Tiger Sitting

[Wacked]

Since I'm bikeless in Fargo, I decided to go to Triumph and sit on the new Tigers.... The 800 and 1200.

Ended up taking them both for a spin.  Both were excellent but thought the 800 was the BOMB.  Ergonomics were great, handled sweet, power delivery was smooth, best of all, it had a funky sounding motor.

I could see me selling the Trophy and Transalp and consolidating into the Tiger......   Hmmmm..... The hormones are raging

For next spring the Tiger 800 XC is on my short list. I will not go the 1200 route d/t the lack of spoke rims. Also on the list is the Super Tenere.

Rode a super tenere last week, the traction control is awesome!!! it seems like a great bike but ver street biased. if you can't go 15mph it iswn't going to worlk very well IMO.

I took the Tenere for an extended ride and some gravel (not dirt) and found it quite stable. That was with stock tires even. I like the idea of the dealer being down the street. I think the Tiger 800 would be a better off roader.
