So long as you keep on the mag wheel Tiger route I can disclaim all responsibilty,I'll take a wire wheel version every day you can do a lot more with e'm and they've got a better swing,but you can turn up and I'll talk to you about the joys or is that pros and cons of should I buy a KTM690 SMC were 40 years of bikeing logic tells me it's a baaaaad idea  :D ,were the sensible thing is to go and buy another 955 Tiger and moth ball it for a rainy day,wire wheel of course  :roll:

Chris,having had a Thunderbird with spoked wheel's,I never had time to ride,spent more time trying to polish Trumpy's rather poor attempt @chroming rims & other fitting's I decided feck that if I can get a cast wheel model then I will,as for chatting sh*t about bikes I already do that,at home,at work,on forum's & absolutely love it :headbang

If I had 3 grand to spend on bikes,I'd have bought that black Tiger off here for 2 and the grand on another bike,it takes all the pressure off 'Must have it on the road',it's one of those things never spoken of,but have a look at the number of folk on here who run more than one,but as simple as it sounds it's taken me a life time to work that out  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

For another thou you could have a nice low milage, blue 06 with farkles but then you`ve probably seen TigerTriples add.

Black 1 is on ebay,I have been in touch & asked to view,but no reply,which is strange considering he sent all the images I asked for.As for two bikes,I would have to sell both to pay for the divorce costs :oops:
