Hi Everyone,
I'm planning to do some European touring next year with the missus (later life crisis) and am looking to get a suitable bike. It goes without saying it will have to have some off road ability and be able to take panniers etc although I may trailer it some of the way as the wife doesn't get the concept of packing light.
I've started to have a look at what's available in the used market at around the £7k bracket or less and am just getting more confused. So many variations of the GS range. Triumph Tiger XC's seem to offer value for money but I know nothing about them.
I'm really after any suggestions based on your experience of owning and running an adventure bike regarding reliability, comfort etc etc.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'll be at club night next week for a chat.
Cheers,
Murray.
