    Hello all, new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Scott. I currently own a 2017 Tiger 800 xcx. Love the bike but it is a little small for me. I live in Northeast PA, and am currently looking at a 2015 Trophy SE. I’m a little concerned since triumph discontinued the model, but rode one and it fits perfectly both in size and the style of riding I like to do. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger on this purchase.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the Family. I would be a little wary on buying a 2015 bike as Triumph seem to stop making spares after about five years of a bike being discontinued. Can't you adjust your tiger to suit. But then Triumph have a way of reintroducing models a few years later or something to replace them.

    Yes. The explorer is great but a little more $ than I wanted to spend at this point.
