The Triumph Tiger 900 GT and the BMW F 850 GS are 2 carefully matched contenders.Published On Feb 27, 2023 07:00:00 AMIn the two years that I have actually owned my KTM 390 Adventure, I have actually clocked nearly 36,000 km on it, many of it being long tours throughout the country. I am now seeking to step up to a large-capacity road-biased experience touring bike. My concerns are cruise control, convenience over long riding days and a cost that hovers around the Rs 13 lakh mark. Please recommend an excellent upgrade that fits my bill.Farad Daruwalla, MumbaiAutocar India states: You could take a look at the BMW F 900 XR, the BMW F 850 GS, the Triumph Tiger 900 GT or the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport for bikes that fit within that budget plan. The BMWs are effectively priced and feature loaded, but the XR isnt as comfortable as some would expect from the gs and an adv features a 21-inch front wheel, which you might not have an interest in because youre after a road biased solution.That leaves the Triumphs and if you can make the stretch, we d suggest the Tiger 900 GT for the additional performance and features it brings over the 850. The Tiger is a quickly, capable and comfortable motorbike. Its a great all-rounder and if you at some point choose to do some off-roading it will be game to take that on as well.Also See: Triumph Tiger 900 GT review, test rideTriumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro evaluation, test rideBMW F 850 GS, F 850 GS Adventure, F 900 XR very first flight reviewCopyright (c) Autocar India.
