Tiger 800xc for two up?
Hi folks. I am in the process of slowly getting my wife interested in joining me on a motorcycle trip. She's reluctant and cautious person, so whatever trip we do, we'll be two up. I'm starting to look ahead to a bigger bike for the two of us together. I currently ride a Kawasaki 650 Versys with mods. I'm 6'7" and 230 lbs, she is 5'4" and about 125 lbs. As I look at options for an adventure trip, either South America or Africa, I'm look at a Tiger or BMW 800. I want the bike as small as possible in engine size and weight, but big enough for me to drive and two up. My plan is to start with small trips here in the US to build up her confidence before taking an international trip.
What are your thoughts on the new Tigers?
