Il est impressionnant de voir à quel point cette moto parvient à faire le grand écart entre le tout-terrain et le hors-route, à faire exactement ce qu'une moto d'aventure devrait faire ou ce que l'on veut encore faire avec une moto d'aventure. Et cela avec un degré de maturité qui étonne pour un nouveau modèle et qui montre que chez Triumph, on a fait ses devoirs et que la Tiger 800, déjà sous-estimée, a été développée de manière judicieuse. Même si le sifflement typique du trois cylindres, moins prononcé, peut manquer à certains fans inconditionnels de la Tiger. A la question de savoir si la Tiger 900 Rally Pro est prête pour le voyage, je ne peux répondre que par un "quand est-ce que ça va repartir ?
