2023 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer | BMW GSA Beater??

The new Triumph Tiger 1200 has been completely overhauled for 2023 and Ive tried the GT version in the past. This however is the Rally Explorer version with a more off-road focus, so the question is, what's it like??

you gotta love this guy's attitude: pure motorcycle riding enjoyment. He demphasizes all the boring specs and electronic gizmos. It's all about the sheer visceral feeling while riding that's it!

[daveo]

The most comfortable bike I’ve ever owned. Induction roar sounds great too 🍻

[elithegreat]

I have a 2023 Tiger 900 GT pro and I think that, bike not because it’s mine, but it’s the perfect Goldilocks type motorcycle. It does everything well there’s enough power and the triple engine is more than anyone needs.

Took out the 1250GS and then this…I ended up and still love the tiger 🐅 10k so far in 6 months it’s epic 😊

I had the older model explorer for 2yrs, lovely bike, handled well, brilliant distance muncher, went like stink when needed, pleasure to ride,
being 5'6" pushing it around a gravelled sloping car park in the mountains of Europe became a pain in the arse, so heavy, still miss it though

The Tiger 1200 is on my test list. This week I rode the new R 1300 GS, which was an utter disappointment. I think that I will like the Triumph more. Will be more comfortable to sit on for sure.

Great video Chops, nice to hear you having fun on this bike . Bit of a Mammoth machine I’m sure a lot of bigger people will love it . Not for me but I appreciate the quality and flexibility of the Tiger. Great review.

[deanharris]

I think that the Triumph range of adventure bikes are some of the best looking machine's that the company produce .
Great review again chops 😊👍

I bought one to replace my GS adventure which was written off, we did a decent tour from Scotland to Czech Republic 2 up fully loaded, the bike was great, superbly comfortable with a good bit more power than my GS had, one thing I did notice with the Triumph in Germany and Czech Republic there were many other riders who wanted to talk about the bike, that never happened with my GS, maybe because there are so many and this is just a bit different

Had a new 2020 Triumph Tiger Alpine. I'm 6'4" and it fit me perfectly. Very comfortable when it ran, which unfortunately wasn't very often. Thank goodness for warranties. Incredible heat coming off engine and tank in 30C weather. In 2 years dealer replaced fork seals, main wiring harness (twice), IMU modules, complete front Brembo rotors and pads, had to bleed rear brake when it totally failed on trip, starter motor, solenoid (twice, second time didn't even get out of dealer), and complete charging system including stator, rectifier/regulator and battery. Sold it and bought a Moto Guzzi V100S. 10, 000km this year and not a single problem. Beware if you buy one.

Nice to see someone standing up to the GS fan boys....

[shegocrazy]

The dash changes are actually animated which is why it seems slow. Really the only thing I don't like about it is that info moves around depending on the screen mode chosen....e.g. seat warming indicator is normally in the bottom left but will move elsewhere if screen is in different mode. A lot of the info panels do that. One thing that some don't realize is that you don't have to wait for the screen to finish loading before starting.

A chops video this morning, Moto GP this afternoon!

I own a 1250GS and recently test rode the 1200 GT Pro. The Triumph felt more nimble than the BMW and very comfortable. Goes like stink when you wind it up but it doesn’t have the lowdown grunt of the GS which I like.
I rode the previous 1200 and thought the engine was lovely but I wasn’t keen on the feel of the current engine. I thought it felt ( and sounded) unrefined. GS feels a lot smoother.
I know some love it but for me it puts it just ( only just ) behind the BMW.
If it had the same smooth engine it used to have I’d have bought it and not the GSA I picked up yesterday.

[CCooke-nmbe]

Wishing you and your family a great Christmas. Thanks for all your great videos. They keep me going when I can’t get out to ride . Have a super 2024 😄

[GCTO]

I am that type of person you mentioned. I want the seat higher. My modified Africa Twin now offers a seat height of more than 900mm and I love every bit of it.

[AndersPetersson]

Nice to see at least one model for taller riders, when most brands are going in the opposite direction. Don´t like the shorter distance between the pegs and the seat, which most brands offer. Tried a new Multistrada V2 recently, which was too cramped for my 190cm.

The lance shots are wicked tbh... worth it lol
