Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer's First Ride of 2024

This is the first Ride of the year on 3/3/2024. The winter finally ended here in Connecticut and it was a beautiful day in the upper 50's. With lots of rain in the forecast for the coming week, it should wash off the remaining salt and sand. It was great riding again!

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!

Thanks for taking us along. There is nothing I don't like about mine except the windscreen not quite tall enough. Another option besides the add on deflector is a screen from WRS. It's the exact same as the OEM but 2 inches taller. Cheers

Thanks for the comment! The MRA X-Creen Sport deflector on mine is perfect because of it's adjustability. I like my screen all the way down as I hate looking through plastic. I have the deflector angled in such a way that the air is over 1 foot above my helmet with the main screen all the way down. This is what you need.

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.

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.

[@ttrguy9952]

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 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.

[@ttrguy9952]

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???

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))

[@ttrguy9952]

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! 👍

Salve!Ho una Tiger Gt pro uguale,la borsa sul serbatoio che marca ?grazie

[@ttrguy9952]

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. 👍
