Is this a 1200 triple or the 4-cylinder I've been hearing about? The triples are phenomenal engines. I just put 2000 miles on a Tiger 1200 Explorer - mostly in pretty technical mountain riding. Torque is HUGE and flat at all revs; above 6000 rpm the bike takes flight. But, and there's always a but, the T12Exp is a heavy, heavy bike and notably so with side and top cases attached. There were [url]hours[/url] where I was wishing I was on my 800R or the SMT. But it was a lovely bike in sweepers and on the autostrada. It handled beat-up, gravelly asphalt well, too. Scott
