    Opinions please - Triumph Tiger

    Folks,

    Keen to get some opinions on how you find the tiger, how well made it is and how reliable it is. Appreciate your views.

    Oh God, now we have to listen to Sels bang on and on again. Sigh.

    Good bike, shame about the obsessive compulsives who ride them.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Err, sorry Sensei, it's the 955 now. Has been for some years.

    It's a tall bike.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    I rode with this guy who had one for a day. It had some crazy massive range per tank if he didn't thrash it. I can't remember what it was, but it was car like. WAY more than you'd want to do between stops. And it went around corners well enough.

    We saw some gravel too, he just zoomed off. I would have liked to have swapped bikes at that point.

    Hmmm... maybe, but it sounds like it holds the road a bit better than an RG150 ...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    oh roffle....

    Tiger vs RG150 down the coast side of paecock, smart money's on the RG.

    unless, y'know, I'm riding it, and there's a piece of gravel or errant cager within 15 kilometres.

    Mine's not. The Tiger would thrash an RG150 down there.
