Yep, both pretty ugly. Point of the CBF pic was that they look so similiar, but only one looks like it's been melted.

I used to say that I wished someone would make a proper big trailie for the road- road tyres, road suspension, basically just a big comfy road bike- since probably 19/20 big trailies never go further offroad than you could take an SV. Then, Triumph did it and I realised my flaw- you might as well just make a big comfy road bike that doesn't look like a trailie at all, that way it won't be so stupidly tall. And they already make one of those. I can't see any benefit to the Tiger over the Sprint, unless you're very very tall, or you fall off all the time.

Anyway. Cloggsy, get a Mille.

I saw one in the flesh this very morning. Pulled up beside me and gave me a little wave and all.

I have to say... they do look pretty smart in the flesh.

And sound nice.

Meaty.

So would I actually. I didnt really even like the way the Mille looked... till I saw it.
It definately works.

This is a good kind of dilema to be in though.
