Hypothetically, what?

Looks nice in blue...

Looks pretty good in Jet Black and Aluminium Silver too. And as Jim noted, 06 model has mags not spokes. Factory panniers availible too.


Check out these guys http://www.thunderbike.co.nz/ in Nelson. They hire Tigers out. Before I bought mine, we flew over for a few days holiday and hired one for 24 hours. Went for a 2 up cruise over hill to Takaka and I had time to have some decent time on my own on it too.
Happy to let you have a ride on my one if you can't get your hands on one soon.

We did 700+km 2 up on the Buell today. 'Twas most excellent.

I don't miss my Trophy at all. I arrived home today in better shape than would have on the Battlestar. Less weary and without any numb bumb or leg ache at all.

Averaged same sort of speeds too.

I think I'd have to ride that sort of distance to find a demo...

And it's very much a like it or loath it bike too.
Quasi eg didn't buy it at all at first.
Some of them behave pretty weird with the Dunlop front tyre - some don't.

I agree with sels too - you should try a tiger.
Only thing wrong with them is they come with a very mediocre rear shock as standard, but stick a decent unit in 'tarse and some fork springs and they make a mighty fine motorcycle by any specifications - but it does seem particulary well matched to your nominated.
