Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro On and Off Road Test Ride and First Impressions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2022
- The bike I was most excited to test ride at this year's Touratech Rally was the all new 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro. The Tiger 1200 is the newest adventure bike offering from Triumph and I've wanted to do a Triumph Tiger 1200 test ride and first impressions video since I first saw these sweet new adventure bikes at the 2022 AIM Show in Las Vegas back in February.
Fortunately, Tiger was cool enough to let us do both an on road test ride and an extended Tiger 1200 Rally Pro off road test ride at this year's Touratech Rally. Matt was our awesome guide for this adventure, and he led us on a lengthy street ride through some forest twisties so we could get a great since of the Tiger 1200 on road before taking us on a 20 minute Tiger 1200 off road test ride so we could get a really good feel for how this adventure motorcycle performs when you leave the pavement.
I came away very impressed with the new Tiger 1200. I was afraid it would feel heavy and have way too much power to manage, but I'm happy to report that neither of those things are true. It felt nimble and easy to ride both on and off road and I think anyone trying to decide Triumph Tiger 1200 vs BMW 1250GS would do well to test ride the Tiger before making any decisions.
Overall, my initial 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 review is incredibly favorable and I very much enjoyed this opportunity to test ride the bike both on and off road.

You have got to love the quote "she flies like a cow", Loved the review!
Looks like a hell of a machine. I definitely think I've settled into midsize bikes instead. Had a few of each and I always seem to revert back to the 650 range.
I like and appreciate these first ride/first impressions videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your input!
Great review.. if I was looking for one I would test it out after watching that..
Remember when 900 was labelled a big ass ADV bike? These bikes are cool, and have all the electronic wizardry, but as a 60 year old guy with a grampa bod, I want something I can pick up solo. I would only take this down roads. Gravel is OK, but not double track...
How about a 400# 50hp multi-cylinder spoked 21/18, well suspended bike for less than $10k?
I do miss my 900 the British racing green looked so nice next to a gs1100 and I think Honda should have stuck with the xlv750 miss it to
I am just about ready to commit to the GSA and here you are making me think about this bike again. Thanks a lot and Happy day
Best to try both. They have differing characters and for me the Tigers engine/ gearbox won me over.
Fantastic machine. Great looking scenery where ever you are also. Thanks for your thoughts
Thanks for watching. This is near Plain, WA
@@DorkintheRoad Plain WA (Western Australia)? Oh wait you were on the wrong side of the road. Umm... Washington?
Nice review. After watching so many of the big ADV bikes having problems at GL11, I was shying away from the 1200 bikes but it seems from your review this big bike rides like a smaller bike
I have a '13 Explorer 1200 & I have been waiting for a review like this. Especially your comparison to the Pan America. I absolutely LOVE my '13, and it is SO basic compared to all the accoutrements of the newer models. Now I think I have to go see if Cascade Moto has one in the showroom to test ride. Great review.
I know Cascade moto in Eugene has one because they keep emailing me about it
I just bought a 2019 Tiger 800 Xrx and love it! I hope one day they make a low version of the 1200 because this video makes me want to trade up already! lol
I've got the 800 xcx, its got all the power I need!
I've owned several tigers, since 1995 model. Very reliable IMHO. I often ride 2-up and long trips, and my TigerSport1050 just isn't comfortable enough, so it's between a Tiger1200 or GS13. Decisions, decisions.
Bike are like shoes the same dose not work for everyone . The Big adv bikes fit for guys like me who ride longer distances on road . Like this fall going out east to ride BDR which is 800 miles to the start and about the same Home. I love my GS for it versatility look forward to your review of GS .
For someone who doesn't get to test ride bikes off-road you sure have tested a lot of bikes this year off-road :)
I go out of my way to make it happen where I can ;)
I would love to see a video on a gs...if you get the opportunity it would be an awesome comparison between the 1250gs and the 1250gsa...I think you would love the ride of a bmw! Great videos! Keep up the good work.
I've got a hookup for one, just haven't had time to make it happen yet
It was nice meeting you at the rally Ben. I also drove the Rally Pro and found it to be a nice bike. I have a 2021 BMW R1250 GS Adventure so I’m not in the market at this time but I should have ridden this before buying mine. The bike that impressed me the most at the Rally was the HD Pan American. Did you test ride that one?
I didn't test ride the HD at the Touratech but I've done several test rides on it in the past. Fun bike but I like this one better
I've always been a fan of large torquey engines. I remember riding the old Explorer 1200,when I owned a ZRX1200. The engine was awesome but the bike had a very high cg.
I would love to try the new Rally 1200. While it doesn't have the whistle of the old triples, the induction sound is intoxicating. Nice job Ben!
The BMW fanboy club is rough. I can't believe this video has a 10th of the views that your GS vid has. I scrolled the comments in both videos trying to see if you compared the two bikes at any point
You are living the life this summer aren’t you....
I'm a very lucky guy
Oops sorry you answered that question about 15 minutes into the video Carry on
Interesting
Warning!!!
Danger to Wallet

Owed 3 Triumph’s which I enjoyed, but they just seem to keep raising the bar. Way to go Triumph 👍👍
If you had a choice between this Tiger, or the Honda African twin 1100, Which bike would you want ??
They're both bigger than I'd like personally, but that would be a tough choice if I were in the market for a bigger adv bike.
I haven't watched yet, but I'm going to guess it's "confidence inspiring"? 🤣
You can see the future?!?
@@DorkintheRoad I would love to see a new video about the choices of bikes at the skill level you are now.
What is the 1 bike you would buy now if you had the skill you do now and an unlimited budget.
You could add some choices for budgets as well I guess haha
I would have liked to have seen some more technical rocks...etc...
Me too, but I have to follow the guide on these test rides.
@@DorkintheRoad LOL...that explains it.
If you'd ridden thee Rally Pro that would have felt a little slimmer and lighter.
...this is the Rally Pro...
@@DorkintheRoad No, that's the Rally Pro Explorer, with 8 gallon fuel tank and a host of heavier extras like the upper protection bars, spots, heated seats, etc.
@@RichDunn that’s the one I’m thinking about with the 21” front and protection.
You've established that the Tiger is confidence inspiring. Would you say that the suspension and seat are SUPPLE? Interesting that Triumph makes you take a pee test before test riding. By judging form your samples on the handlebars you should probably drink more water. 😂 Kidding.
Supple is a word I would use, yes
Any plans to test the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R? Would love to get your review of it.
I wanted to ride one at Touratech but ran out of time.
It would be nice!! But it's a Shame! Dork could not!! ✌👌✌👌😁😁👍🤣😅👍 I actually hope .. he can soon !!
🏍️💨 processing the video, check back later? I must be the fastest finger on RUclips 😄
That’s what she said
@@ExploreAdventureMoto 🤣
Jealous
Great looking bike...way over priced in my opinion
Agreed. Too expensive for a bike that you're gonna drop off-road
@@unclebadger597 for that kind of money one could buy three bikes
Everybody just wants to be the GS …… ain’t gonna happen. Just wait till the 2023 new chassis sets the new standard for the next 15 years.
