new triumph tiger

[sean]

yum! got a test ride saturday, and they do it in black! guess my transalp may be on ebay very very soon!

We expect nothing less than a full report with pictures, oh and a video would be good too.

And if you can manage to mislay it somewhere in my garage that would be better still

[shaneh]

its one seriously nice bike.... good luck with it...

[sean]

finally got round to a test ride. guess what i'll be buying next? what a superb bike! handles like a dream, although a little on the twitchy side at slow speed corners, brakes are like riding into a brick wall, really nice. .......and the engine, well, it was horrible having to get on my transalp to go home! whereas the transalp feels like it is really being hammered at 90mph the tiger is barely getting into its stride! just starting saving now!!!!!!!!!

As you are fully aware Sean you get much more for a bike in standard form - Those accessories add nothing to the value of the bike - just ask any dealer

So ... with that in mind - if youre taking it back to stock I WILL buy your crashbars I demand first refusal as I keep missing things I want in the for sale section

nice looking bike sean, I did think about it a little while ago but when I sat on it found it quite heavy and tall so i stuck with twinkletoes instead.

deposit down......... anyone want to buy a transalp?

[sean]

collecting it this Saturday!!! woo hoo!!!!! got a really good deal from Destination Triumph near Worthing, sussex. only £38 extra on the insurance for 10 months! I cant wait, I'm like a kid at Christmas! photo's to follow

well, collected bike last saturday from destination triumph and have managed to cover 1300 miles in a week! (i'm absolutely knackered) the transalp and the triumph really are chalk and cheese. the build quality on the triumph is outstandind, the handling & brakes are 10000 times better. the engine???..........power wheelies in first, 133mph with full luggage (once run in) 137mph without. brilliant, should have got one before. go and buy one, they've superb!
