Well guys, the day has finally arrived for the official handover of my new Tiger 800 Xcx from my local dealership!  :icon_cool:
I went for the Caspian Blue, what do you think? Can't wait for the weather to improve a little & get a few miles on the clock!  :thumbsup
All the best, Mat-tiger1. 👍

Stunning bike. Look at that smile!  :eusa_clap
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

It's always special and you cannot be complimented often enough for your taste is colour.  :thumbsup
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Would that be the opinion of mainly BMW riders by any chance? :doubt :thumbsup

Hmmm. Glad I do not ride on your roads, perhaps??? Or is the build quality somewhat suspect???

Build quality is top notch, finish is best in class and materials and fittings are better than ever and that's saying something. I wouldn't worry about road ravages, with normal careit will fare very well comparably.
