Tiger 1200

The last‘ old school’ triumph is revamped

-

What’s new? The existing‘ adventure tourer ’1200 makes way for a lighter bike with greater adventure ness, featuring a doubleside­d swing arm, styling taken from the tiger 900 and a 21- inch front wheel in rally guise. Power comes from the same size able motor as in the new speed triple, though tuned for flexibilit­y rather than huge wheelies. When’ sit coming? In plenty of time for summer. Bike’s opinion? The current 1200 feels previous generation, so it’s a welcome reinventio­n.
