FIRST RIDE

Triumph Tiger 900 GT

So you want to buy a comfortable motorcycle that can cover long distances, protect you from the elements and log hundreds of highway miles? Cruisers don’t really cut it for you when it comes to comfort and the present breed of off-road adventure bikes aren’t really your cup of tea? Well, you’re in luck as almost all manufacturers have realised that not all that wander want to get muddy, but could still use the ergonomic benefits of an adventure tourer format. In the present context, there are plenty of motorcycles to choose from including some very capable and comfortable sports tourers. Triumph themselves have three in their portfolio starting with the brand new Tiger Sport 660 going all the way up to the motorcycle that you see on these pages, the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro. The additional motorcycle is the A2 850 Sport that followed hot on the heels of the Tiger 900 line.
