Ian, I will NEVER make fun of you for being out of shape. Dropping and then lifting the bike up again is a great service for your viewers and I REALLY appreciate you letting us watch you doing it.

@AdventureGlide 2 года назад

Right

@sv650nyc7 2 года назад

Exactly, the lift test alone makes your channel a must watch.

@hagestad Год назад

It would be nice if it was a proper drop not gentle one but we cant have everything. It would be nice to compare it to GS since those are suppose to be pretty rugged compared to competition.

@paulocelso68 Год назад

Agree.

@kenscoots8177 Год назад

Good review Ian! One way to improve the "turn-in" slowness, is to poke the forks up the triple tree a little to counter the 21" wheel. Did that to my Tiger 900 Rally, ride mainly on-road.

@kawabungah20 2 года назад

This is, by far, the most thorough and honest review of the Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro on the www. You laid all the cards out on the table! The drop test, the ride on the new off-road trail and the on-pavement demonstration with the 21-inch front wheel were all very helpful. The things that stick in my mind are: the Honda ATAS is the value leader, the BMW R1250GSA is a more refined package for about the same price, and, for me, the Triumph 900 Rally Pro would provide everything I need in a Triumph at a significantly lower price. Nevertheless, this 1200 Rally Pro is an impressive bike, especially with all of Triumph's improvements for the new model year. It was really fun riding along with you! Thank you.

@craigh8810 Год назад

Theses videos have been super helpful to me trying to go from a cruiser the last 25 years to a more capable bike.(ADV). Was impressed yesterday with the tigers when I stopped at the dealership for the first time. Kinda felt out of my element and a little embarrassed, but I have to start somewhere I guess. Your straight forward videos are very refreshing. No BS. Some of the best out there.

@christopherg9806 Год назад

Good on you for trying something new! I switched to an ADV bike in 2018, after doing 17 years of sportbike touring. I'm TERRIBLE at riding offroad, but as you say, you have to start somewhere. Please be reassured, I (and probably most riders) wouldn't think poorly of you for being out of your element. It's great that you're branching out.

@Themotograndpa 2 года назад

Thanks for the great review 👍 I live in the uk and bought the tiger rally pro 900 that’s great for me did a few mods put on Azande exhaust sounds great now and it also made throttle responses little better 👍

@crisjeria-adventurerider124 2 года назад

Great video as always. Thank u so much. I have been waiting for it since I got my 1250 GS last year. No regrets so far. The low centre of gravity and low-end power make the GS a great option if you do more technical rides; you just stay in second gear and don't need throttle. I have the GS Rallye X, and the ground clearance is the same as the T1200. On the other hand, the ride position on the 1250 GS gives you comfort and stability, increasing confidence, it is easier to ride compared to smaller GSs and easier to pick up, faster than you need, and in my opinion, the Rallye colours look awesome!

@rickhanna2606 2 года назад

Hi Ian,long time subscriber and always value what you have to say,I watch alot of motorcycle utube reviews and one thing always screens in my head,that word is "SCOREBOARD"and 2nd is 40yrs,BMW has been making them for 40yrs,everybody tries to compare to them,when these other company's have a 40yr anniversary model then we can compare,until then gotta look at the scoreboard,your on the top of the scoreboard for bike and gear reviews,good job😜

@brucechilders1319 2 года назад

I purchased this bike and just completed 4000 miles, some dirt and mostly payment he is right on point with this video, I killed it a few times until i adjusted to it. Knowing about the high rpm vibrations i put foam sleeves on the grips and not a significant issue. Can't wait to get rid of the stock tires, front tire started with the road noise you get on some tires when they start to wear. I have had a BMW but not the GS so can't compare. I like the fact in off road mode the bike lowers down a couple inches. Thanks for laying it down and picking it up, first video i saw someone do that for this bike. Having a Goldwing I bought the Triumph tiger to discover the dirt back roads in Arizona.

Excellent review! I just test drove a rally pro 900 and 1200 in Fresno today. I am 2017 dct Africa Twin 1000 owner. I would consider the 1200. I did notice vibrating in pegs and handlebars. I loved the torque. I did stall out once in town. The quick shifter is smoother than my 22 Hayabusa. Thanks again.

@ZuminaZX 2 года назад

@oldtimer3824 2 года назад

This review makes me appreciate the perfectly smooth linear fueling of my 2017 Africa Twin - without any throttle or clutch AT can chug at 5-6 mph off-road and without jerkiness, then throttling up to 12 mph, shift from first into second, then without any throttle AT chugs along at 12 to 14 mph. But no cruise control on a 2017 AT? For 960 I bought and installed Mccruise electronic cruise control. I think my 2017 AT is my forever ADV machine.

