2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro
This thing is freaking sweet... broke it in proper today with a little off roading.
Looks like a giant next to my HD....

ADV bikes are great, even if you never go off road. They have realistic ergo's. I have been on them for over ten years. I did miss the raw powe from my sportbike days so I got this three years ago....love it
Love my Springer "bar hopper". Despite it's looks, it's actually pretty comfortable. But yeah, the comfort level and performance/braking/handling is on a ridiculously different level with the Tiger. That said, the HD is the bike I want to have when I reach my destination. It's just so cool.
@GT80Rider - yes, those stock tires got a little squirrley off road yesterday. I'll wear em out and go with something a little more dual-purpose'ish eventually.
My wife laughed at me when I came home from that ride yesterday with a big stupid grin on my face.
The Shop
I've owned this ol girl 28 years now.
Nice bike BTW!
What size tires does she run? I’ve been picking up some take off TKC-80s for my bike for 100-120, most budget friendly and a good 60/40 dirt tire.
Congrats on the new ride as well!
I’ve had mine Maybe 27 years also 👍
@YZDAD - Post up pics if you get a chance...
@NascarNate - No idea on the 35th...that photo was taken back in 2003/2004ish during a car show on San Diego bay. I would wager it's a T56...who in their right mind would buy a modern camaro with an automatic! (unless it's someone with some kind of disability/challege)
@ NorCalVet - WOW.....absolutely stunning 69 Z!! Houndstooth is the most beautiful interior of all time IMO. Looks like it's numbers matching car.
Pit Row
I've always been drawn to the Tigers and the 800's (from what I've read) are so highly regarded.
I was actually close to going with a new 2019 800....but the Showa suspension and new Brembo brakes is what pushed me over the fence to the 900.
I actually prefer the engine music the 800 makes....they changed the firing order on the 900. Same HP...but more torque. I have not been able to find one bad review on the 900.
What tires do you use?
Why? I don’t trust you...your gonna scratch my car when you swing your leg over that huge ADV scooter. That’ll REALLY piss me off!!
I love that car.
I might know your mate - I worked there until last November, and sat next to the team who did this bike
@Indian_Dunes_4ever I'm stoked to see you enjoying the bike - I saw a lot of the effort that went into designing it first hand!
Post a reply to: Spoke with my...oh to hell with that....I picked up a double 450 yesterday
