In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The F 900 GS and Tiger 900 GT produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 0kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Tiger 900 GT. Its seat height is 50mm lower than the F 900 GS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the f900gs if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the tiger900 if you want the alternative brand character.
