What are you expecting from the new big Tiger?

The complaint against the current model is that it's heavy and a bit unwieldy with a high center of gravity. Personally, I at least find it much better looking than the GS.

What upgrades are you expecting from Triumph out of the 2021 model that is apparently currently in the testing phase? I hope the streamlined look of the tank on the new bike - and maybe an attempt to lower that COG - doesn't mean a reduced fuel capacity/range.

The bike isn’t going to change much. They are cutting all the various trims and opting for 1 Xc and 1 Xr model. Another thing that’s good to remember is that the current tiger 1200 is actually pretty fantastic. It’s lighter and better balanced than the older ones and is pretty on par as far as full size adventure bikes go. The GS and other similarly sized adventure bikes have similar characteristics when it comes to size and weight.

People love to complain😃

I imagine the 7 inch screen that’s on the 900s. Not sure what else really, but that the bike I’ll be getting, January 2021 :)

Not a lot... But it's laughable how these images get "leaked" or "spotted" They're always crystal clear pictures good backgrounds with fully kitted out bikes not at all disguised. As if there's an MCN reporter hiding around every corner with their camera on a tripod.

Do you really think manufacturers would want potential 2020 tiger 1200 customers to know there's a all new one coming out in 2021? And that they'd purposely leak images right at the start or the 2020 selling season? I don't...

Yup. People know they're on the way. Because they always are... There's basicly no way of hiding it. This way they drum up excitement and hype. Get to have people on forums like this critique and say what they like or don't like and litmus check what they're about to push out the door.

It's not rocket science is it?

Ok mate well I know 100% for a fact that you're wrong about that. Oh and by the way I dont know if you've used a camera in the last decade but you could walk outside right now with a smart phone and take a clear picture of a moving vehicle- no tripod required.

Oh OK. You said it's a fact therefore it must be a fact. Thank you interweb wizard.
