    I'm new to the forum but not new to motorbikes or to Tigers!
    I own an Tiger 800xc in white, which i've owned since 2012 ish. First bike after passing my test. Still look back at it when i leave the garage. Although have thought about a change over the years, but never have.
    Currently living in Cornwall UK where I've lived nearly 10 years.
    Although I get a garage to service my bike yearly, I have greased swing arm/ steering bearings. Changed pads, changed fork oil and smaller jobs. Drew the line at the tappet service though.
    I'm an enthusiastic amateur, Ill have a go if i can but won't tackle much more.

    I have some questions, but i'll save them for another time, once ive had a look at the forum in case they've been answered previously.
    look forward to reading the forum posts!

    Safe riding :)

    ps if i could afford another bike it would be a toss up between a Triumph Sprint ST or a Honda VFR 800 which must have the underseat exhausts!

    Hi and welcome, the 1050 ST is imo a much better choice than the vfr, although I’m biased having owned an ST back in 2010.
