In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The V-Strom 1050 and Tiger 900 Rally Pro produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the V-Strom 1050, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the vstrom1050 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the tiger900 if you want the alternative brand character.
