If straight-line speed is your priority, the Tiger 1200 GT Pro takes the lead. With 46 HP more than the CRF1100L Adventure Sports, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days.

Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the CRF1100L Adventure Sports. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Tiger 1200 GT Pro, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the tiger1200 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
