New to the forum and glad to be part of the Triumph society. Always wanted a Tiger since 1994, loved the look. I finally purchased a new 2020 Tiger 1200 XCx Desert Edn. (Gen 3) in 2021 and love the bike. Have 11,000 kms on since last April/21. Although I have had a few street bikes since 1982 (Honda FT500 Ascot and Yamaha XT550) I have been officially licensed and riding adventure bikes now for 5 year, starting on a 2012 Yamaha Tenere 1200XT. What a difference the Tiger is to the Tenere, Caddillac vs dump truck respectively. Yamaha was a good bike with great snappy power @ 105 bhp, but the buttery smooth 140 bhp of the Tiger is sublime. Looking forward to many more kms on the Tiger.
