I always want this design to succeed:



It looks like the new owner will try to put the bike in production in the next few months.  I'd certainly like to see it happen:

This time it might well do, the guy leading it seems to have it well put together.
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

That is one dead-sexy bike right there!  Go register on their site!

It certainly looks cool enough, retro with a modern take, but, the engine :oops: is taking things a bit too far. Push rods for gawds sake, in 2009.
Will it also come with an authentic oil leak  :wink:
Tiger 1200 XRt in red, now recycled 😞

it puts out more power (and looks cooler) than my 2008 bonneville, and looks way better than the Duc or Guzzi classics.  For that, I'm happy to take pushrods.  The Buell XB still uses pushrods, and is no slouch.
