Featured Tiger 900 - First Ride

Well if your missus has done a runner I suppose you might run out of mugs sooner or later.

 

There’s nowt wrong with Camp Coffee poured from its bottle, none of this fancy powdered stuff thank you

 

I’d never have thought about having a coffee out of a glass

Just shows sometimes you have to think outside of the box

 

I remember now Steve you posted a picture of it on here

I was amazed.

 

I was being sarcastic you know.

 

I’ve always liked to Tiger 800, but I found the engine heat uncomfortable. How did the 900 compare heat-wise?

 

But what about the Tiger Sport 1050. I went from a 2015 Tiger 800 to the Sport. A stonking bike, single sider, 125bhp, a true 145mph and loads of fun... Just sayin

 

Had a couple of hours on the new T900 this afternoon.

I think the revised firing order on the new 900 is great,it sounds like a twin and pulls like one compared to my 2018 GenIII T800. The engine sounded less mechanical also.
I found the seat uncomfortable after an hour,the seat was on the low setting so I stopped and altered it to the the high position and it was a lot more comfortable. The suspension wanted dialling in for me.
The TFT dash is larger than the TFT dash on my T800 and was nice and clear.

One thing I wasn’t keen on was that the frame around the engine was black but the rear frame section and subframe was white. Come on Triumph made your mind up all black frame and rear end or all white frame and rear end.
Overall a nice way to spend a couple of “in isolation hours”

Would I buy one,,,,, erm I don’t know

 

I think it’s to emphasise that the rear subframe is now replaceable

 

That’s the problem I don’t know if I want to be classed as a T900 member when you look at the founder members

 

Waiting impatiently for my 900 GT Pro to come in. The sales people at the shop bought the few 2020's they had so had to order a 2021. I have a BMW S1000XR right now and thought I would never sell it and be able to replace all the amazing things about it. Well Triumph proved me wrong. The biggest advantage the 900 GT Pro has over the XR is how light it feels. I love the XR and it does everything right except the how top heavy it feels. The only reason I even feel it is because my other bike is a WR250R. I go from that to the XR and think its a tank. Until I start moving, then its a toy again. But this old body tells me to go lighter and I have to listen. lol The test ride of the 900 was great. Feels like a grown up version of the WR so supper excited to get it this month. Fingers crossed it will be everything I imagine.

 

Guys I found that the Tiger 900 its limitated to stay behind the 95hp due to A2. I changed the map and the engine its totally different.

Check this out, it has subtitles.
