Confession time!

you definitly got the best colour! My friend bought one and loves it. His only problem was that he found the brakes too good! Only a few days after he bought it he had to jump on the brakes and ended up putting the bike down as they caught him out, but then that was something to do with the fact that he had just moved from a 25 year old R100 BMW!

He did try my @ though and thought it handled better than the tiger and was better over bumps due to the huge front wheel

Agreed, the @T is smoother over rough ground, I find the Tiger quite hard sprung, not unlike a sports bike but good enough for both road and track. The brakes, especially the back can catch you, I've locked up the back a few times now, the disc is huge!

As for good bike bad bike? Well, I'll not disrespect the @T, but the Tiger's a good bike also, just in different ways. "sub-standard intelligence"??? Well, some of us are broad minded enough to see the world is round and there's more to life than just Honda!
Remember, I've still a blade and CB!
