Tiger 1200

Triumph's Tiger 1200 combines a 147 hp inline-three with shaft drive — eliminating chain maintenance — and semi-active Showa suspension with electronic preload adjustment for a refined long-distance package in the big ADV segment. The Explorer variant's large fuel tank provides exceptional touring range; the 540-lb weight is noticeable at parking-lot speeds, so a low-speed test ride is recommended.
