Motorcycle specifications TriumphTiger 900 GT Pro 2023 Systemic one-upmanship

In the beginning, Man walked. Then he tamed beasts to lead him over the winds. Then he created roads and spread them across the Earth. Then he created the machine to dominate the roads. His thirst for conquest was eventually overtaken by the machine. Then Triumph created the Tiger 900 GT Pro. And the man realized that motorcycles could exceed his desires.

When it comes to buying a trail bike for the road, you can choose to be sensible with a medium-displacement bike, or less sensible with a large-displacement bike. But it's also possible to burn a hole in the wallet while staying within the mid-size range. This is the case with machines such as the Multistrada 950 S, the Turismo Veloce Lusso or this over-equipped Tiger. As if the 900 Tiger GT had plunged into the accessories catalog like Obelix in the magic potion (without the extra weight).

It's the same with cars. The basic model lures you into the dealership until a version loaded with treats gets your pulse racing. You come away having lost a few gold teeth, but with a machine that's ready for standing as well as for all-out cruising.

Equipment is now top-of-the-range. In addition to all the equipment found on the basic 900 Tiger + the GT, the Pro gets luminescence officers with turn signals that convert to LEDs, as well as a pair of additional headlights. Then there's practicality and comfort on multiple levels. Heated grips are already present on the GT, so we might as well support it with heated rider and passenger seats. Tire pressure is sensor-controlled, shifting is assisted by a shifter, and the rear suspension is electronically adjustable. There are four preload settings ("rider", "rider and luggage", "rider and passenger" and "rider, luggage and passenger") and nine rebound settings. A few bits of light have been hidden under the switches to provide backlighting for the controls. Driving Modes have been increased from 4 to 5 (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-road and the programmable Rider), and Bluetooth connectivity has been installed for interaction with your smartphone. This makes it possible to control music, calls, certain functions and a simplified navigation system; and pairing also makes it possible to control a GoPro. And let's not forget an element of pure joy during certain technical operations: the center stand.

let's try to sum it all up in a short list. The Tiger 900 GT Pro is :

- A new 3-cylinder block with increased displacement (888 cm3) and torque (8.9 mkg at 7250 rpm)
- Power maintained at 95 hp, but available earlier (8750 rpm) with a fuller curve - A2 bridle available

It's dense, it's rewarding, and it packs a punch. At around 15,000 baht, that's a lot to think about. Consider that even if it's less well equipped, an 1100 Africa Twin is more affordable. It's hard to believe you'd fall for a machine of this caliber at such a hefty price. What's more, it doesn't come with suitcases or luggage of any kind. Nevertheless, the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is likely to be of interest to many. After all, the machine dominated the man. But all he cared about was the pleasure he could get from his lustful tormentor. And Man thought this was good. For him.