@chrishughes4169 2 года назад

Great video as always man, One thing though.... you talked quite a bit about how it stacks up against the Africa Twin, I imagine because thats your current heavyweight tourer. I was hoping for more of a comparison with the BMW, but I know it was brought up frequently as well. Thank you!

@mentz8915 Год назад

Great review as well as your review of the GT Pro! I’d consider one but I’m in love with my DCT Africa Twin, nothing else like it 😎👍

@sethruter 2 года назад

Just bought a triple black 1200, watched and rewatched your videos and at my height this just felt right. Overkill? Sure but you only live once! Warranty is pretty awesome as well and the dealer worked with me, very friendly And triumph has 1k back and free paniers w mounts for april, no way i could have gotten a gs at this price and i tried. You have a great channel and the future camera girl is too cute!

@mikemills5144 2 года назад

Thanks for the drop test...note to self, don't drop this sucker! Overall an excellent review and great comment about leaving it in second, it will just torque along, even on the road. The one other point I will give the GS is the amount of accessories is massive, this just does not have anything available yet. I would really like to get a larger screen and some side racks but will have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up.

@paproplop Год назад

Thanks for your review! I test rode this model also but i felt that the 900 version is much more engaging and fun for me.

@creedm3040 2 года назад

Great review and honest thoughts. I remember in college marketing class the greatest compliment is when everyone is comparing themselves to you. The biggest thing here is the the Triumph triple. What a sound! All the ones you mentioned are awesome bikes. No doubt. I own a ‘22 GS primarily because the dealer is 15 minutes from my house versus over an hour for the Triumph or Ducati. Just makes it easier for service and its a great dealership. And its a great bike. Mine came with the Enduro Pro and Dynamic Pro so adjustment is endless. Enjoy your videos! Best!

@creedm3040 2 года назад

Probably because of my age . Please let the blade down on that quad. At least rest it on firewood. Just saying. Little safer. Just thinking about your beautiful little girl. What a doll! Best!

@skipole09 Год назад

Great review Ian, thorough and hits all the key points. I’m debating on a 1250 vs one of these (currently own a 1200gsa) and hear what you’re saying on the refinement piece..GS’s are so good, but sometimes the boxer motor isn’t quite as fun to ride as some of the competitors these days. This bike seems to be slightly more well rounded than the GS, but I guess it depends what you’re after.

@mikemerrill175 2 года назад

When the competition targets the GS as the benchmark, it’s clear that the best choice is the GS.

@kitesurfnutter 2 года назад

Everyone's perception is that the BMW is best. My physical stature prevents me from riding the GS. The GSA is a little bit better. but still not comfortable.

@kitesurfnutter 2 года назад

@Gnerko123 Год назад

@@kitesurfnutter why, are you too tall? You can put the same windshield, seat and risers on a gs that are on the gsa. Only remaining difference is that your legs are more spread out on the gsa versus the gs due to the larger tank.

@kitesurfnutter Год назад

@dennism665 2 года назад

Again, another great review Ian. I’m reviewing choices for the next phase of my riding and am leaning heavily toward the 22 Africa Twin AS DCT. I really wish they had a shaft like my Goldwing. The Triumph looks like a good choice, but those issues of slow speed jerkiness, for whatever reason, give me pause. And then there’s price. Still, a nice bike and thanks for all your efforts. Your reviews are best in class in my opinion. I’m sure the R1250GS is a fine bike. But I’m just not a BMW fan. They just seem over-engineered, and pricey to service.

@AdamLewis1 2 года назад

Excellent review - Thanks for all the work you do, Ian! I really like this bike but, at the end of the day, one of the things that matters the most to me is the incredible low-end torque from my GS. The difference is really made clear by the low-speed stalling.

And do I go into the man cave and go “yup love that bike “ and do you look back at the bike as you leave the garage ? My new GS triple black with all the bling 719 does that for me . Bottom line is go out and ride the bike you are interested in . No bad bikes in this category, enjoy whatever you have 👍

@joeybobbie1 2 года назад

Thanks again for another Great Video. I learn a Lot from your Videos, and watched your Videos with the GS1200 before I got mine. The R1200GS is just hard to beat Period. I love the Anti Dive front end on the GS. Also the Low Center of Gravity, and the fact that it doesn’t fall flat. I’m 61 Years old and can barely pick up the GS. There’s no way I could get a Bike up that lays flat. I have been riding my whole Life from Motorcross to Road Racing. I have never been more comfortable Riding than I am on the GS. I’m Disabled, and the GS is the only Bike I can ride that the ergonomics are so comfortable, I don’t hurt. I actually traded my Harley for the GS because the Harley made my Back hurt, not to mention the Heat. I don’t feel any Heat From the GS Engine.👍

Great review Ian.

