Trading My Daytona 600 for Tiger? Opinions?

[Riley's Ride]

Hi all,



Thinking of Trading my D6 for a Tiger.  I was going to do some track stuff but I really just want to ride the streets.  I'm debating between the Tiger and a Sprint.  I have a Honda VTX cruiser, which i love, but miss that sporty acceleration and feel.  



I know you all love your bikes so i'd like to hear negatives as well as positives if you please.



Cheers

I haven't had my Tiger for too long yet - only a couple weeks.  BUT, I can tell you my friends are having a hell of a time keeping up with me both around town, and in the tight stuff!  This thing is a blast (and EASY)to toss around corners!  

My advise would be to test ride them both.  I sold my Daytona for the Tiger, and now have no regrets.

Whatever you're thinking of buying, get as many demo rides as you can. The Tiger's a big old gal compared to your current bike so it'll be a world apart. Take some time to get used to her though, together with the different riding style, and you'll never go back.

Thanks guys,



I'm gonna go test ride a demo and see what kinda deal i can get for my D6.......Everyone seems to love the Tiger for it's versatility and suprising handling and power..

I traded my trusty speed triple for the Tiger and have no regrets.  I've even done track days on the Tiger.  My lap times are slightly slower, but I have even more fun passing "pure" sport bikes with it than I did on the speed triple.  On the street, the Tiger is more than fast enough to cost you your license.  It is a different feel though, and cornering is more about squeezing with your knees than hanging off.  Ride one and see what you think!

that's what i'm curious about...riding style.  I haven't done any off road stuff and am use to leaning into the corners.  Any riding tips on this style bike would be helpful..



thanks Again

Either way you will enjoy the triple, which is a hell of a lot nicer than a 600cc four.
