TRIUMPH EXPLORER ANYONE OWN ONE

[Ishrub]

64000Ks you "might" be buying some other poor bastards heartache , or you may pick up a good one, its a bit of a lottery, you can buy one new and still get stuck with a time bomb,

A test ride, Tune ECU diagnostic plug in, chat to owner, records/receipts and their service provider would help resolve that. I bought my Roadster sight unseen on eBay with 59,000 and its perfectly OK mechanically, only fail so far a regulator, done nearly 10K since.

hanso have you thought about the honda africa twin, gunna test ride one next weekend, my only concern is the seat hieght

 

[HansO]

call me fussy but I want to stick to a Shaft Drive, and it is only 35kg lighter with less power

 

[keno351]

yep fair enough, i'm looking at the DCT model as i have nerve damage to my left hand and its getting a bit hard to use the clutch lately

 

[HansO]

great idea that DCT, eventually I see a lot more bikes using the dual clutch system

Big fan of DCT here -- my 2014 Honda CTX700D is so equipped, and made a world of difference over my previous ride Suzuki V-Strom 650 in city traffic.

Here ya go
A 245 profile for less sinking in the soft stuff. Higher sidewalls for better ground clearance. And all the traction you can ask for.
