    Hey folks,
    Currently ride a GS1250 but considering the Tiger 900 gt pro.
    Main reason is the lower weight and seat.
    Has any other members changed to the 900 from a GS and what's your thoughts?

    Hi Davey and welcome to the forum :cool: no experience on Tiger, but many of my fellow riders have changed over to 900 or 1200, and love them :p

    As I'm biased I'd say get a factory lowered 1250 GS as the seat height on one of those is lower than the GT

    Bikes are an indiviual thing so you need to get an extended test ride really to see if the Tiger suits your needs or not. It's obviously quite a bit down on both power and torque though it is a bit lighter which will offset some of the difference though the COG will be higher so might not feel as light as you'd expect at lower speeds. And it has a chain
