- I have owned my March 2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro from new, and am now coming up to 24k miles. I have toured it, thrashed it, bumbled it, and crashed it....
With the updated 900 now in dealers I thought it would be the perfect time to go over my ownership experience.
This is a lengthy video and will probably only be of interest if you are considering purchasing a used model, but I go over any issues I have had, what the common faults are, the costs, and much more.
So grab a cuppa and join me as I dissect this popular machine!------------------------------------------------------------

very comprehensive review👍
Cheers! I was a bit apprehensive about posting such a long video but at the end of the day, it is aimed at a specific kind of person, who would want to know the ins and outs of the bike from an owner's perspective! 👍🏻
I have the same year/model with 15k miles, agree with all your observations and critiques. Great bike, perfect fit for me riding 60/40 pavement/gravel. Thanks for the review!
Cheers, and good to hear from fellow satisfied owners! 👍🏻
Getting one for myself next week, can't wait! :)
You will love it! 👍🏻
Good review.
I’ve only done 10k miles on my 22 but would just want to say that once I updated all the software etc for the Bluetooth connectivity and followed the instructions pretty religiously on my iPhone, it all works fine now but was a pain in the initial setup but I tend to use it only for a nicely visible ‘turn nav’ though, and have a TomTom (on silent) as well for the complex stuff. I don’t use it for sounds or phone.
I have an hpCorse Italian made end can and it sounds so good I feel it was worth every penny of the absurd price plus Brexit tax I paid but the stock IS good too. Thanks for the blanking plate rec. I will get one.
I've had the software updated and it does indeed connect ok, but in all honesty I prefer using my phone for navigation.
That said, if you wanted a minimalist cockpit, it will do the job!
I am now craving a HP Corse end can, cheers for that! 😅
@@ukveganbikers Sorry. Not sorry. Throaty gurgling ftw.
Cool review I have 2023 mondel GT!losing power so back shop..herd tis is proplem 0nly 5000...moles😮
I've not heard of that issue before, but thanks for mentioning it for any other potential new owners to be aware of!
Hopefully they find the issue quickly!
Cleaning is a big thing , my Kawasaki SX 1000 2017 still looks brilliant but i clean it regularly and polish generally every time its cleaned, my bike as 21400 miles from new don't ride it in the rain unless it rains while I'm out , valve clearance check is 2400 miles with a service is around £ 500 , I've been looking at the new 900 Tiger, not so sure now , I'm 67 and need a bike more upright health issues 😢I get an average of 54 miles to the gallon, still running on the same chain and sprockets a full service with out valve check is around £ 260 plugs air filter ect, oil an filler, a general service is £ 160, I did have warped discs but kawasaki covered majority of costs it was just out of warranty
My Tiger is ridden year round and rarely cleaned, so in fairness I think the finish has held up pretty well all things considered.
The new Tiger has also addressed a lot of the criticisms of the old bike so I'd definitely recommend at least trying one before ruling it out.
The Versys 1000 looks a cracking bike, but very heavy, and the 650 would probably be a bit of a comedown after a 1000.
The new Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT looks good as well.
@ukveganbikers it's the riding position that's causing me issues, otherwise I'd have a new one ,
Two people I ride with have 900 tigers, newest is the Aragon 23 plate they are happy with them it's the difference in power that I'm concerned about also , I've heard a reports that they haven't quite got the power when fully loaded for touring it lacks power and runs out steam, I'll give one a go ,
@@martinhughes9769 I don't find mine underpowered when touring, possibly a little too up, but I'm guessing if you're coming if you're coming from a 1000 yes you may find it a little lacking.
That said, it is a torquey, flexible engine so I would certainly recommend trying one to make your own mind up. 👍🏻
