Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

It is impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on-road and off-road, doing exactly what an adventure bike should be able to do or what you want to do with an adventure bike. And this with a level of maturity that is downright astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has further developed the already underestimated Tiger 800 in a sensible way. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistling of the three-cylinder engine. I can only answer the question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the journey with a "when are we going to start again?"!

Three-cylinder engine full of character

significantly improved off-road capability

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

lavish standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and pillion

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability

Handguards not very robust for off-road use

flood of switches on the left handlebar

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.

Powerful engine

relatively easy to ride

30 litre fuel tank

excellent ergonomics

stable brakes.
