    Thanks for the welcome Rob and hello all. I am starting my biking experience and waiting for my DAS so that I can get my first bike.
    Looking to get myself a Triumph Tiger 800, but have limited budget so doing lots of research and scouring facebook, gumtree, ebay and auto trader! Any pointers and tips very welcome, I live in Plymouth and hope to be on the road in September all being well - wish me luck!

    Hi Joe.
    Welcome in, you might not get everyone seeing your intro because you've jumped on someone else's intro. Start a new thread and copy and paste into it, you'll get far more replies to it.

    Welcome to the forum :cool:
    Not sure what your budget will be but if you can go for a Generation 2 bike, 2015 to 2018 you get the advantage of switchable ABS, ride by wire throttle, slightly improved performance and fuel economy.

    Thanks Steve, Generation 2 are just in price range but 25 / 30k, undecided whether to go for a lower mileage generation 1 or the 2. Decisions, decisions!
