Surely with all that acreage they could have put warning/status icons etc in the same place irrespective of display mode? 2. Some of the info is unnecessarily large. e.g. TPMS display is huge. Fuel info is oversized. I tend to just prefer the simple display as too much info on the screen is distracting. In that respect I think it's good that Triumph didn't try to cram too much on the one display.

My bike is the GT Explorer not the Pro. The tank bag is SW-Motec. It attaches to a ring on the gas tank filler cap. If you go to my video about the mods I did to the bike, you can see it there. 👍
@@ttrguy9952 Grazie!!

Have you heard back from the dealer or Triumph about having a potential software update?
No update as far as the display goes but as I have gotten used to the new one, one click and I have what I need to see. Triumph now has a "Lowering" feature that is a free software update that my dealer will install. 👍👍
@@ttrguy9952thanks for the info! My bike is actually at the dealer due to a faulty battery... They delivered the bike and when I started it, the faulty battery error appeared... So had the bike for 30 min (the time it took me to get it back to the dealer)... I just called them and asked that they update the software at the same time 😎 Is it for all models, not just the rally pro? I have a the GT explorer
@@posdiver I think it's just for the GT Explorer. Ask while you are there. 👍
@@ttrguy9952got the update installed and it works wonderful. Lowers the bike just a tad more and that helps moving it with secure feet on the ground.
Flying out in a month from Chicago to pickup my 2023 Rally Explorer in LA and then ride her all 2400 miles home on Rt 66😅
Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍👍
Got to demo a 23 GT Pro recently & man what a fantastic bike. I was caught off guard how much I liked it. Now I’m eyeball’n discounted 23’s 😃
Thanks for the comment! You will not regret it!
Greetings from Ukraine) Nice video! I have the same motorcycle for every day. For the weekend I have a 2007 Yamaha Raider S. Is it enough light for you to ride at night and in bad weather? I don't deny the fact that the light on the Tiger is much better than on most motorcycles, but in wet weather at night you want more light. Personally, I'm thinking of installing Denali D7. Sorry for my poor English))
Thank you for the comment! The Main lights are the best of any motorcycle I've owned. The cornering lighting is perfect! The only thing I changed was to direct wire the auxiliary riding lights so they would stay on with the high beam lights on. Otherwise they automatically turn off when the high beam is on. Ride SAFE and BE safe friend! 👍
I will be up my new 23 1200 GT Explorer tomorrow. What is the screen deflector that you have? I would like to get one. Great video and a nice collection of motorcycles.
Thanks for the comment! The deflector is made by MRA in Germany and it's the X-Creen Sport with the universal mount. It's in my "Add Ons" video. Check it out. Ride SAFE and BE safe!
Nice ride. Can I ask what brand your windshield extender is and where you got it???

Best choice of bike for the day, no question, great roads to your destination too. Get that cable tie off the Thruxton fork leg will you, it's really annoying me! 🤣. Many more rides to come no doubt.
Terry thanks! 👍👍 Just think of the Zip Tie as a sexy garter belt! Actually I'm still fine tuning the suspension here and there. It's my obsession! 🤪
I have a '23 GT Explorer and love it as well. That's a nice ride up there. I'm in upper Manhattan and look for good rides like that.
Mine's a '23 also. It is the very first one sold in the USA. We spend every weekend trying new lunch spots far from home in upstate NY and MA.
I agree it's an issue. It seems like a software change could solve it. My Trophy SE can be configured with different info above and below the main display. The info button makes it much easier to look at different items with easy presses up and down. Besides the basic speed, RPM and gear, the info I want to see most is range and Tire pressure.
The last generation's menu bar was great. The new motorcycle itself is beyond the last generation in every way.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on a variety of gear. I checked into the Sedici Avventura. Quite a few comments about zippers there too. Plenty to consider. Cheers.
If there is any complaints with the Sedici gear, easy return to either Cycle Gear or Revzilla. Zero questions asked. That's why I buy in person instead of online. F the major hyped brands! Peace friend!
I mentioned in my video about the length of the start part of the zipper being short. You just have to get used to making sure it stays seated all the way down in the pull side. Other than that it's perfect. Ride SAFE and BE safe!
