2007 Triumph Tiger
Want one, want one, want one
And apparently I'm alone in this view, according to the MCN site. Current Tiger owners dont like it. A big tall traillie with road biased manners makes perfect sense (to me anyway). And I think it looks the dogs. Only thing is it'll be WAY too tall for me. I struggle with the SV! Better start saving! |

I run a Sprint ST, I didn't like the old Tiger but saw the new one at the NEC it looks good. The engine is magic.

It's the kawasaki versys that looks the most appealing to me for 2007. Out of the new bikes for 2007. I don't like to think I would buy a new bike, ever, but it is strongly appealing for a reliable, all round, all-purpose machine that looks goooood.
 Personally, wouldn't touch the triumph tiger, I've always had doubts over the strength of the engine. The trophy 1200 or the speed triple, oh yes.

The Versys is very ugly. But it's a good, purposeful ugly, and it looks a bit like Skeletor. Or this guy:
 The new Tiger, to me, just looks ****ed. The headlight and tank are plain awful, the rest's fine though. It reminds me of every half-assed streetfighter with a scooter headlight.

i love it and would buy one tomorrow if it wasn't for the 7.5k price tag and the 2 k insurance quote?
well as northwind says i might as well crash a bandit and stick a scooter headlight on it... might look sorta the same...
