Hi Lucky,

I too live in Germany and have also a Triumph Tiger albeit a 800XC. I shall be going to the Northkapp in July with it but would also love to do the trip that you just made, super. As to the XC being to high ive lowered ir by 3cm and its now a super fit for me I can place both feet on the ground now. The XC can do all that the road version can do and more thats why I chose it.

Cheers

Eddie

Black Beast, Go for the XC I think that you would be better off with it than the normal 800, this is however only my oppinion.

So what is the overall rider experience with this Tiger??

There have been a few threads about this bike, the road-going version and the XC, over the past 3 years or so.
I would appreciate a summary of rider experience, perhaps on the lines of my post number 6 in this thread (which covers the points that are of main interest/importance to me):-
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...s-thread-65709

Such feedback might convince me to give a Tiger a home.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
