Available as rally and GT versions and as Pro versions. Engine now has a 1,3,2 firing order for more traction.

I like it.

If the Tiger 900 pricing reflects the 800 prices then the top of the range GT will be close to £13k.

The BMW F900xr is £9500 or thereabouts. The beemer has a few more ponies as well.


It'll be interesting to see how they compare

I found a video with lots of chat, but they do start it and give it a bit of a rev.

It's on the list for next year.

Prices have been announced.

£11,100 for the GT and £11,700 for the Rally
£12,800 for the GT pro and £13,100 for the Rally Pro.

In this day of £25k + motorbikes, thats pretty good value.

Honda's Africa Twin
BMW's F900 XR
Yamaha 900 Tracer
Suzuki V strom

Possibly the KTM 790 Adventure

Maybe the Versys1000 but that's a road bike only IMO set up to be a long distance tourer.

I guess the Yamaha Tenere 700 too though it’s significantly cheaper than all but the base version.
