Somebody mentioned it elsewhere, and I liked it, Transformer. It looks like a transformer monster.

Well I've always looked at the Triumph Tiger lot with avid interest  :roll: ,stuff like World Superbike or Moto GP,even Simoncelli's death go completely unnoticed,but a meet up and camping in a field does  :shock:

BUT,in the 12 years I've had a Tiger I've seen more Tiger sites than any others for the bikes that I own,in fact I've probably seen more Tiger sites than all the rest put together.

3 Yahoo sites
Tiger Triple and it's for runner started by a guy who went and bought a GS!! and left
Rat site
1050 site
800 site
And now a 1200 site

Not sure what it says about Tiger owners but it's certainley saying somthing :D

I'll be having a look at the NEC.
Not sure about that hard luggage, I noticed someone wobbling a pannier about in one of the clips.
Any suggestions about which bits to prod/ break or otherwise investigate bearing in mind the things will probably be crawling with wannabes and spotty adolescents?

The movie Alice in Wonderland started out with 'white rabbit' runnining about muttering " . . . I'm late, I'm Late" ..........
- Inferring Triumph should have been the leader in this game.

In the song White Rabbit . . . "if you go chasing rabbits . . ." infers you will never catch him ... you will fall as your mind runs about . . . . .

I propose  Rabbit . . . . .
  ... we could put in a sound clip of
Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane to spice it up!

I,ll be there on the first Saturday, but only cos I get a cheap deal on a coach run by the Christian M,cycle Association. :roll:  No I arent a member (I don,t think they would have me if they really knew me)

[Tiger-G]

Yes, I think it warrants it.

At least we'll be able to go straight to where we want to find out what the guys on here are saying about it.

Just my ten peneth  :D

[blacktiger]

I think each model should have its own section just because each model will have its own questions, idiosyncrasies and farkles.

[Bixxer Bob]

I'll be there on Friday 25th..... :D

[Bixxer Bob]

You lot have forgotten the sarcasm thing.

Best one I've seen by some margin is 'Dora'

Dora the Explorer..............

Given that she's my grand daughter's favourite I must have been real tired :roll:

[Chris Canning]

For the same reason the steamer lot cut us off at the neck with 'Girly'   :D ,it's a rather nice thought doing the same to the 1200 :oops:

Bought a 1200 Dora have!!! how nice :D,thats their halo round their ankles!!

[chairhead]

:D    Dora......  gets my vote!

There has got to be a 'christ on a bike' type joke in there somewhere... :roll:

Hi Mate,

I so wanted the Tiger 1200 to be a bike for me, and it would be if it wasn't for the 20 litre fuel tank.  Rumour has it there will be an "ADV" version out in the future with increased range, so I think I'll sit back and wait.

Chris, that Versys looks like a multi strada to me, I agree with triumph looking over their shoulders tho'.

I will be at the NEC to see the beast in the flesh, doing some stand duty for the TRF.

I agree with you John, I see this as more of a Multistrada competition....and one beaten with the ugly stick pretty hard.  I'm sure it will be a hit if priced right though, filling the gap for those who can't afford to purchase or operate a Duc.
