Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer 2022

With the slimmer Tiger 1200, Triumph has now joined the ranks of the very best in the top enduro touring class. The Rally models also convince in practice with real off-road competence, the GT models with exemplary agility, both with power and sovereignty in every situation thanks to the three-cylinder engine full of character. It won't knock the BMW R1250 GS off its throne as the best-selling motorbike, but it certainly doesn't have to hide from it or other contenders. Our comparative tests will reveal whether it has what it takes to be the best "big adventure bike" of 2022. Especially since the cat of prey manages the balancing act between long-distance and off-road capability, which a touring enduro always has to master, really well, more in one direction or the other depending on the model choice.

Powerful engine

High-quality electronics package

Semi-active chassis regulates finely

Extensive standard equipment

Long-distance comfort

Excellent wind and weather protection

Agility

Better model spread between on- and off-road than the predecessor model.

Minor load change reactions on Explorer models

Blind Spot Assist not available on Pro models

High pillion seat restricts freedom of movement for sporty off-roading

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2022

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2022

The Honda Gold Wing is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. It may be sportier than its predecessors, but it remains a comfortable tourer at heart. There is no lack of comfort, the seat comfort is superb, the wind protection sufficient, especially on the Gold Wing Tour models with higher windscreen and top case. The electronics package is also very generous, but here the years since the last major update are noticeable. Gold Wing fans will still enjoy it, but there are more contemporary tourers on the market.

Smooth six-cylinder boxer engine

good sound - both engine and speakers

electrically adjustable windshield

4 driving modes

sat nav as standard

Electronics no longer state of the art
