Nice review! Also an ex GS OWNER, have just bought a GT explorer. The handling through the corners is what sold it to me. It really is a riders bike, as you said.

That Tiger has a proper growl, love that!

Great review. Not as dull as the usual and very informative, thanks 👍🏻

That was a really good video to start 2023 with, enjoyed it !

Cracking video and review…. Thank you

Great review well presented video was surprised when I saw you only have less than 500 subscriber's keep making content like this you'll have plenty people watching

Good review Si...good wee route too...worked in that area for a good few years. Keep up the good work. 😊😉

I've had one since September and I love it. You nailed all the key points. You mentioned road noise on your GS. The stock Karoo tires get noisy at about 60-65 but they're a good balance between road and off-road grip. I'm gonna run mine out and then think about another option when the time comes. Nice review!

Great review! Reminds me of my dad from Glasgow listening to you! He’s not with us anymore! Looking forward to more reviews. Greetings from Vancouver Canada.

Really enjoyed your video. I totally agree with you when you mentioned running out of roads on a sport bike. I left my Rocket III behind last year for a used Tiger 800XC. I never looked back. I doubled my riding opportunities here in the Pacific Northwest US and never worry about getting my precious bike dirty like I did with the Rocket lol.

Great review Simon looking forward to getting mine 👍

Well done Si, you knocked that one out the park. A very balanced review on the new Tiger from a GS rider. Sounds like your completely smitten.

Having recently purchased the 1200 GT PRO and loving it. I’m now thinking of taking this out on a test ride, just to satisfy my curiosity. Enjoyed your review as I’ve tried the GS and the Triumph has my vote every time.

Nice video along with your GSA one. Good look with the channel

Another great review . AND a good description of the torque reaction at the rearwheel due to the T plane crank .[ which nearly all the motojournos don't understand ]. Hurrah ! Another string to your bow ! Yes , that IS the point of adv bikes for some of us . Belted Galloways ! Bonus ! I've fed, looked after , rounded up and cursed cows all my working life , so I enjoy a good steak from a traditional British breed .🐮 Triumph= tradition too . [long may it be so .] I can't wait for your opinion of the Harley Davidson Pan America . 🤔

Excellent review Si,the tiger will definitely be on my shortlist when it’s time to change the big German tractor,the triple engine sounds so good compared to the boxer👌

Loving the Chanel Si, great job……I don’t think it will be long before the GSA has to make way for the Triumph in your garage!

Great review of a luxury big tourer, old neighbour had one & I was always waiting on the invite to take it out- didnae happen 😢 Smashing looking bike with all mod cons

Great video Si 👍

Great review. Had mine for 9 months and love it. Did 550 miles in a day…fresh as a daisy at the end of it. Changing the geometry to compensate for the 21 inch wheel works. Watch out for the tyres if you get one. They go “off” very quickly and slide all over the place. Replacing them with Conti Trailattak 3’s as never go off-road.

Enjoyed the review a lot. Where is that cheeky bit of off-road? Is it legal for bikes? So short of trails up here!

Great video Si! What is your mic set up ? If you don’t mind me asking

I haven’t really considered the Tiger 1200 because I thought it would be quite top heavy. I was actually in Triumph Glasgow the other day to have a sit on the 900 rally as I quite fancy that one. Will be looking to change my VFR800 next year so will be doing a few test rides over the summer to pick my next bike. So far the list of possibilities is the Tiger 900 rally pro, the Honda NT1100 and the BMW R1250GSA, might have to add the Tiger 1200 rally pro to that list as well now. Although I’m struggling to justify if the GSA and the Tiger 1200 is that much better than the 900 rally pro to justify the extra cost. Any way good vid 👍

No one has ever shown that you can change the ride mode on the fly like the BMW, which was one of my concerns. Thank you for showing that! How was handling at very low speed?

Great review will be looking forward to your review of the 125 monkey bike

Love it 😀

The new Tiger 1200 is severely held back in the ride by wire tables. Sport mode, is similar to Rain mode would be on other bikes... Really holding back power and response...

Great review Si, well done. Really interesting bike for for me having owned the old gen 3 and now a GS rider. How did you find the weight? Was it top heavy as that was the negative on the old one. Sounds awesome and the Rally Explorer in that colour scheme looks great.

Great review and totally concur with your view, why dont triumph do their own thing, all this KZfaq comparison stuff reminds me of the VW advert many moons ago, " if you want a Golf buy a Golf" want a GS buy one. Want something different buy a Multistrada or a Tiger..horses for courses !. Just remember if BMW hadn't set the bar so high all these other manufactures wouldn't be as good. I do think Triumph missed a trick by not keeping the straight triple, why would you jump from a twin to triple that thinks its a twin !.

I've always loved the idea of a triumph Tiger sport....but I'm too short 🤣

I love my 900on and off road. I tried the 1200 but the difference is minimal and not enough to make me change.

Great review, sub incoming

If you would drive 9 out of 10 times drive on normal road..woud you go for rally pro still of gt pro ? And how you compare sport mode on rally and sport mode on gt pro ? Thnx

Is this the 2023? Because my 2018 Triumph 1200 Low is NOT an off roader at all. Great tourer, great around towner but, it's no off roader.

I tested the gt pro saturday and i have same gsa as yours and i hated the tiger

Adventure bikes are not just for the older folk
