Triumph Tiger 1200

It comes down to where you ride. The GT is a better fit for riders who spend most of their time on highways and city roads. Meanwhile, the Rally version comes with a 21-inch front wheel, more suspension travel, and tyres suited for unpaved terrain, so if off-road riding is a major part, opt for Rally. 

No. Triumph put a lot of work into reducing weight on this generation, from the chassis and swingarm to the fuel tank material. It is still a big motorcycle, but it steers with more agility than the numbers suggest.

If you frequently cover long distances, the larger 30-litre fuel tank and radar-based safety features can make the Explorer variants a worthwhile upgrade.

The 7-inch TFT screen looks modern and feature-rich, but some functions require navigating through menus. The display also takes a little time to fully boot up.
