Tiger Explorer Thinking Of Buying A Tiger 1200

Lots of fans of the 900 on here.
Folk like @Wessa @Raveydavey @Mark TGR9
I'm sure they can guide you

 

I've had no issues with the TFT but only had the bike since last may and it doesn't get left in any wet weather my brother has the 1200 and although he is bigger, younger than me has trouble getting his on the centre stand not an issue for me on the 900 and it is an accessory I'm glad is fitted to the GT Pro good mpg with a decent size fuel tank not anything else I can tell you about it really as I have had no problems and enjoy every minute riding the bike and have no intention of replacing it anytime soon
Maybe with the 800 sport or 800 trident which is a totally different motor to the old 800

 

Another happy 900 gt pro owner here. Its the best tiger I've ever had. ( I've owned most tiger models over the years ).

Tft screen is fine. Only problem with mine is the fact I've never got it to pair with my phone. Third world problems

I hated the original metzelers fitted to it. Not good in the wet and they tramline too on poor surfaces. A set of road 6's transformed the handling.

 

Have you looked at the specific Tiger forums?

Now i think on i have had some issues with pairing phones but that was down to the Chinese phone i had bought a Samsung and that cured that issue I have no issues with the Metzlers that are on the bike maybe I'm riding it wrong

 

Bit late to this thread. I agree to what the others have said. I love my 900GT Aragon, 2nd Tiger, had the 900GT before. On my second rear tyre, Tourance Next II, No issues. Had a slight problem with TFT being the fuel gauge would show empty, when in fact it was over half full. This happened twice, over two years, so not concerned. Good luck with your search.

 

I've changed my 900 GT for a GSX-S1000 GT last year and prefer it to the 900.
I went for the GT rather than the GX as I wanted more of a sports tourer than an adventure bike, and prefer the lower seat height and non electronic suspension.

 

@STIFFLER Yes it is indeed a bullet proof bike and torque and top end speed is phenomenal

 

Those gsx motors are bombproof and Suzuki do a good gearbox paintwork and some of the designs used to let them down saying that they did the corona race paintwork which imo was one of the best paint schemes ever
