Triumph Explorer 1200

The Triumph Explorer 1200 has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; Triumph does not officially publish top speed figures), produces 137 hp and weighs 259 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

트라이엄프 타이거 익스플로러 1200은 2012년 트라이엄프의 플래그십 어드벤처 투어러로 출시되었습니다. BMW R1200GS 모델과 직접 경쟁하도록 설계된 새로 개발된 1215cc 인라인 트리플 엔진으로 구동됩니다.2016년에 개선된 전자 장치와 서스펜션으로 대대적인 업데이트를 받은 후, 2018년에 Tiger 1200으로 브랜드를 변경하면서 대대적인 재설계를 거쳤습니다. 섀시는 더 가벼워지고 세미 액티브 서스펜션은 물론 더 풍부한 전자 패키지가 적용되었습니다.인라인 트리플 엔진으로 구동되는 몇 안 되는 대용량 어드벤처 투어러 중 하나라는 점에서 주목할 만하며, 트윈 실린더 라이벌에 비해 독특한 개성과 사운드트랙을 제공합니다.

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Early 2012-2015 models are known for throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle and hesitation. A throttle body balance service at purchase is highly recommended and fixes the problem reliably.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Tiger Explorer 1200 holds its value well compared to competitors like the BMW R1200GS, often retaining 60-70% of its value after 3 years. Its loyal Triumph following keeps used demand consistently strong.

Impressive Standard Features

Even base models include a full suite of rider aids — cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple riding modes — which were premium upgrades on rival bikes at the same price point.

Experienced tourers wanting character over German precision

"A characterful GS alternative that rewards thorough pre-purchase inspection."

$6,500-$11,000 used

The Explorer 1200 is one of those bikes that rewards patient buyers. Get a pre-2016 model and budget for the faff — they're known for burning through rear tyres, the suspension feels wooden stock, and the dash electronics can get glitchy. That said, the triple engine is genuinely magnificent. Smooth, torquey, and effortlessly quick in a way that Japanese fours simply aren't. Long-haul comfort is excellent once you sort the screen buffeting with an aftermarket item. Post-2016 bikes received suspension tweaks and better electronics calibration — worth hunting those down specifically. Always check the bevel box for wear, inspect the heated grips wiring (they corrode), and make sure the TFT display works properly because replacements are eye-watering. Service history matters here — these need regular attention and skipped services compound quickly. Used pricing has settled into realistic territory now. A solid example with decent miles and full history represents genuinely good value against the BMW R1250GS. It's not as polished as the GS, but it's more characterful and considerably more entertaining.
