Y’all said go smaller, so I got a 450.
So I got a Kove 450 Rally this spring and yeah, it’s a way better experience than being on the Tiger 800. It’s by no means a “small bike” but it’s so nimble in comparison and it rips on the fire roads. So much of the 90ish horsepower on the Tiger is unusable off road for someone of my skill level.
The Kove is more manageable on the trails, rocks, sand, mud etc. Just a really confidence inspiring bike for someone with a lot of on road experience but not a lot of off road experience such as myself. I’m hoping to take it to Baja this spring.
