Triumph Tiger? anyone got any opinions/experience of them?

Looks tidy enough, but isn't that coming up for a valve check? ££.

Plus, serious, they don't go round corners.

How much ££ is a valvce check? more than £200 would you say? As for corners, cant be any less able than the America surely? not that it should matter to me, the only tiome my knee is down is when I fall off

I'm not sure, I'd do them myself and swear lots.

It felt like it had a hinge in the middle, the versys handled well though, could still knee down that, but it's a LOOOONNNG way down.

My cousin has a Tiger and a Daytona 1200. He takes his Tiger to Europe for 3 weeks every year, and reckons its the best thing since sliced bread on the switch backs on the mountain passes. When I did my IAM test, my examiner was his personal bike which was his second Triumph Tiger. I had a Daytona 955 for 4 years 40,000 miles and the only issues I had were with speedo drives, and a corroded oil pipe that decided to let go whilst lapping Cadwell park.

As for values, Triumph prices are always all over the place. Any bike is worth what you are willing to pay for it.

I like my Tiger, gets 600 miles per tank, comfy, well equipped and unstoppable.

Of course you have to bin the original motor

Not sure a diesels for me, but appreciate the work that's gone into that, what a tool!
