V-Strom 650 or Tiger 800?
Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a second-hand bike to travel.
I already have experience with a BMW F650GS and a KTM SMT 990.
I am now deciding between a 2020 V-Strom 650 and a 2015 Triumph Tiger XRX 800, which would cost me around the same (6.5k €)
I'm based in Southern Europe and would most likely be driving in Europe, North Africa and West Asia.
I test-drove both already and, although I found the Triumph engine more exciting, I know the V-Strom would likely be more reliable and cheaper to run. On the other side, the Tiger seems to have better suspension and brakes as well as more power.
Would be great to hear your thoughts
