2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC, $5,500
Louisville, Colorado (near Boulder)
This was, and is, my dream bike but after 7 years of ownership I'm just not riding it enough to justify keeping it.
Here's my post from back when I bought it: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/new-to-me-tiger-800xc.194578/#post-2862296
Always garaged, and all services done at Foothills Triumph, including the expensive 24k service, new heated grips, and most recently a full service with new fork seals and a brake fluid flush at the end of May.
Fully Farkled, including:
• Bit-chin Stitchin Seat (its the company's name, censors blocked it without the hyphen)
• SW-Motech Quick Release Headlight Guard
• SW-Motech Brake Reservoir Guard
• AltRider Luggage Rack
• AltRider Crash Bars
• AltRider Skid Plate
• AltRider kickstand foot
• R&G Radiator Guard
• R&G Exhaust Header Pipe Grill
• R&G Rear Spools
• R&G Left and Right Engine Covers
• Rox Handle Bar Riser
• BarkBuster HandGuards
• BarkBuster/VPS Teardrop Bar End Weights
• Bags-Connection Tank Bag, Wired
• Bags-Connection Gadget/Phone holder
• Happy Trails Denali Panniers
• Stashbox Lockable License Plate Storage
• Track Stand
• Metal Headlight Guard
• Super Bright LED Headlight bulb
Looks and rides like new, with just a few small marks. I've never dropped it and always ridden carefully, but it has seen some road trip/trail/BDR use. I did tip over once, but that was while stopped on a BDR ride, in the sand, so it doesn't count, just embarrassing at the time
Tires have a lot of life left in them, but if I was headed to Alaska or Ushuaia I would probably replace them - otherwise I'd leave them alone.
Test rides with helmet, motorcycle license and cash in hand only.
Has just over 24k miles, likely to go up slightly as I give it a couple "last rides". I'll add more pictures after I have a chance to dust it off later today.
