The Tiger Explorer 1200’s price tag has increased over the years as its spec has also upped. The very first Tiger was £11, 199 in 2012, the updated model then pushed this to over £15, 000 in top-spec XRT or XCA guise in 2016 while the final generation, the 2018-onwards models, were touching £17, 000 for the range-toppers. Even more for the occasional ‘limited edition’ version (which was basically just a paint job and accessories/ luggage added on). Nowadays you are looking at paying around £6000 for a first generation bike and between £8000 and £10, 000 for the second generation depending on the model and its spec. Prices for the 2018 bike start at £9000 and rise to £14, 000 for an ex-demo or very low milage one in a high spec.
Power and torque
The 1215cc triple motor was brand new for the Tiger and it is a real beauty, delivering lots of lovely torque in a very smooth fashion thanks to its balancer shaft. Arriving with ride-by-wire as standard the motor was only really very slightly refined over the years with a bit of weight loss here and there and updates to its electronics. The revisions do make a difference to the feel of the bike as the last generation is noticeably more eager to respond but in terms of performance, the first generation boasted 135bhp with 89. 3ft. lb of torque while the final one claimed 139bhp with 90ft. lb so it’s much of a muchness. As a road bike engine it is really lovely to use and great for solo or two-up touring thanks to its abundance of torque
