Triumph Tiger 800 XCx

[Grumpy Goat]

I put 40K miles on my '06 V-Strom. I'm not an offroad guy. The only time it ever left pavement was if I mistakenly went down a road where pavement ended. Then I turned around.

Hehehe ... kinda sounds like me, although I have watched so many YouTube videos of people riding offroad to get to really nice places for motocamping or just visiting, that I think that going offroad is calling me. I could not care less about the actual riding offroad per se ... all about the destination for me.

I do like the look of V-Stroms though. Was it the 650 or the 1000 you had? Sounds like it might have been the VStrom 1000 ...? The lack of cruise is a concern.

I just note in my above message when I said the DL650 was too much offroad for me, I was actually confusing the DL650 (which is a VStrom) with the Kawasaki KLR 650 - that is the one that I think is too off-road biased for my liking. Plus I think its ugly.
