Lay back and think of England

Did you ever dream of a chance encounter with a happy, young, British girl? She’d be playful, strong, and have a silky smooth complexion, a firm rear end, and the love of a shaft that would drive a man insane right up until he collapsed in an exhausted, pleasured-to-the-end heap. That’s what it’s like riding the Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer. British it may be, but it’s no bulldog.

From the ground up

The Explorer isn’t a new addition to the Triumph line-up. It was introduced in 2012 with a new three-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, 1215cc motor that was built specifically for this bike. What’s new for the Explorer is the spoked wheels. Previous models had mag wheels, and the new arrangement offers stronger and lighter tubeless units.
