Currently riding a Suzuki V Strom but hoping to move up to a Tiger in the future. Came here to learn everything I can in order to make the right decision when the time comes. (And to do a whole bunch of drooling.)
Drooling is not a good look, and will not endear you to anyone!! So you'll be alright on here!! Welcome to the funny farm!
You might want to think of an open face helmet if you do too much drooling. I had a Tiger 1050 for a couple of years. A very underrated bike and excellent value for money. I've ridden several of the 800 versions and enjoyed them all. Strangely enough I didn't really get on with the Explorer. I found it uncomfortable and didn't like the fly-by-wire throttle but others tell me you get used to it. Welcome to the forum
