Triumph Tiger for two up

Does anyone have any experience with this bike. Is this a good choice for US and Europe, for two people. We would do some off road riding but nothing very difficult. Is this bike reliable?

You should read Rocinates Travels report on a Tiger through North and South America. They did have a few troubles...

There is a link to their site on the Links page, and in many newsletters.

Generally conssidered to be a pretty good bike, but heavy, especially top-heavy, mostly reliable and solid.

If the "off-road" is merely an occasional gravel road, there shouldn't be any trouble. Pay special attention to keep the weight well down, don't use a big tank bag etc.

Should be fine otherwise.
