    Well actually both, but in this instance I was meaning the mag, that seems to be offering a comparison of my three front runners. Even though the Triumph is really the only one I lust after :oops::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Hi to all
    I am a newbie to this site and also Triumph's in general, having just bought an ex demo Tiger 800 XRX with lots of extras.
    I have to say, coming from a Benelli Tornado TRE, GSXR 600, and SV650 before that, this is the best, most comfortable and enjoyable bike I have ridden.
    An absolute dream!
    Looking forward to touring and days out without feeling like I have been through the ring :)
    cheers

    I know the XRX very well as I tested it several times before deciding to buy my KTM 1190.

    The XRX is very well equipped, super comfy and more than enough power - excellent choice.

    Enjoy.......................................

    It was a VERY close thing between the Tiger and the KTM and Kitten won, but only just.

    The Tiger especially in it's latest 800 incarnation is a very fine machine.
