they feel like to ride and live with.
I produce weekly vids around motorcycle content, covering reviews of both old, and new models, including some classics and also some of the events that happen at the shop throughout the year.

Is each for ride modes speed restricted
I just wish'd Honda would give it an extra cylinder and turn it into a 250cc vtwin. Change nothing else about it but that, the bike looks like it would have the space to do that.
I like your road test assessment. I have a 2023 orange tank 1200 Speed Twin and love it. I also have a new Ducati V4 Diavel I use for touring. I agree with you about the seat. I had a gel insert put in my seat and didn't change the contour enough so could retain the original seat cover. I suggest that change well worth doing.

What alien language is this ? 😂😂😂😂

Great bike for sure.Thks.
I’ve had the 24 RP for a couple of weeks and love it. However, the heat pouring onto my legs is a big issue which makes riding quite uncomfortable at times. A $2 piece of plastic diverting the hot air away from your legs could probably have solved this issue. Thumbs down to Triumph for not addressing this. It should be noted that I’m in a warmer climate so it probably affects me more than someone in your neck of the woods. But it’s really frustrating and disappointing that Triumph has not sorted this issue which has plagued previous models. Aside from having my legs roasted, I love the bike.
I have around 2k kms on the '24 RP and installed deflectors almost instantly. I also live in a "warm" country. The deflectors help but not by much. The heat this thing spews out is unreal.
@@Jeffknat yeah can’t believe Triumph hasn’t done anything about this
That TFT needs a faster processor its way too slow
Great review! You have addressed most of the important issues. The engine rumble under acceleration sounds very unique but seems quite discrete when cruising. The comfort is also a big plus for those wanting a cruiser.
I have that exact bike use it for work 23 miles each way love riding it. Just turned 1300 miles. Great review. 🥳
Thank you
My 2024 GT Pro is my 4th Tiger - I've loved all of them. However ... I'm noticing some issues with the electronics and I'm wondering if anyone else is having these same issues. #1 - My TPMS shows false warnings (both tires / separately) - For example, I set out on a ride last Saturday and the TPMS indicated that my front tire was at 22 psi. I stopped immediately, and manually checked the pressure (it was fine). The monitoring system then reset itself and showed the proper PSI. This has happened a number of times on each ride. I'm open to suggestions - I'm visiting the dealership soon and will ask them too. #2 - When I connect my phone via the onboard blue tooth connection - when I try and adjust the volume of the music I'm playing, the music stops and I then have to reset the connection for it to start again. I'm open to the idea that this might be user error (somehow) or due to me having an older phone (Galaxy s10e), but it's frustrating. The two issues make me wonder if there's a problem in the electronics. Anyone else have such issues?
Beautiful country.
It really is!
Nice bike!!!!
Sure is!
Hi,.any reason you don`t go with full syntetic T7100 10w30.
Just went with what Honda recommended
This is the bike I wanted but living in London is a no way Jose with the insurance. I got an interceptor 650 instead (love it too)
Nice bike dude
How tight do the header bolts need to be mate
I just nipped them up hand tight lol
@@simotofoto ok thanks mate 👍
Im from Texas. I know your accent is, of course, ordinary to you, but for me its not, and its very cool, I swear i could listen to you all day long talking abouyt whatever lol. Ty for the review, ill be getting one of these very soon, i cant wait. 🙂👍
Thanks ever so much man glad you enjoyed the review :)
Hi great review. Also saw your review of the Triumph Rocket Storm GT. Which do you prefer? Am always 2up with my wife. Am interested on your thoughts. Thanks. 👍
Hard one, if it was my only bike the Rocket, if it was a second bike the Breakout
They are a bloody awesome bike! I love mine... Great video and review as usual mate 😁
Thanks! 👍
Great job with the 360 pano shot and top POV.
Thanks man
Great review - thanks! You mentioned bar end mirrors - havn't seen anything specifically for the X.. Anything compatable? Recently purchased this bike - really fantastic!.
Hopefully someone can add some info below for you
Loved the review, one of the best , great the way you review the bike. As a scotsman living in Australia i am going to buy the Triumph 900 GT Pro, pending a road test. I have watched the video twice somehow felt a bit homesick , always like anything Scottish
brillliant Robert, glad you enjoyed it bud, desperate to get my ass over to Oz
Approaching the 600 mile service and all you have said describes the bike exactly! Showing 75 mpg so far as I break the engine in which is unstressed and has reams of roll-on torque. 😊