@ridingwithmarshall Год назад

Ian, I want to say how much I love your videos. I can count on you to talk about the little things that make or break a bike decision for me. The Tiger stalls at slow turns; you're not the first I've heard that from. When I get nervous on a sandy hill and want to turn around, I don't need stalling anxiety too. The GS (and anything DCT) will win this round. Anyway, You have a gift for staying on topic with no script, and I stammer around pretty bad at that. You cover all the bases. If you are ever vacationing in Colorado, let me know, we'll ride. Two questions, and I only ask for an answer on one: 1. Have you had any issue with your GoPro only recording on 1 channel with the media kit? 2. What is with the urine-sample clutch and brake reservoirs on a Tiger off-road machine? I haven't seen something so cheap since my last V-star 950!

Love the head and heart comparison. That’s how motorcycles choices are made. Like you to revisit this video in 12-15 months and see the sales numbers. In all probability the GS will be the sales king and with the new 1300, it’s will seal the GS even further.

@asatti 2 года назад

Great review as always. Just a comment on the clutch engagement. It feels weird because I think when you let the clutch out it revs up automatically I guess to stop you from staling. When I tested the GT Pro I did not like that

I have the 1250 GS Adventure and I NEVER have range anxiety. I always had range anxiety with my previous GS. I do like that the Tiger doesn’t have the huge jugs(and not in a good way) that the BMW has. I also like the windshield adjustment much better. Another great review thanks

@jimmallery294 Год назад

The telelever suspension makes the BMW much more stable in buffeting wind like riding at highway speeds passing trucks. The triangle in deference to traditional forks makes it both very stable and eliminates any front brake diving. The feel on the BMW is that the front rides about an inch or two off the pavement. It is excellent for very long days on the bike coupled with the smaller front wheel that (as you indicate) tends to be better for on highway riding. The more traditional front forks on the Tiger are better off road but coupled with the 21 inch front wheel will cause it to be less stable at higher highway speeds when encountering windy conditions. I tend to view the 21 inch front tire as a detraction of the Tiger not an asset. Try at 45 mph (or any speed really) pushing the bars one way or the other and see if it centers and how quickly or if the bike just wants to wander around. Most of the time a 21 inch bike has a slightly different geometry to compensate for the larger wheel so what do you gain except being able to go over bigger off road obstacles easier. But on the highway the gain with the 21 inch wheel is almost negative. For long 600 mile days the BMW is more comfortable. On the Tigers asset side is the more exciting engine and better off road performance. As far as the off idle stumble of the Tiger that could be partly due to riding the BMW and being used to the almost perfect linear power performance idle to max, while the Tiger's power delivery is definitely more exciting. It does buzz some and some of the stumble off idle can be mitigated to some extent using different ride modes as the modes can limit how fast the power is delivered. You never really mentioned long distance high mileage days as a criteria that many adventure bike riders often undertake. You are also remiss in mentioning anything about two up riding comparing the bikes ride quality for the passenger. For a brutally honest review high speed interstate wind buffeting/stability and passenger comfort would be part and parcel of any large adventure bike review.

Nice review, thank you. I would like to know your thoughts comparing the Africa Twin with the DCT off road? I’m really liking this Triumph with that engine and the shaft drive with spoked wheels. I currently have the ATASESDCT.

New subscriber, new to riding. I bought a Yamaha bolt R spec this summer. I've realized your first bike teaches you a lot about what you want in a second bike. I'm becoming obsessed with the idea of adventure bikes for camping and road trips. your channel has been a big help! One stat I'd like to see more channels speak to would be total weigh capacity of bikes. I know its not a huge problem for most riders, but I'm a 300 lb former Strongman competitor, and it seems like riding 2 up might not be a reality on an ADV bike as many top out under 500 lbs total. doesn't leave a lot of capacity for the wife, gear, hard case storage etc. Surprisingly tough stat to find even on manufacturer sites even.

Welcome to the world of two wheels, How are you liking it?

