Triumph Tiger 800 XCx
#20
I found the Tiger 800 much less boring for road use than the GS which would literally put me to sleep the engine is so boring and the bike all round just too utilitarian.

For the guys who plan to go off-road the GS is the better bike, but if you aren’t lying to yourself about doing that then Tiger all the way.

It also doesn’t set your ass on fire like the GS.

However one really odd thing for me personally was that the handlebars were maybe too high or too wide or something because the bike absolutely murdered my upper back and shoulder blades which I never experienced on any of the BMW’s.

I was very keen on trying the Tiger 1200 before I bought the RS but then Triumph here in South Africa had a change of ownership and after terrible experience with my Street Triple I opted to rather stay away.
