Tiger 800 Tiger 800 Advice For Buying.

I’ve just started looking into the Tiger 800, and after deciphering all the models available and talking to a couple of local owners on Saturday, at the dealer, it seems the 800 XR is my best bet, but I have a few questions.

Both blokes recommended the XR as most of my riding will be on road, do you agree? I’ve watched quite a few videos/reviews and one suggested looking for a second hand one that’s fully loaded so you don’t have to take the initial hit? He said that the 2015 models have more tech on them than the previous ones? The dealer here, not sure if it’s worldwide, said Triumph are offering free Givi panniers with any new purchase, up to about Xmas, worth about $1700.00 ( £1000.00). Sales ploy or worth a look?

Any other help and advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.

 

Thanks. What are the pros and cons of what you’ve mentioned?

 

Thanks mate. I sat on both models and the XR did feel better for me, and I won’t be going off road much at all. I’m headed in the right direction I think, and I think I’ll look at second hand ones first, see what’s out there.
