As a fellow RS owner, and an owner of a 95 Triumph Triple (original Hinckley triple) I think the boxer and the triple are two of the best engines in motorcycling… I may even prefer the triple a touch more. Looking at trading my RS for a 900 Rally.
The Tiger 900 Rally Pro is a great bike in its own right, but so is the RS - just very different. The Tiger makes the RS seem like a crotch rocket, though.
Nice review Wayne. Always enjoy the candid comments on your reviews. Nice touch to recognize the dealership who allowed you to take the nearly new bike out for an extended ride. Now a choice to make if seriously interested.
I noticed more heat on the Tiger, but I've honestly felt heat on every bike and not totally sure, HAD I NOT been told about the Tiger heat before, if I'd have noticed more than any other bike actually. I did however recently bout 2 inexpesive metal deflector shield things, off of AliExpress, that I've yet to put on to see if there is any difference. I'm told there is but it's not super huge but helps for sure. I'd not let that affect your decision. @@Yurii_Ko
The Tracer dumped heat out on the ankles whereas the Tiger dumps more heat out and on the thighs. Tiger is worse but in cooler months the heat could be nice.

I spent a solid 2 yrs evaluation bikes...started with the Tracer...ended up with the Tiger Rally Pro. Very happy with it so far.
What do you think about the heat on tiger vs tracer?
I’m really between these two bikes and cannot make my mind

It's not a close decision trust me. You cannot go wrong with the Tiger. It's a huge hit and very popular for a reason. @@Yurii_Ko
