Triumph Tiger

I sat on a new Triumph Tiger at the MCN on the weekend and fell in love with it. It’s got to be the most comfiest bike I’ve ever sat on.

I’m 6’ 5" and it was a great fit and the seat was fantastic. Seriously considering swapping my ZX6R for one once I can ride again.

Anyone else own one and commute into London on it?

We had one as a courtesy bike once and went shopping on it 2-up to try it out. Never again. It was like sitting on a bouncy castle

Yes i had one, its a fantastic machine, although i found her a bit heavy only weighing in at 9.5 stone and 5ft9, but it was fantastic, and i loved the way we lolloped along, hehe:w00t:

Who doesn’t like a bouncy castle? :smiley:

The "bouncy castle " can be dialled out.

How do I know? Had a ride on one owned by a guy 30% heavier than me and he warned me it would be firm.

Irish understatement.

You did well to ‘lollop’ along to Brugges with Ginger on the back Westie.

The mind boggles. Glad there were not pictures with this one Ang:D

I’ve had one since November last year and find it great in town; especially at a crawl or when filtering through traffic - very well balanced and stable. It can shift rather nice too!

My commute isn’t that far so the stock seat has always been comfy, would love to see what the gel seat was like. I’m 6ft1 tall and that size bike is very nice for us taller types.

Wish I knew they were bringing out the special edition though; that silver colour is a bit nice :o) Check out tiger1050.com too for a wealth of info on their forums.
