Water was a low as I have seen it 2-3 ft deep max. Still a bit slippy on the rocks

Adventure motorcycling is a challenge for those who go but only a dream for those who stay behind.

Not bad. Few niggles like the side stand slaps on every jump or big bump. Made worse today by the rocky trails.

Lots of drive on the rear. Does not spin too quickly if you keep a low gear. If you keep the revs up and use a high gear the back end can dance quite a bit and loose grip.

More to it though, I need a few more off road miles then I will do a proper review.

I found my 955i was similar to a big MX, Maico 500, CR etc, keep weight forward, lot of power which made the rear very lively and needed a bit of respect!
I've a Tiger coming home very soon so interested in this thread. Thanks for the info mate, keep it coming!
