    Hi. I'm a newbie to forums in general. I've been riding since I was 16... a lifetime ago!
    I'm an ADI, DAS/CBT bike instructor, DIA examiner for car and bike for advanced riding and driving. I'm still learning like everyone else!
    My last bike, a 1300 pan, I had for 15yrs. I've got a tiger explorer XRT now and it's been fantastic (8 wks ago). Thought I should find out others thoughts...

    Hi and welcome. Bit of a change there from the Pan to the Explorer........ I'm sure your experience will be of great value on the forum.

    Finding the time to logon is hard work at the moment!

    Absolutely, it took me a long time to find something that does the job for me. (15yrs I had the pan). I dare say if Honda had updated it I may have went down that road. The explorer XRT has a cracking engine and all the bells and whistles. It handles great, even with the higher centre of gravity it slow controls without issue. I think time will tell if it meets my expectations!
