Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200

Not me guv. Trail type bikes just aren't my thing.

Not trail but rather dual sport. Adventure style bikes are becoming extremely popular for both highway touring and "where the pavement ends". I'll always have one in the stable
 
I rode one and found it very quick but the ugly bags just kill it for me. To much function and not enough form. I think the Rocket Roadster is the right Triumph for me. Indians fill the rest of the garage.
 
After the 2019 Iron Butt Rally, I will probably move from the Trophy to the Tiger 1200 (the Explorer name has been dropped). Have ridden a friends TEx several times and was a lot of fun.
 
had a 14 plate xc top spec one,loved it untill the balance shaft bolt worked loose and wrecked the motor 5000 miles,another triumph disastor ,said i would never buy another triumph but i did ,the rocket,then that went tits up at 6500 miles
never again.
