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.
Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 был представлен в 2012 году как флагманский автомобиль Triumph для приключенческих путешествий. Он оснащен недавно разработанным трехцилиндровым двигателем объемом 1215 куб. см, призванным напрямую конкурировать с BMW R1200GS. В 2016 году он получил существенные обновления, в том числе усовершенствованные электронику и подвеску, а в 2018 году был значительно реконструирован, получив название Tiger 1200. Он получил более легкое шасси, полуактивную подвеску и более богатый пакет электроники. Примечательно, что это один из немногих крупнотоннажных приключенческих автомобилей, оснащенных трехцилиндровым двигателем, что придает ему неповторимый характер и саундтрек по сравнению с конкурентами с двухцилиндровыми двигателями.

Что следует знать покупателям
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.

Отзыв покупателя б/у
"A characterful GS alternative that rewards thorough pre-purchase inspection."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe 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.