Good👍🏾 needs more color options though
I'm loving my metallic black. 👍👍

I sat on one the other day at the dealer. Havent rode yet it was raining. But think this is the bike I want. I have a 2015 H-D Roadglide. Getting old and that bike sure is heavy! Have you rode two up for any distance? Thinking this might be my retirement bike🤗 11:58
I haven't ridden 2 up but with all my gear loaded on equals a person on the back. Not an issue for me. Because the electronic suspension keeps the bike level, the handling stays the same. The Hill Hold feature works great when loaded to the max.
I see you like triumphs thats nice to see a british brand still doing well around the world i am british and triumph makes me feel proud that they rescued the company i have a 2005 daytona speedtriple conversion. Also i have a 1 year old gsa and bmw dash could be better laid out also triumph could surely do a software flash to re arrange the dash menus also the gsa dash is amazing but there is plenty of room to have more info on at the same time nice bikes pal
I'm pretty sure that no one designing motorcycles or gear these days has never ridden a motorcycle. The goofy choices they make is otherwise inexplicable. I have a Thruxton too and everything I need fits nicely on those two dials...well, I guess if I'm honest, I would like it to have TPMS, but I fortunately, I still know how to use a tire pressure gauge.
In the other reviews, the brake reservoir impact the bags when the steering is moved to the full extent.
Mine is not even close to touching lock to lock. Maybe they had the bag adjusted too far forward. Welcome to the internet!
@@ttrguy9952 it was adjusted all the way back, and touched st full turn. You never turned your bars like they did, so that's all I have to go on.
@@mlydick Mine doesn't. I turn my bars all the way when parking. No touching.
When doing navigation in some parts of the world having miles/KM displayed is very important if your using a turn by turn map....especially in desert areas.
Yeh, It's nice to have the mileage always there but there is an easy work around with the menu.
I have seen some bloggers with 1200 2022 with a slightly different display showing additional information on the right side of the screen....i haven't yet figured how they got to display....maybe a setting during PDI may be?
That is when you are in the menu mode. A selectable list of all the bikes features pops up on the right side of the screen.
I agree with the "Glaring Issue" . It is a pain to do all the scrolling. I still like to rid the bike though.
I'm used to the work around for the ODO now. Yes, the screen moves to the left and squishes to see the TPMS and Fuel status menu but I am also used to that. The display to me is perfect being very nice to read and simple. Everything else overshadows the display. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
How do you like the windshield extension? What model is it and why do you have it so low?
The wind deflector is made by MRA in Germany and it's the X-Creen Sport Universal Mount. It is a "Must Have" and it has been on all my Tigers. It is the best on the market. Because the screen tilts and can be moved up and down, you adjust it to where you want the wind to go. It looks low on my windshield but it is adjusted so the wind is going about a foot over my helmet with the main windshield all the way down. Check out my "Triumph 2023 Tiger 1200 GT Explorer Add Ons" video and it's near the end.
I'm another one that doesn't miss the odo. I don't even think about it. I DO have some dash dislikes though... 1. Display icons move around. Surely with all that acreage they could have put warning/status icons etc in the same place irrespective of display mode? 2. Some of the info is unnecessarily large. e.g. TPMS display is huge. Fuel info is oversized. I tend to just prefer the simple display as too much info on the screen is distracting. In that respect I think it's good that Triumph didn't try to cram too much on the one display.

I LOVE that Tiger growl, sounds much better than the BMWs boxers in my opinion. I'm definitely interested in switching to a Tiger 1200 next year but I'm not too sure if GT Explorer is the one I'd pick or just a GT PRO, I guess I'd need to test ride both if possible and then make my choice. Safe rides!
Thank you! Once you've ridden either the GT Explorer or the GT Pro, they are virtually the same. The only difference is the features.
