Triumphs brand new Tiger 1200 range looks, and feels sensational, whether you’re a hardcore adventurer heading off-road on the TET (Trans European Trail), or simply a dedicated roadie, there’s a bike in the range for you.

Clearly Triumph have a certain German brand in their sights with this, so the question is….

What can the new Tiger 1200 range do in the real world to usurp BMW’s R1250GS/Adventure from over 500cc No1 spot?

Craig, one of the directors from Redee Motorcycle Tours (above), viewed the new Tiger on global launch day at December’s Motorcycle Live and had this to say:

“The new Tiger 1200 GT Pro certainly seems to have the touch’s and toys to give the mighty GS something to worry about, I love the look and the position feels just like my GS. But only an extended test ride will give me a true idea of how it may perform for me in my job”.
