Found this, but I'm not certain how accurate it is. It suggests 9 2005 bikes on the road & 4 SORN (one of which is mine) and 7 2006 bikes on the road (one of them mine) and 3 SORN.

No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.

A few weeks ago i went out for a sunday ride with my mates, and while we were parked up talking bikes a guy pulled up on a near mint roulette green 955,  it was the first time i had seen another one out on the road, seen a few on ebay but not out being used, as you say getting rare.
If its got titts or wheels it'll give ya trouble!!!

I seem to meet more people who used to have one than have one now. I think in the two years I've owned mine, I've only seen one other on the road & that's only because I was helping the owner with an ECU issue.

Strange that in the "How many left" index, the Tiger 955i is not listed.

They are all banded together under Tiger, for 2001 to 2005 and most of 2006 the 955 was the only Tiger

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Ah yes, of course. I was being a bit Yorkshire there, (sorry).  :augie

I've been invited out on a few runs with the Airedale Girder Fork Club.

"When are you going to get a classic Rog?" they ask me.

"I couldn't afford an old bike, so I had to buy a newer one" I tell them.
