Hi all, I've just joined the forum as I'm on the very brink of buying a Tiger 800 but first I'm looking for a bit of advice... I can't decide whether to go for an XRx(Low) or an XCx I like the idea of being able to take the XCx off-road more capably (I'm told) than the XRx. The XRx comes also in a lowered version (helpful as I'm a short guy). I've test-ridden the XRx(Low) and it feels great. I'm told the XCx can be adjusted with a lowering kit but it wouldn't be as low as the XRx(Low). I notice also that the XCx comes with 21" spoked wheels, while the XRx cast wheels... which tells me that the XRx is really more for road use. So, how much off-roading is the XRx capable of in that case? Presumably that XCx is happy in both environments and is no less capable on the road than the XRx (while it seems the XRx is less happy off-road than the XCx). I'm tempted to go for the XCx and get it lowered, but spokes wheels worry me (punctures while touring etc). The XRx(Low) is £500 cheaper than the XCx. Can anyone give me their view on the pros and cons of each 'bike. What do you think? Regards D
