As an adventure motorcycle, expect a mix of road touring ability and light off-road capability.
Highway / longer rides
Range and rider comfort usually matter more here than pure track pace.
Good for beginners?
Power and/or sport focus make the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT a demanding first motorcycle. Newer riders should usually step up gradually.