@@ttrguy9952 I hope my experience is the same because to be honest - I'm switching from a street/naked bike (2018 Suzuki GSX-S 750) and I just wonder now how will I manage with the increased weight. Then again - I've watched plenty of reviews that the Tiger 1200 line is very well balanced and it just wants to be turned in corners. Can't wait for next season to get my hands on it. Meanwhile - subscribing to your channel and waiting for more videos! Cheers from Poland :)
@@DukeJohnny If you are going from a street/naked bike, you will be right at home on this. You will not notice any weight once you are moving. You can ride the Tiger GT like a sport naked bike and not know the difference except for the massive power. It handles like a much smaller motorcycle so don't let the size fool you. Triumph killed it with the new Tigers!
@@ttrguy9952 thank you sir! I'm super excited to take the Tiger for a test ride this year and hopefully purchase one as well afterwards :) It's so much more appealing to me than the german competition (said by a bloody Pole) so it's at the very top of my shortlist for the next and ultimate machine. Safe travels!
@@DukeJohnny BMW doesn't compare. Different league and planet. Keep me posted! 👍👍
I just got one. Clutch is slipping like crazy. Back at the stealership with 350 miles on it. Waiting now.
Great equipment choice, I would personally go with SW Motech Nylon Bags on the sides instead of the Aluminum Givis. That is when I get my Rally Explorer
I Have the SW-Motech side cases for when I ride off pavement days. They both have advantages and disadvantages depending weather you ride on or off road.
I want one!
A lot of folks don't realize how great these bikes are for ripping up miles.
How do you like it?
@@royhall3760 I love this bike! It's a blast to ride and handles beautifully.
Greetings from a fellow CT resident. Nice selection tion of rides. Just curious, which Triumph dealership do you work with? Mark's Motorsports maybe. Thanks for the review on the Tiger.
Thanks for the comment. Mark's is NOT an official Triumph dealer. Just check Triumphs website. I made the mistake of buying from them once. Never again! I buy only from Libby's and have done so since I was a kid. Family run and best of the best. Do you ride?
@@ttrguy9952 I used to ride years ago with dual sports and smaller street racers. I took the local MSF, and my skills are still there. Even on the loaner 250cc's, it was a lot of fun. I'm getting back into it but keep getting dinged financially and money earmarked for a new bike ebbs and flows. Already looking at next season. I've been to Libby's but it was not a great time during the pandemic and inventory was probably at its lowest. I really like the retro nakeds, ADV bikes after that. I suppose my target is the Kawasaki Z900rs. I'd like to buy new but it may expedite things to buy used. Honestly, I'd be happy with anything at this point with mid controls Locally, I would day trip in your area and have a good friend who lives in Goshen. Longer ride plans include visiting my sister in Western NC, the Finger Lakes in central NY, and then numerous trips into Canada. Anyway, probably more than you wanted to know. Heh, sorry🙃
I don't understand why you would constantly need to know what your odometer says. Other than for service intervals, or to post the mileage in an ad if you sell the bike, it seems pretty irrelevant. I think a lot of people are just used to seeing that in their car, but really...how important is it? Personally, I prefer a cleaner dash, without unnecessary info on it.
The huge TFT only shows Speed RPM and Gear. I happen to like an ODO right there in my face. I can watch the miles click off.
@@ttrguy9952 fair, I suppose, but with two trip meters, I can split the screen and display the trip meter I've never cleared...which is essentially an odometer at this point. I only need one trip meter.
I do like to know the milage, using the odometer, as I keep a log of the usage, costs etc. Using the bike for work etc.
@@herrevisser just flick the joystick to the left for your mileage info and trip meter. 🤷♂️
@@herrevisser All the information is still there except you have to go into the menu to get it. I'm used to it now.
Oh... that menu drill down is a real deal breaker. Fire the moron who has designed that
Thanks for making this video! I love the 2023 Tiger 1200. It's such a great bike. Great video!
Thanks for the compliment! This bikes a keeper. Ride SAFE and BE safe. 👍👍
Nice video, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how reliable Leigh Tryon tiger rally explorers are. I am looking into picking one up.
I don't know what a "Leigh Tryon tiger rally explorer" is but I think you meant Triumph Rally Explorer. The Triumph Tigers are bullet proof as far as reliability. Mine is the GT model which is more street oriented. The Rally is more off road oriented
Yes, the old Gen 3 information tray was very useful wasn’t it? But as you say, I would have to forgive it for the stellar improvements in all other areas. Looks like a great destination for lunch you’ve got there 👍. The Cafe Racers are looking very fine 👏🏻.
