Ive got one!

[D2NY R]

Isnt it strange how things turn out, I had a 2000 varadero and a 2000 Thundercat i was looking to sell both and buy one newer bike, for months i have been scanning blackbird and zx12r prices on Ebay.Then two weeks ago i went to my local Triumph dealer to view a blackbird only to find it had been sold But then it was love at first site as i walked past a new 1050 Tiger, what a cool looking bike i thought,got to have a go. Anyway 2 Hour test ride later im grinning from ear to ear! The only down side ... i had to ride back home on my tractor called a Varadero.So guess what i have in my shed now, oh yes a 56 White one and i defey anyone to deny they are fantastic little bikes, not that fast but really nice torquey engine and soooooooo light compared to the tractor!

Hi Sean,

Hugger still available? What make is it?

[allyw71]

Me too, a nice shiny new one in black. Triumph are offering £800 worth of accessories or clothing, so I got the race can, heated grips, handguards, taller gel seat, centre stand and power socket. Ive had it nearly a fortnight now and lovin it.
