    Are the T400 Tigers any good?



    Are they any good?

    I've already learnt that there are issues with the generator bolts working loose or snapping their heads off.

    But they are cheap, a lot cheaper than the @'s, so it might be worth a try 'cause I can't seem to find a well kept RD04.

    Edit:

    Or then maybe not,,,


    34 000 km's MY1990, Scottoiler, has original end can too.
    I'll be on the phone in a few hours

    Re: Are the T400 Tigers any good?

    Early this summer I was seriously looking for a Africa Twin, there are some good bikes out there but generally speaking expensive.

    Triumph Tigers are a nice bike and from a style point of view fit the bill, in my opinion you will get better value for money buying a Tiger.

    BUT they are not a @, I'm still bonding with my Tiger and have no serious complaints, in fact on the up side the performance is spirited to say the least, MPG seems to be a constant 50mpg.

    I still have my 600 Transalp and as yet have not decided whether to part company its a good bike and is fun to ride, saying that it has not been on the road since I bought the Tiger.

    UP THE WORKER!
