Triumph Tiger 800 XCx

[Grumpy Goat]

The 2020 big V-Strom has cruise control, according to the website. When Suzuki was still bringing demo bikes to VIR, Kent and I were testing everything, I liked the big Strom, but noticed a typical FI neutral throttle hunting. That was really the only issue. Both the 650 and 1000 have great engines and surely are reliable, being the proven platform that they are. Thanks for all of the detail of your Triumph demo, GG!

Thanks Dave. hope it was useful. Yes, I was aware that the big VStrom had cruise but I think I am looking for something smaller / cheaper. These middleweight AVD bikes have a good reputation off road (easier to handle and more agile) and so long as it can keep up on the highway then it is probably the way to go for me.
