TRIUMPH EXPLORER ANYONE OWN ONE

64000Ks you "might" be buying some other poor bastards heartache , or you may pick up a good one, its a bit of a lottery, you can buy one new and still get stuck with a time bomb,

A test ride, Tune ECU diagnostic plug in, chat to owner, records/receipts and their service provider would help resolve that. I bought my Roadster sight unseen on eBay with 59,000 and its perfectly OK mechanically, only fail so far a regulator, done nearly 10K since.
 
there is actually an nicer one down in Tassie in Blood and Bone with lower milage, but I have decided not at this stage Thanks
 
hanso have you thought about the honda africa twin, gunna test ride one next weekend, my only concern is the seat hieght
 
call me fussy but I want to stick to a Shaft Drive, and it is only 35kg lighter with less power
 
yep fair enough, i'm looking at the DCT model as i have nerve damage to my left hand and its getting a bit hard to use the clutch lately
 
great idea that DCT, eventually I see a lot more bikes using the dual clutch system
 
Big fan of DCT here -- my 2014 Honda CTX700D is so equipped, and made a world of difference over my previous ride Suzuki V-Strom 650 in city traffic.
