    Hi, whilst I don't yet own a Triumph I'm hoping to soon and thought joining this Forum would help me to better understand the models. I've owned a 2020 Yamaha MT09 since August following a return to Motorcycling after an 18 year break. Whilst I enjoy riding the bike it is too uncomfortable for my partner which restricts the distance we can travel. We are hoping to travel the country and possibly venture abroad so comfort and luggage carrying are important. We like the Tiger 1200 so we shall see...

    Welcome, Craig. Bigger isn't always better but it's a subjective choice. Try out the Tigers when you can and see what you think. And of course let us know, too. :)

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Craig! How exciting to be in the process of deciding on a new bike. There are lot so members on here and varied ownership so I'm sure you can get some good recommendations. My personal recommendation which you probably already know is to do your research and then......test ride! :) The test ride part of making a new purchase decision has more often than not made my final decision a clear and easy one.
