Test ride a Tiger or a Street Triple during service?
Got Black Beauty's first service this weekend and have booked a test ride on a Street Triple so it'll be done by the time I get back. Should I ask to have a go on a tiger instead or stick with the Street?
In the words of Big Brother: "You decide".  DOH! Poll didn't work. Never mind. Answers on here please. Last edited by monkey; 09-11-07 at 09:59 PM. |

I'd be tempted by the tiger. Mainly because you'd have to break my legs to fit on the triple...

Well, I wouldn't, because you'll want one and never like your bike again. Take out a GS500 or a Virago instead.

 A shagged demonstrator/customer GS500 raped by a bunch of tw@s with no mechanical sympathy will remind you how great your bike is. On the other hand, nothing like a spurious test ride - Street Triple for me

The legendary Alvins courtesy bikes? "Hello, is that Alvins?" "Yes, how can I help you" "I've got one of your GSs out at the moment, and there's practically no oil in it." "Really? ****. Could you put some in please?" Surprised they didn't ask me to check the valve clearances too
