Hope your feeling better Kate, just back from 2300 miles through Germany, Switzerland, France on the new Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer, really like the bike especially the tank range, really one bike I don’t want to give back to Triumph 😂😂

[@adriangovis-cr8rs]

Really enjoy your videos. Just to let you know, the bike has Hil Hold, really easy to use and very effective. It also has a balanced brake system. You only have to use the front brake, it automatically applies the rear brake. Obviously you can use the rear brake if you prefer, but it doesn't automatically apply the front.

I really appreciate the two videos of yours about the Tiger 1200 GT Explorer. I have a 2012 Victory Cross Country Tour and really wanted a Honda Africa Twin DCT for the last several years but, after watching numerous video reviews of both, it appears the Tiger 1200 GT Explorer has edged out the Africa Twin in my mind. Thank you so much for the reviews, Kate. 🙂

[@UsernameKate]

You're welcome Stephen 😊 I hope you enjoy your choice! I've never ridden an Africa Twin so unfortunately can't offer any thoughts on it!

[@thatchh1]

I enjoyed the video. It didn't sound like you ever revved it over about 6K. 6 is peppy, but at 7-9, this thing becomes a beast! Give it a try some time. Also, when you switched to "Sport" I don't think you got there. Your display in the video is still on Road with a rider modification. Since this was a year ago, you probably won't be trying other settings again, but for those test riding one of these, make sure you engage sport, which will display a tachometer icon below the gear indicator. It really transforms the suspension and engine response. It really turns into a Tiger!

[@iainf6]

I've had mine for 3 weeks and yesterday it was unceremoniously recovered by the RAC and taken back to Triumph. The clutch master cylinder was leaking and the clutch was starting to drag. Not great for a brand new bike. It's also my first experience with Triumph. I'm hoping this is going to be an isolated incident because it was fantastic on the mini road trip I did on it a couple of weeks ago. Fingers crossed it will redeem itself when its been repaired.

[@billycaspersghost7528]

I know and ride that road ,some of those "tight ,bridgey turns" have caught me out a few times. This is maybe because the beauty of the place distracts and then up she comes. That really steep hairpin at 13:45 is a swine coming the other way ,uphill. We often occupy the same space but at different times, you visit the Yonderman Cafe ,I visit the Thee Stags over the road. Destined never to meet .Still I enjoy your stuff immensely. Keep on doing it ,tough though it will often be.

Outside the Peaks I like the Shropshire hills. An AONB ,nicknamed little Switzerland . Gorgeous.

Exactly, if the ride is great - most aren't bothered about the bells and whistles!

[@ADV-Rider-Dude]

Just so you know...you can start the bike before the screen comes up. It certainly works like that for me when I am in a hurry. The starter motor doesn't care what's on the screen.

[@UsernameKate]

Yea I know you can. I had a street triple 765 RS and would have to fire it up before the screen came on so I wasn't let behind. But I wanted to highlight how slow it is because as much as I love triumphs... for the price you pay, load up should not be that slow.

[@56Spookdog]

The hill hold would be a nice luxury to have. Maybe the camera makes the the road look tighter than it is but seeing the cars coming around the bend as you were approaching it raised my heart rate like I was on the bike… I think it’s an age thing. Hope the only thing spinning for you is the world and wheels.

I think im a GS girl at heart but I still have lots of fun on this!

[@benwells2338]

Ugh, I just can’t get over how sexy this bike looks. Ergonomically my 6’2” tall self requires more upright style sport tourers over the more traditional sport tourer body style, but I’ve never been a fan of the (IMO) dorky looks many of these sorts of bikes have. The S1000XR is also a very sexy looking bike, but that engine configuration just doesn’t make much sense to me as a long distance tourer. This Tiger GT seems to be my perfect bike. Would be curious to see how these bikes hold up as the new models start to accumulate serious miles and initial reliability reports start to come in.

[@UsernameKate]

I get you Ben! Hopefully owners will keep us updated in the future comments 😄

[@petervautmans199]

I have 59 000 kms now on the XR i bought in may 2020. All year, all weather in Belgium, when i ride, it's mostly 200 to 250 kms a day, no troubles, no worries sofar. About the engine: when you stay beneat 7000, it is actually a nice long range cruiser (7000 in 6th is around 150 kmh), Then when you get to the fun parts, you just keep it above said 7000 and it becomes a hooligan. That said, the Tiger is on the shortlist when I have to replace the XR, together with KTM and Multistrada.

[@benwells2338]

@@petervautmans199 thanks for providing your experience touring with the XR Peter! I haven’t had an in-line four bike before and so I just imagine keeping an engine lower down versus high up in the rev range where it prefers would be miserable.

I have just returned to two wheeled riding at 68. I rode a Lambretta and a Vespa as a youngster but that was 50 years ago. I’ve dived in at the deep end with a Norton Commando 961 Sport and as you’d expect, it feels like being a learner rider all over again {and of course it is). However, on the upside I live just round the corner from Mortimer Road and wondered what you thought of it as a road to develop my riding skills on?

Awesome video! The roads were beautiful for sure. I love the rock walls and tree lanes. I would love to ride that area. One of the best yet. Triumph definitely has a winner here. The sound of the triple is amazing and surely brings a smile to your face. Which is what it’s all about , isn’t it ? As far as price I think motorcycles are a bargain.

I have mixed opinions on the Tiger 1200, £18k is a bit rich for my tastes, too, but that said I haven't looked at the price of an equivalent GS, I expect it's quite a bit more. Just back from the Peak District myself, it's a gorgeous place to visit and has some great roads. I didn't do Woodhead Pass or mortimer Road but now I know about them they will be on my list for next time. All the best.

Sorry Kate. I know it is important for you to brave big bikes but if you avoid a certain route choice because “your legs are too short” you basically confess to being limited by the bikes height. What about situations one can’t predict in advance? Such instances could still occur on a route you consider to be safer. It’s of course still your choice to incorporate such risks but also your responsibility then, also towards other people. Don’t get me wrong. I am not trying to keep you from any fun but just want to point out the reasonable middle ground. Riding motorcycles must also always be about weighing the risks against the joys.

[@UsernameKate]

Yes, that is why I wouldn't personally own one. But to ride one for a review is a bit different :)
