A glance at the dimension table above and you will automatically be a little less intimidated by the GT. Now, I am 5 feet 10 inches tall with large thighs. The 40mm lower seat height on the GT did help me in crawling traffic or when managing the bike in parking scenarios. It was significantly easier to flat foot the GT. Shorter riders will appreciate the fact that the seat height can be set at as low as 810mm, making the Tiger 900 GT more accessible than a KTM 390 Duke.
The wide handlebars and sharper steering geometry make it a nifty city slicker. This seemingly gigantic motorcycle is able to squeeze through peak rush hour traffic like its an entry-level ADV, kind of like a BMW G 310 GS. Triumph engineers have packaged the motorcycle so neatly that you rarely feel its heft on the go. The only time I got the sense that I was astride a near-200kg motorcycle was when I was making sharp U-turns. Those with shorter hands will find it a bit tricky as well cause you will
What’s New?
Triumph’s Americanised Bonnie members get new hardware and finally run the same Bobber engine tune. Hence, on the Speedmaster, there is a minor decrease in performance; the 1200cc parallel-twin, 8-valve, liquid-cooled High Torque engine now produces 78PS at 6100rpm and 106Nm at 4000rpm. That’s 1.5PS and 1Nm lesser than before. Gladly, these were the same output figures of the Bonnie Bobber’s engine, and there’s no change to that. Nevertheless, this new Bobber tune has a smoother torque curve with over 100Nm on tap between 3000rpm and 5000rpm.
Hardware updates for both motorcycles include the same 47mm Showa cartridge fork and dual twin-piston Brembo front floating caliper. The Speedmaster gets comfier seats with thicker cushioning. And in case you want a clean solo look, removing the pillion seat and chrome grab-rail isn’t that much of a task.
Triumph will also launch a special edition version called the âGold Lineâ
Credit where it’s due, the Bonneville family has to be the main reason why Triumph rose to great heights, just like a phoenix rises from the ashes. Over 3,67,000 units of the modern classic series have been sold since 2001. When the entire product lineup underwent a major revamp in 2015, the Street Twin emerged as a darling for those who wanted the classic British twin experience but in a slightly modern avatar.
It has since gone on to become the most popular motorcycle of the bunch, selling more units than any other model so far. After the mid-life update in 2018, Triumph has made the Street Twin a lot more desirable in 2021.
