Come say hi to me, and let’s talk motorcycles and E-bicycles.
I have lived motorcycles for over 50 years, and am still as excited as ever about them. I have become really excited about the E-bicycles because of their health and fun benefits. Life is short so enjoy every day. All of the bikes you will see Saturday will help you do exactly that!
2020 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro and Rally Pro First Ride Review
There was a lot to like about Triumph’s Tiger 800 when it was first released in 2011 in two variations, a standard street-oriented model and an off-road XC variant. As a road-going middleweight ADV tourer the Tiger 800 was formidable and competent, but its rev-happy 799cc triple and tall gearing, especially in first, hobbled its off-road capability, despite numerous changes and adjustments made over the next eight model years. The nomenclature of the ever-expanding lineup got confusing as well — what’s the difference between the XRx and XRT again?
Thankfully, in addition to a complete overhaul (including a bump in displacement to 888cc — hence the new 900 designation), Triumph has simplified the model names of its five-member 2020 Tiger 900 family. There’s the street-oriented, cast-wheeled base model, plus GT and GT Pro variations of it, and the dirt-oriented, tubeless spoke-wheeled Rally and Rally Pro. After spending two and a half days riding the GT Pro and Rally Pro at the press launch in Morocco, it’s clear that these litter-mates are actually two very different animals, indicative of each one’s improvement in specializing in its unique mission.
