Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer - review after 36000 kilometer around the world 

Thanks for posting, I really like what Triumph is doing with their adventure bikes.

Great to someone getting in the real world technical details of an adventure bike based on experience. It was certainly very informative! Subscribed!

I absolutely love mine as well. Had to replace the starter solenoid at about 7K miles, but was covered under warranty. I have over 11K miles on it now. Great machine. Thanks for sharing your video!

I thought your video really emphasized the dynamics of the wheel sizes compared to the GS. Die hard Beemer fans will always pick the GS but I like the Triumph. A little fork dive is what I'm used too anyway, it's just a big motorcycle is all. Yeah what a monster of a machine.

Great review! I'm happy to hear there were no issues so far - happy for you but also for me thinking of buying the tiger. The review is so detailed and to the point - again thank you! Enjoy your trip and ride safe!

Safe travels. I chanced upon your video while searching for courage to ride a friend's Tiger explorer on a joyride. Your video helped. Cheers.

I'm glad to hear no issues while doing mostly off road. So far, for me, I've done over 10,000 miles/16,090 km in roughly 6 months. This was mostly roads/highway with an occasional gravel road or hunting trail. The stock tires had plenty of meat on them but I exchanged the metzlers for the Dunlop Trailmax. Much less noise on the Dunlop. Other than that, the only issue I have is the key fob does not like the cold. I installed highway pegs from Altrider and that helped me prolong the daily miles. The bike battery handles all my heated accessories, chargers, etc. very well in the cold. I have been very impressed with my Tiger especially as it is my first Triumph.

Perfect my friend! Nice roads to you!

Wonderful adventure! I have the GT Explorer and l think you nailed the comments. Mine has become my daily driver around town. Once you become "one with the clutch" it's surprisingly easy to drive around town, perfect for my daily Weed and Feed run.

Just came across this channel, just wholesome stuff. Keep living life, keep exploring. Would really love and appreciate more of your story

Great Review of the big Tiger! Spot on! I love mine just a great motorbike. Be safe in your travels.

Liked and subscribed. Will check your other videos now. Question. How is it in slow speed manouvering? Slow speed u-turns? Cone driving? Cheers from a Swede in Mexico

Thank you for the great review. Awesome job!

Such informative video 🫡🙌 And everything is explained so basically yet so technically 💯 And an honest review …. Cheers to new sub 🎉

Great review of all the points of interest. I'm looking at getting this same model...soon

Thanks for video🤝

Thanks very informative. Thats quite a journey.

Great review! I think the problem is that many people are not very conscious about what they are riding and then start complaining about the things such shaft, vibrations etc and also they got used to something like in line 4 and then swap that for v2, on top of that our preferences so when you change one of those then you will complain this is why i never bother about others complaints and find out myself, stay safe mate

Great review! I own the rally pro model. This motorcycle is very special if you know what you are looking for. Clutch bleeding and clutch fluid replacement is now essential in the form of a recall from Triumph. All tigers shall do this at their next visit at the dealership for free.

Well done, Sir! 😊

Great review, Jörg! By the way, you´re very welcome to Brazil and I hope you enjoy your journey in our country. As rider, keep away of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro capital city and metropolitan area for matter of safety. There, Maxitrail or Bigtrail are loved by the thugs. Safe ride, mate! Cheers

So refreshing to hear someone loving tiger over gs. I have them in my "next bike" section, and I am tossing back and forth from one to another (I like the tiger looks more, I ride a smaller tiger now, but reviewers are like GS GS GS GS). Great video, enjoy your freedom on two wheels!

I can confirm everthing he says , I have the same bike, just come back from West Africa travel with 30k, the roads are far worse then Pan America(have been there). The bike performed exelend, We were 2up, masive overloaded, so in the desert of Namibia the rear suspensen leaked.

Great review after 30,000+ km's! I own the same bike and am hoping to travel many km's as well. I will be traveling with my wife and seeing you and your wife on the bike influenced my decision on the purchase. As there are very few videos of the Pillions review of their comfort and experience on the back, can you give some insight there? Cheers from Canada!

I have a few questions on wind and weather management. How is the wind noise and how much upper body wind are you getting at speeds 110kph and higher? During heavy rain how dry are you staying?

Schöne Grüße aus Amerika, tolle Reise!

Great review as I owned a GS prior. Can’t get an air filter for mine here in Australia. I’m at 28k km so far and my only complaint is the air getting into the clutch (bled 3 times) 🍻

Looks amazing. No clutch issues for me yet, but I've not got the KLMs up that you have.

No issues with running through the suspension travel and bottoming out?

Hello. Thank you for your video. It's very great emotionally and in informative. I am thinking very much about Tiger 1200 GT Explorer and Ducati Multistrada V4S. So my question is how is during high speed long roads? What is it like in case of wind protection? I agree with all you saying and especially that the bike sounds great. When I testrided Tiger 1200 it was enormous amount of fun reving it up from low RPM but I've spent almost all of my testride in town and had no chance to ride it on any decent speed like more then 60mph for at least 20 minutes or longer just to know if it is good in terms of high speed long trips across here in Europe. I wish you the best and once again thank you for your video! One more interesting fact. I search for vids like Tiger 1200 problems and see no complains from people except "the screen lacks of some info". It seems like it's not popular enough or it's really so great

Great review off the bike. I currently have a 2017. I bought this bike last year with 4k on it, currently at 29k and I love the bike, not one issue. I plan on buying a 2023 soon. My biggest complaint is the cost of a valve check. Local dealer quoted for my bike $1200 to $1800 for the service. Checking the valves is not that hard but pulling the cams to adjust is beyond my skills. I rode from AZ to Tn so a friend who is a true MC mechanic could help me. All was in spec at 27k. My question is, how much was the valve check? where did you get it done? and were they in spec? I look forward to watching your other videos.

I’ve tested it and shaft knocking was very annoying, especially riding in town traffic

Vibrationen bei 5000?

4:42, says the guy who recently owned a Yamaha MT-01!

Avoid traveling to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro in Brazil if you want to keep your motorcycle safe. Instead, consider visiting the southern states, such as Mato Grosso, Distrito Federal, Goias, and Minas Gerais. 🔰
