When ever Triumph introduce a new model the owners of the previous version get Oh so superior  :icon_lol: so owners of previous model called the 'steamer' which is way kind for a bloody Stone Age tractor which has all the connection from throttle to carbs akin to Pony Express compared to the email of the fuel injected Girly  :icon_biggrin:

And like wise the Girly lot gave the 1050 roadie mob such a hard time they flounced off and created their own site  :icon_rolleyes:

Erm that's  Steamer with an Uppercase S please, to  distinguish its proper manliness from that Sagem controlled thing with the neither one thing or another look.....

Oh and those with gen1 1050's get all sniffy about the new flyby wire 1050  :icon_biggrin:

And just show what an oddball bunch Tiger owners are its rare to get more than a couple of forums on one bike I remember a time when there were 4 Tiger forums  :icon_scratch:
