Going to look at my first Tiger 800XC, any tips for what I should be looking for

[TigerInTheSun]

I have my heart set on a Tiger 800XC and will be checking this one out in the next couple of days:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/d/walnut-creek-2014-triumph-tiger/7298893831.html

It will mostly be used for a 20 mile each way highway commute everyday, but would love to explore fire roads and dirt tracks on the weekends and quiet days at work.

The owner just had a 36k service done on the bike that included valve adjustment.

Couple of questions...

1) What’s a fair price for this bike? It looks like it’s going to cost at least USD$1000 to add panniers ( which I think I’ll need ) so want to make sure I’m not overpaying for the bike itself.
2) Any concern about the mileage? I have a skewed view on what high mileage means having just sold my Goldwing that I put 134k miles on. [emoji4]
3) Anything in particular I should look at or ask about when viewing the bike?

Really really appreciate any help, this will be my first ADV style bike.

Thanks in advance!

good choice of bike, my tiger 800 xc 2012 had 5000miles on it with full triumph luggage including panniers and i paid £5000 in uk six months ago, but checking other bikes I did get a good deal.

forgot to mention I bought mine from a dealer

From the pics, it looks to have been well looked after and, in the UK, the equivalent of $6,500 would be a reasonable price in my opinion. If it has had got a full service history, with proper major services carried out every 12k miles, then there is probably nothing mechanical to worry about with a total mileage of ~39k miles not being particularly high. However, the proof is always in the pudding and it's best to take it for a good test ride to make sure everything works, especially the electronics, and there's no odd mechanical noises or handling issues.
