    I wrote this thread an hour ago erroneously as reply to Gary Prunty's Hello, but now it's in the right place I suppose?

    Hi all, I'm Frans from Sint Oedenrode, the Netherlands.
    I rode several bikes since I started my motorcycle hobby in 1980; in 2010 I bought my first Triumph.
    After an accident with my Tiger 1050 SE in 2011 (not my fault) and a recovery of more than six months I decided to buy an Explorer. With upgraded/improved suspension a perfect bike, but, on the square meter quite heavy.
    Then the new Tiger Sport appeared...
    My dealer, Motoport den Bosch offered me the opportunity to make a test ride of more than half a day. After 160 km, with and without pillion the decision was made fast.
    Now I'm waiting for his phone call for the exact delivery date, so no picutres yet....

    At the moment I'm looking for alternatives for the OEM luggage (GIVI, SW Motech....??)
    Any advice and pics are welcome!

    With regards to luggage look here I've heard good reports but I don't know if they do them for your bike
