TRIUMPH
2014 Triumph Tiger 800xc
My favorite and go to bike for adventure. This tiger has been adventuring from the get go. She was given to a Adventure Bike TV Show for a Special Arctic Ride, Once finished the producer like it so much he purchased it from Triumph.
Since then she has done more adventure rides until Tom (the producer) sold it to yours truly. The show did a excellent review of the bike which you can watch here.