Thanks for sharing mate yeah the torque is lovely
Buying my second one soon with the extra gear , cannot wait . Great video mate and subscribed
Awesome! Thank you Gary :)
haha near to Kirkintilloch were I am from, should have taken her up the Crow road, past the Carron reservoir and down the tak me doon road into Kilsyth and back again, that entire section of road has been renewed because of the world cycling event, its immense, really great review, bike sounds amazing.
Cheers Robbie :)
How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
Jeezo man thats a bit forward lol 6 foot 18 stone
@@simotofoto LOL I'm just trying to gauge things as I'm getting ready to purchase one. I'm a little over 6' but I'm about 205lbs-ish, so should be good. Nice video. Thanks
40 bikes owned in the past but the 850 has given me the biggest smile. 👌
why?
@michagil5410 price, £9000 when I bought it new in 21, comfort solo and two up, gearbox probably the nicest and smoothest gearbox on a bike I've ever owned, handling, its so forgiving, reliability I've done 12000 miles so far with no issues, performance is good solo and two up. I've owned all sorts of bikes but for me the 850 ticks all the boxes.
@@gunton21 Thanks for your feedback. :) I’ve just ordered one 850 for myself.
Test road one recently. Handling is great. Hoewever, that t-plane crank chucks out lots of vibes at different points in the rev range. Triumph seem to have solved the vibes in the handlebars, but the ones in the foot peg are not good. Also the tank experiences some vibration which i have never seen before in a bike.
Each to their own
What language is that other guy speaking 😅
Scottish :)
Couldn't agree more! My brother and I rode the new 900 Rally Pro and previous iteration of the 1200 Rally Pro, swapping bikes a couple of times 'mid flight' to get an instant like-for-like comparison. Although we both preferred the slightly better comfort of the 1200, we would both opt for the 900. Really wanted to love the 1200, as it's a lot more bike for a lot less money (now at least) but as an all rounder the 900 wins. I found the screen on the 1200 to be naff too, even though it's bigger than the one on the 900. The screen on my Tiger 800 isn't the best but it certainly beats that on the 1200. I can flat foot the 1200 too, even with the seat on its high setting, so no issues there. So there you go, a lot of folding, but the 900 Rally pro has it all 🙂
I concur
I thought I spoke English until I watched this video 😂. Excellent production value though. Really cool. I’d like the speed master but it seemed too small for a bigger guy. Still like it though. Love triumph.
Cheers
Thanks great video Did you experience any vibrations ?
Cheers, yeah there are vibes but its no more than to be expected on a motorbike :)
Totally agree with how the seat is improved! Remarkable, no regrets upgrading
Cheers Bernard
Great bike love it I would say that I bought the same bike out the same Glasgow shop went from a African twin to the tiger handles much better on the road and they have same wheels and tyres the bike has everything 😊
Cheers Donald
Picked new Rally Pro 2024 900 up 4 weeks ago swapped 2020 GTPRO 900 for it - love it 2000 miles on it in 3 weeks love it - any suggestions on tyres for my next tyres - normally been using Michelin road 6's but cant get them for these tyres sizes
Trailmax Mission! Forever thread life and super competent 50/50. The new Raid, is supposed to be an improvement on the off road side. You can get 25k+ on the Mission, that’s 3 times what I get from an Anakee.
I got a pair of raids in my scrambler XC. Great road, squirrelly on the asphalt, but very confident in corners. Don't think they'll last long with the scrambler torque.
Simple calculus, Triumph will sell way more of these than they ever could a track focused bike. Triumph is in the business of selling bikes.
I agree! I have a 2023 GT Explorer.
Wrong helmet- retro bike-retro gear
I love the review and those B roll shots 👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍
I can't find where my oil filter goes
what age is yours?
@simotofoto the age of the non oil filter variety. ..2020 It's got a little screen inside and a spinner oil cleaner. Have to take the whole side of the engine case off to service it properly. Fun times. My original post was a joke. I wish it was as easy as yours. 🤣
Cracking looking bike, I’m looking forward to a ride on it and a comparison against my 1200
Come and grab a shot anytime Lawrie!
Everytime i say, "alright, im getting a Low Rider S" I come across a video like this and I second guess the decision
Hahaha know the feeling dude
@@simotofoto it's frustrating hahaha
Bien mais ... l'autonomie du réservoir... 😮
Want this bike sooooooo much
Snap lol
Nice indeed 😂
Cracking review Si, love the scenery where is this?
Cheers, this is the road from Houston to Langbank then down at Greenock harbour, glad you enjoyed bro.
Awesome bike love the khaki Green, great review Si
