Triumph or Vstrom

[fallenarch]

Triumph is having some great deals on the Triumph Tiger. Fully kitted with hard bags for $19K. This is a nice bike but it did not fair well in a couple comparisons to other bikes in the class. Many of you may not put much stock in reviews, but I find that after the newness of the bike wears off you start to realize the finer points. If you are going for adventure the BMW 1200 is flat out the sled. Then there is the Vstrom that is only $16+K fully kitted. All reviews is this the Zuk is a sleeper bike but it's a Suzuki and they cheap out on stuff that reduces the bike to poor man's bike status in spite of great performance.

Anyone have experience with a Tiger?

Hey all, former Busa junkie going thru withdrawals lol. I traded in my 2011 after about 40k miles for a new GSXR1000. I do around 4 trips from SWFL to the dragon a year. The Gixxer was too uncomfortable for the 600 or so mile trip to the mountains. I picked up a Triumph Tiger, didn't like it. I...

I dunno about the R1200 anymore since I've heard about many rear drives going out of them....

I do like the new Africa Twin but they are pricy...I do know people who have over a 100,000 miles on their V-Stroms with zero issues so that bike would get the win from me.

A mate of mine got a new BMW 1200 a couple of years back , was pretty pricey , but he loves it and has done a lot of trips on it . BMW are getting good power out of that motor nowadays . Pic of mates , full kit .

My wife is liking the Tiger 800 XCA low seat version . I have gone over the bikes with a fine tooth comb in person , and the build is nice . 2 year unlimited millage warranty .

This is a 19 1200 low seat height. Very easy to manage . Plan on riding the demo bike in the next few weeks

I was looking at that in the 1200. I fit on the regular seat but then I tend to settle the suspension a bit I must say! The Triumph has not been doing too well on some of the reviews on youtube. But I don't plan to go off road with it unless the world ends and I have to run from zombies. But anyway, if it weren't for the transmission recall one of those would probably be in my garage now!
