Default Re: The next step (perhaps?)..(bike choice)

You're never going to convince me that it looks anything but ****-ugly

Actually, two I've not seen mentioned, the CBF1000 and old Fazer thous? CBF seems to be in a similiar mould to the Tiger, maybe they had the same dad. And the Fazer, well, would have been an obvious choice before the CBF and Tiger. New one looks a bit cramped though.

CBF is no doubt a sensible choice but I find it hard to ride when asleep , and never liked the Fazer, it just doesn't look finished to me, but I guess that's why they make more than one type of bike, the TDM is still on the list as is the VStrom.

Another thing going for the tiger is the forks, although the internals are different to the speed triple, you can fit them in for a couple of hundred quid, so you get a sharper front end, just my cup of tea, haven't really looked at older stuff, that's another day.

Cheers Mark.
