Re: tiger honest views
Again I have the 955 and am loving every minute of it, I did take an 885 out prior to getting this and other that the seat being a bit narrower allowing me to flat foot at standstill the feel like very similar animals

Re: tiger honest views
I have had a 955 Tiger, 1150bmw GS and now ktm 950 adventure and can say out of the three the tiger is probably the best road/touring bike.
BMW was good comfort and fun to ride but a bit under powered, brilliant touring bike with a little off road capability, fantastic two up bike and good luggage. Very easy to maintain. KTM great fun to ride, seems like it will be good for touring but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. Real off road ability and very nice on road. Only had it two weeks so cant comment too much on this one yet other than to say Im loving it. Tiger was more like the BMW, big comfy and vary capable on road. More power than the BM so better for two up touring. Can be really good fun if you stiffen up the suspension, it can really grip the road and easily scrape the pegs on corners. I did 18,500 miles in 17 month of ownership and it never missed a beat. (black ones are the fastest The Tiger used to be the ugly duckling but nowadays the BM’s are so common you are more likely to get someone coming over to talk about the Tiger than a GS. Dogfart. |

Re: tiger honest views
Never had an early Tiger so no help there I'm afraid.
