It seems like every three or four years I get the itch to sell my current big ADV bike. Sometimes it’s from a brilliant marketing campaign, a need for more speed etc.
Having owned a v-Strom 1000, versys 1000, KTM 1190 Adventure, BMW, S 1000 XR and my current ride, the S-10, I’ve tried a few. The S-10, to me, incorporates the best attributes of all of the aforementioned bikes.
Unfortunately/fortunately I’ve come across the triumph 1200 XE. Probably one of the nicest looking ADV bikes I’ve ever seen. Now I am debating selling the S10 (which I never thought I would do)and or selling something else to get one of these 1200s xe’s.
The only difference between this time, and the other times is that I am pausing to reflect on what is driving this desire to purchase the triumph. Likely, the only way I would pull the trigger is if I can get a last year‘s model for a really good deal, this may or may not happen anyways. I am patient and I am willing to wait for another year or so.
Would love to get feedback from anyone who has experience with the triumph 1200 XE. I am aware of the differences between the XE and the XC and the new X that has replaced the XC. If I was to get one, it would definitely be the XE.
Thanks
