Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is a very good touring bike, as long as you are not in a hurry. It has plenty of equipment, every conceivable electronic feature, extremely pleasant ergonomics and a well-balanced, easy-care three-cylinder engine. At the same time, it is oriented towards comfort across the board. Others are better at racing around corners, but the British lady prefers to cruise in a relaxed manner. Why overuse the soft chassis when you can instead enjoy the top wind protection and inhale the landscape around you.

It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.
