    I've just got a Tiger!

    As a regular on the Transalp and Varadero sections, I thought I would say "Hello" on this bit as I have just bought myself a lovely Tiger 955i.
    Picked it up Saturday and rode it back 140 miles home.
    First impressions? Wow it's quick!!
    I'm a very happy bunny. (Bunny, Tiger - too many animal references! )

    Nice one Sparkly, glad you found a bike

    As Lord Vader said pics are mandatory, plus I think a write up on what the bike is like, especially compare to the TA. I've heard the engines are brilliant.

    Thanks Guys. Write-up to follow (140 miles of motorway doesn't really give a good cross-section!).
    However, I do have a pic: (otherwise Sharrie'll be after me no doubt!!)
    More to follow.

    As you say, they're quick. Enjoy it!

    At the risk of starting an off-topic debate, I'm not sure a 1050 Tiger is a step up. It's a step in a completely different direction. Not sure (other than for marketing reasons) why they called the 1050 a Tiger.