Thanks Terry. I miss the menu tray. Yes it was easy to get everything there. I cannot fault anything else on the bike. Love it! The lunch spot, AJ's, is legendary for their food. Best dry rubbed Cajun wings on earth! Yes I LOVE my Cafe Racers! The RR however is almost too ferocious and is not a relaxing bike to ride. It is all business and demands focus at all times. When I ride it I wonder how something like this is even legal to own as a street bike! I'm on the fence about it right now because of that. The only reason I want it is because it is beautiful to look at next to my Thruxton. Ride SAFE and BE safe Sir!
That’s nuts!!, it should all be visible on 20000 motorcycles !!!
There is a quick short cut to get there but I agree, I want it right there Old School Style. My Speed Triple RR is the same. Cheers
I'm curious...why do you need to constantly know what your odometer says? Seems like useless clutter to have it displayed all the time. It's only really necessary for service intervals, or if you sell the bike. And even for service intervals, you'll get a flashing wrench overlayed on the clock. 🤷♂️
@@Kevimoto The odometer is "Traditional" on displays. It's just a line of numbers and not at all clutter. The Tiger dash is 7" of wasted space only showing Speed, gear and RPM. When you put your key in your car, it's there "ODO" all the time until you shut it down. It's NOT there for only "Service Intervals", it should there for convenience on a ride. I like watching my miles go by...
@@ttrguy9952 to each their own, I suppose. I'd rather watch the scenery. I don't see it as wasted space, since you can split the screen and nothing gets so small that you have to squint.
Nice video 👍, I brought my new GT explorer two weeks ago, done 900 miles, very comfortable, and 300 miles in between fills, mine came with full luggage free of charge and I've got the SW motech pro tank bag, i went to test ride a bmw gs1250 adventure but the sales man was a dick so went to to my local triumph dealer and got the GT, they gave £1,500 more for my PX than BMW, can't fault the bike so far, fitted my tom tom sat nav as my phone is not compatible with the triumph app
Mine came with the side cases. I put the SW-Motech top bag and Tank bag on as well as the upper bars and the larger skid plate. Mine was the first GT Explorer in the US for almost 6 months. They changed everything from my last 2020 Tiger and it is unbelievable how much better it is. BMW got nothing on this bike! Ride SAFE and BE safe!👍👍
Hi. Loved the video. Test road last week the bmw gsA and next week the tiger explorer... Will be interesting to compare the 2 different bikes...
Enjoy!
Greetings from Scotland (again!), I have had a great few weeks of what is amazing constant sunshine here in the Scottish Highlands and been having a great time on the roads up here. I agree that the odometer not being obviously displayed and yes it would be good to have it on the Trip screen as that makes sense, maybe they will do an update that will provide that in future. I'm still shopping around for a nice tank bag that will look okay on the Explorer. Thanks for posting the video
Bob, Get the SW-Motech Pro series! There is no other tank bags that come close. They mount with a tank ring, don't touch the tank and pop off in seconds for fueling. I have their City bag. Cheers
Your bike looks black. Very good looking. I did not know they offered black in that line. I have only seen blue and white. Is that a special order?
No, Black is a standard color. Initially the bike was ordered blue back in March 2022 but I had it changed to black.
I don’t see a sump guard
It comes with a small one from the factory and covers the bottom of the crank case. I bought the optional one that is the same as the one on the Rally version. It keeps road grime off my pipes and adds a lot more protection. The GT models are more road oriented so Triumph kept the skid plates small. Ride SAFE!
@@ttrguy9952 sorry I missed that bit, lovely bike btw, I just bought the Rally Pro version 👍
@@MOTOUK1 Enjoy! ✌
My opinion for your camera is don't take my advice. I am still using a GoPro Hero 3, and will continue to do so until it dies.
I hear ya. With GoPro the Latest ain't the greatest! I've had them all and went back to the Hero 7 Black and it has it's own issues. Ride SAFE and BE safe!
I think I need to adjust the shutter speed and possibly see if I can find an #8 ND filter I think that will help with the lighting balance. Yes? No? Let me know.
