I LIKE the blue one, might be my next bike (nobody tell BG)

Have a nice ride this morning? Saw you goin north on 235 behind a dump truck. Did you get hit with a rock or somethin that fell outta that thing?

That's not as sexy. Infact not sexy at all

Follow the Calculate a Payment link. A $0.0 MSRP is sexy as hell

This months Motorcyclist has an article on the new Tiger

 

[aps45819]

Maybe it was MotorCyclist

Maybe it was MotorCyclist

Or maybe Cycle World?

I'll have to pick that one up. Interesting to see that they used the V-Strom and the R1200GS as comparison bikes!

It's got the new Tiger on the cover
Article said it's MUCH more sport/street oriented

If I remember right (there were a LOT of trucks out there), I got in behind a garbage scowl dripping nasty water out of the back. I did run over something in the road, but figured if the wind was blowing it across the road it wasn't enough for me to worry about avoiding. Other then that just another uneventful ride!


Nice day for a quick scoot up 235!!

Triumph has had a hard time in the past with the "Dual Sport" type bikes. Haven't read the article yet to see how they've done this time.. In the past it was, good street bike, crappy off road bike.

I don't want a dual sport. I want a sport tourer. Found this one on eBay...

Me too, but I don't want to give up the cruiser quite yet. I like this one.

Yeah, I do like that one, but I was surprised at what crappy mileage it gets...only in the 30's!

I've been thinking of "IMYLE2" for the bike...
