So, I have been a lurker for the years since I owned 2 S10 bikes. A 2014, then a 2015. Extremely nice experience, but then I fell victim to the hype and moved on to a lighter Honda Africa Twin, 2016, then a 2018 Adventure Sports Africa Twin. Both, very nice, but heavy, and tall. Once again, I fell for the hype of the KTM 790 Adventure, so now I own the KTM, and a Honda ATAS. Now, I find myself falling for all the hype of the Triumph 900 Rally Pro, sat on one today and think it is perhaps an improvement over what I own now, for my taste. I can pretty much trade the Honda and KTM for the Triumph 900 Rally Pro.
I have read on here that others sat on the Triumph and knew that was not the bike for them. That was not my experience! For all the goodies that come on it, center stand included, I thot it holds it's own quite well compared to other offerings.
What I am looking for is more input on why the Triumph 900 Rally Pro is not the current absolute top of the line adventure type bike on the market, of course right behind the ST!
I know the ST has advantages, like shaft, and it is not smart asking for opinions of other brands on an ST forum, but I have so much respect for lots of long time amazing folks on here that I think it worth throwing it out there and see what happens!!
Whatever the responses, I totally enjoyed my 2 Tenere's, and totally respect all the long time folks on this forum. I certainly spend more time reading this forum than the Africa Twin or KTM forums, due to the depth of knowlege and thoughtful posts.
Thanks for any thoughts.
