Triumph Tiger 800
What's the difference between the XCX and the XRX?
Been offered a test ride on these and I'm not sure what each one offers.

Re: Triumph Tiger 800
Test rider on the 800 XRX booked for Saturday lunchtime.
Review to follow.
There's a Kawasaki dealership next door, I might try the Z1000SX out afterwards.

Re: Triumph Tiger 800
Cheers D6.
I like the look of the spoke wheels But I'll never be going off road. Not unless I go through a hedge by mistake.
Blade, the kwak equivalent of the Tiger and the Tracer is the Versys, which looks crap and dated IMO. I wouldn't get one but I suppose that's what I should test to see how it stands up. I don't think it's the electronic features of the Triumph and the Yamaha. I'll ask them when I go to the kwak dealers. If I was after a second bike then the Z1000sx would be the one I would go for.
If I've got time and they've got the Versys and the z1000 I might try both.

Re: Triumph Tiger 800
The new range of Tigers are supposed to have a great deal of unseen changes to them. Making them even better. I must arrange a test ride. If I was to buy another one, which is very possible, it would be the road going version... sick of spoked wheels... ha ha cleaning them sucks and brings back memories.

I had a grifter, I also had those exact lights in the picture, and a Chopper plus a Budgy. Yes Darren a Budgy!Kwacky wrote:Real men had Grifters.
Poseurs and pillocks had choppers.

Re: Triumph Tiger 800
Ha ha I had those lights as well, I had a hybrid that I made when it came to bikes. I had a chopper, which I had extended forks on and a standard saddle, it used to win me wheelie comps against the next estate ha ha. 26 white lines was my record, I will never forget that ha ha.