@gingernaut2550 Год назад

@@jesseonamotorcycle Thanks! Loving it now even more than 2 months ago! Took the wife to a harley dealership, it was a set up. She was hell bent to wait 2 more years before the dream bike. So I convinced her to just come sit on a road king. They were sold out, but she really loved the street glide. Walking out she says " wellllll maybe we can talk about treating up next year...." wanted to propose all over again😂

Very nice review. Keep up the great work. I would readily consider this machine except for the following: a lack of Triumph dealerships in the middle portion of the USA. Honda and Yamaha have much better market penetration everywhere and, from my research, seem to have better reliability. However, YMMV, and this in only my view, anyway.

@benwells2338 2 года назад

Oy…seeing that drop test…it’s honestly giving me hesitation over the GT Pro model now. Plenty of reviewers have said the new 1200 feels nearly the same as the 900 in it being nimble and feeling physically slim. Put two and two together and I guess it only makes sense that a bike that feels thin would also lie flat when on its side. Thank you for including that in your review, I hadn’t considered that aspect in my comparisons.

@ohenrycooper 10 месяцев назад

I love the fact that everything you compare to the GS and the GS usually wins, hands down. Great review, this bike doesn't check that box for me. I will wait for the GSA 1300

@Desmo904 2 года назад

I have a feeling that bikes with Euro5 compliance are made so lean low down that stalling is a real issue. I know that Scrambler 900/1200 Triumphs fair much better once they are fitted with a 'booster plug' in the airbox inlet to richen up the lower end. This stops the stalling and also provides a low end boost. Great review (one of the best on this bike anywhere)! One thing that does puzzle me is if it's the Rally Pro model, why fit it with road biased tyres? Hello? Rally!

@larrylund1138 2 года назад

Thx Ian, another very good review and Vlog. Right now I'm riding a 22 KLR for my off-road fun and a 2014 R1200RT for my on road which I also enjoy a lot. I would really consider the 900 Pro if I was to narrow things down to 1 ride based on your reviews and some of the others. You really do keep things interesting with your knowledge and skills and video expertise. Thx Ps. There is a new 2022 KLR Clutch Switch Bypass Mod which makes the bike feel like it has been remapped and really improves the over all ride of the KLR. Maybe catch the Vid by 2TallTim Touring.

@ohTHATaaronbrown 2 года назад

I think your overkill comments are spot on. That's why I opted for the 900 Rally Pro. I get all the power I need from it, both on-and-off road. Weight was also a big factor for me. I traded a previous generation Tiger 1200 (the 2020 Alpine, which was the road-focused model) for the 2022 900 RP after I took a week long trip into the Texas desert with friends, and had to pick up that huge heavy 1200 multiple times while pushing out of my comfort zone in deep and soft sand. A 1200 gets exhaustingly heavy in those conditions. If I were going to spend more time on the tarmac than I do, I would go with the 1200 GT Explorer, with no doubt in my mind at all. It's hands-down the best distance touring bike I've ridden. But, given the fact that those paths through the woods and the desert increasingly call my name, the lighter and smaller 900 RP was the right choice. For me. I also agree with you that Triumph does a great job here offering well thought-out options that are tailored toward very specific types of riders, and there's probably exactly the right bike for whatever type of riding someone is contemplating somewhere in their model range.

I loved the suspension on my 900 rally pro. With the suspension and the 21” front wheel I was able to float over some really gnarly pure rock sections where it was uphill and I needed to keep my speed up to keep momentum.

Hi Dale ! How would you consider your machine for touring: what about noise, what about vibrations, especially cruising at 70/80 mph ? Thanks

@jeremymlucy 2 года назад

@@pascallenoir5917 vibrations are truly a non-issue at 70-80 mph. The revs are not high enough to get into the vibrations that so many comment about. And honestly, to me even in the high rpm range the vibrations aren’t much worse than most other bikes I’ve ridden. Certainly not as smooth as the older even firing order triples, but not near as bad as adventuring on my KTM 500 EXC-F thumper!

@richardd9976 2 года назад

Excellent review, thanks. Having covered 25k miles on an R1250GS, I switched to a Tiger GT Explorer a couple of months ago. As you say, Triumph offer a more tailored model choice, so I went with on-road focus together with the 30 litre tank, which suits my needs and usage. The Tiger is certainly a more engaging bike although in some ways less refined than the BMW. Horses for courses, I guess, but so far, I have zero regrets about making the switch to Triumph. Keep up the good work.

Do you ever miss the insane torque of 1250 GS mate??

@marcin76454 Год назад

One thing I have noticed comparing Triumph vs BMW is headlight is better in GS due to its automatic leveling. Although in Triumph is also some kind of auto leveling byt it doesn't work as good as BMW.
