Wife and I have the more road-oriented GT Explorer, and took a 2500 mile trip on it to the Black Hills in September, that included long highway miles, lots of curves, and some dirt roads. The big Tiger is very versatile. The electronic suspension can be adjusted on the fly, and each mode can have this set individually, for however you want it. I had it set fully soft for most of the trip, but firmed it up quite a bit for the curvy bits. No stopping necessary to do this. Dirt mode adds maybe an inch of lift, and you can feel it make this change while sitting still. Because we were two-up, I had to be more careful about balance at a stop than I would otherwise. The bike has hill-hold that’s available while the kickstand is up. I was “meh” on this feature until we got stopped in traffic in a herd of Buffalo, and I wanted to take photos. It quickly became a favorite feature. Overall, we love the bike.

Got the rally pro since last April and have the same smile every morning 🤩 Such a big difference with the previous tiger Thanks for all your very nice vids Safe ride from France ✌️

This is equivalent to the BMW GSA…The road going version (GT Pro) of the Triumph has a 19” front wheel and is the true alternative to your own bike. If you get a chance, have a go on that too to get a fairer comparison 👍

I was going to say the same thing. Sounds like the GT line is more up MotoJitsu's alley. Either the Pro or Explorer version if you want the bigger tank and range, plus the blind spot monitoring.

Good review looks like a fun bike. The GT Explorer looks like the better bike for you with the 19" in front. More street oriented but you can still put on dirt oriented tires if you wanted to do some dirt. My opinion for more dirt might be the 900. Still good on the road but lighter weight which is better for dirt. There's always a compromise isn't there.

Well done video and you're sure putting in the work with these reviews

Glad you enjoyed the Tiger 1200 :) That's what I have in the garage, but I have the Rally Pro version (the Explorer you rode has an almost 8 gallon tank, whereas the Rally Pro has a 5.3 gallon tank). I love mine, and consider it to be the best bike I've owned.

I agree man. I was literally going to the dealer to make a decision on which color GSA to buy. They asked me if I ever test rode the new tiger. I took the tiger out, and will admit I was smiling the entire time. These are all subjective but here goes. First it feel like a motorcycle. The GSA is so refined that along with the sweet ride, you lose the feel of a motorcycle. Both bikes I tested had the quick shifter, tigers was so much smoother. I did test a GSA vs Tiger Rally Explorer, so the cornering leaning more towards the GSA in ability, but it wasn’t enough for me to disqualify the Tiger. The brakes were no comparison, the Tiger stops like it’s avoiding a hole in the earth! Lol. Lastly and probably most impressive… the sound. Holy hell! When you twist the throttle on the New Tiger, it’s extremely obvious that Triumph has a win in the roar department. The torque is there in all gears. I ride in 3rd or 4th at most in city. On the freeway, 5th is plenty high, 6th for maximum fuel economy. When I’m going 65-70mph, and need to over take a vehicle, I love to drop to 4th, twist the throttle and feel this bike fly! It takes no time at all to look down and see 90-100 mph. This is a badass machine .

Love my Tiger!!!

I like your review!! Although you kinda insinuated that its got the same power of the GS. Quite frankly, its got almost 20 horses over the BMW and you can definitely feel it. This makes it arguably better than the GS on the road. Ive test ridden both and the GS is only more powerful in the low rpms. Everywhere else in the rpm range it feels lethargic compared to the Tiger. Great video 🤘

It’s a bit disappointing you didn’t do a little more research on this bike… Triumph has the same bike with the street-biased 19” set up as well. It’s called the GT line vs the Rally line you were on in this video.

Sounds gorgeous

Would love to see you do the 'Harley Route' more often, that has a good mix of highway, neighbourhood, mid turn bumps...might help you get a more comprehensive idea of the motorcycle..just saying, this is good too.

My complaint with going 500 miles north is that you are going to San Francisco. Go east about 750 mile. Leave CA.

The saddle has two height levels. You are probably on the high level in this vid, and manually moving it down is easily done. Like you I'm 5'9", but on a 900 GT Pro. In the low position I'm very close to being flatfooted with a slight less suspension travel to deal with as well.

Dude I have this bike. You are putting too much on the 21 tire to be dirt. I never go in dirt and the Triumph Explorer is the perfect bike. From quick shifter to blind spot mirrors to 150hp . Sorry this is the perfect bike. The GS or GSA is right behind it but this bike is also 30lbs lighter. It nudges the bmw by a bit. 2023 no doubt.

How top heavy does it feel vs a 1250 gsa?

@NicePantsLance

Жыл бұрын

It's noticeably more top heavy, but if you are a taller rider then it doesn't really matter. The double edged sword to this is that the higher center of gravity makes the Tiger 1200 turn into corners faster and also feels much better in the twisties compared to the GS. If sporty performance is important to you, the Tiger beats the GS by a mile

Iam 173 cm 5”8 do you suggest tiger 850 900 or that one ?

You keep comparing the bike to a BMW GS, but it's really more comparable to a GSA. Maybe rate the GT Explorer against the GS

Does it have tpms?

What size tire is on the front????? But seriously, spend 2 minutes to research the bikes before leaving a review. They have this in a Rally with 21", and a GT in a 19". BTW, the Rally has superb road handling, much sportier than the GS, at least my opinion. I can't imagine that big an improvement with the 19".

If I'm travelling on a vehicle that size, I'd sooner have a sports car.

You keep comparing the Rally Pro to the GS. The more appropriate comparison (apples to apples) would be the GSA (which also has the 21" front tire and larger tank). Your GS would be comparable to Triumph's TIGER 1200 GT (smaller tank and front tire, cast wheels), or the GT Pro (confusing damn model names aren't they? I imagine you know all that by now.

There's brake dive, but yet it still brakes just as hard if not harder. The GS might have telelever, but the front end also feels disconnected with the road and slightly vague. The Tiger might be more top heavy, but it also tips into corners better and feels sportier in the twisties compared to the GS. The Tiger also has a better mid and high range, and makes gobs more power than the GS. Id argue that the quick shifter feels better on the Triumph compared to the BMW. The sound of the Tiger is arguably better than the GS as well. It basically boils down to what you're looking for in a motorcycle. The Tiger is the better performing machine if that's what your goal is. If performance isnt a deal breaker, and one is looking for a practical machine, then the GS might be better for that person.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE . The bike is a dissapointment .
