    Hi, I am new rider, and new in motobike world. Did Ride 125cc since last July. couple weeks ago pass My Das test and after a long search for different brand of motorcycles, I fell in love with the triumph Tiger sport 800 tour in Cobalt Blue colour. As my first motorcycle, I wanted a sporty look, a good sound, and smooth throttle response. I was deciding between a Tracer 9GT, a Versys 650 Grand Tourer, and a TTS 660 or 800. Since I wanted a motorcycle that would last at least three years and be able to ride two up, I chose the 800. I'd appreciate any advice on how to properly operate my new motorcycle, including tips for a beginner. Thank you.

    Hi and welcome, you could consider some further training maybe if you're not confident with the operation of your new machine, I know some riding schools will take you out on your new bike if you have just passed your test to help with your confidence. Otherwise, I'd say just get out on it and happy with it solo before you take a pillion. Most of all have fun on it :).

    Welcome in, as Mrs V suggests maybe some more training would help you. One thing I'd suggest before you decide on your next bike is to get some insurance quotes to make sure you're not in for a nasty surprise. I use this comparison site, but others are available
