2023 Triumph Tiger 1200 Gt Explorer - Back of the Dragon

First run in the twisties with the new 1200 GT explorer. A little damp out, but man she rides soooooo smooth!!

The sound of the airbox induction roar is intoxicating isn't it!!

[@BDubHeadBonker]

Absolutely! It sounds SO much better than the previous 1200.

Hey mate…super video….how’s the power on this new 1200 …iam lookin at jumping to GT pro from my 800xrx 🙌🙌…..safe miles 🤩

[@BDubHeadBonker]

It is NICE. I went from the 2020 version of the 1200 Tiger and this new firing order is much torquier and she grunts something nice when you hit around 7k rpms.

Nice twisties and great t-plane sound! I found the throttle response a bit snatchy, very on/off, even in Road mode; what's your opinion? And how about the quickshifter, should be a lot better than the QS of the RT in front of you.

[@BDubHeadBonker]

Thank you and I agree, this new firing order has the engine sounding MUCH nicer than the previous model. I have to admit I don't use the quickshifter nearly as much as I should, old habits die hard. I haven't felt any issues with the throttle but I am no expert by any means! Thanks for watching.

Hi Fred.. I have the Rally Explorer version, and I believe some of what you’re feeling is due to the driveshaft. I’ve noticed the same thing on a GS I owned.. Sport mode helps the throttle response, as well

What was your friend riding? Driving me crazy trying to figure out what that bike is.

[@BDubHeadBonker]

It's a BMW R1200RT

Lovely video! Picking mine up tomorrow. Curious how you wired your Garmin and how much plastic I'm going to have to take off?

[@BDubHeadBonker]

Congratulations! You're going to love it! I wish I could give you some info on the wiring but the dealership did it for me at purchase so I am not too sure how much was moved around but they did mention having to remove the tank to run the wires. I have no idea if they were just stating that when quoting the time necessary to install the accessories and them anticipating having to do it, or whether they actually did. Good luck and stay safe out there!
