:025: is that not she calls her......oh......i think i will stop here!!

GULG good choice in bikes, ive road my uncles tiger 800, the non xc version and the engine is nice, and chassis feels nice but i just didnt get on with the front end (didnt help the front tyre was on its way out, swimmly wet and on londons greasyest m25 and some a road sections ive ever seen in my life).

Not to nit pick and Selina will agree as she pointed this out was the rear pegs/hangers are welded onto the rear subframe, meaning if you drop the bike they can bend and bend the rear subframe if you bin it biggesh style, where as most adventure bikes you can remove them or at least the rear pegs and hangers bend and can be replaced without replacing the subframe!!!

But as usual PICCIES when you get the bike:smilies1349:

and that..... is the reason I still have a proper bike :yahoo:

Went for the XC over the er,,, basic bike mainly because it give some potential, better suspension setup and more like the XT to ride, so suits the roads up here. But, the bike is firmly a road going machine. I can't imagine what Triumph were thinking when they put the oil filter behind the front wheel :tard: and there are lots of other giveaways to suggest it's *crashability* is somewhat less than the XT. If and when it gets some knobblies on it, then I'll deal with the rear hangers,, or the grinder will!

It's as if they just copied the 800GS without thinking whether or not it was a good idea.

I resent that.

They put a Triumph badge on it, so it can't be true:smirk:

If you're half as happy as I am with mine GULG, you'll be really rather chuffed.
