Don't bother, just buy a Roadie. They don't have huge support here but its a cracking motor if slightly sterile compared to the Steamer.

What you mean sterile Sin?

Been considering a Roadie for a while as its the only other Tiger that i like the looks of  :)

Perhaps a bit harsh, its just turbine smooth torque everywhere. No rattles and clanks that suddenly disappear to be replaced by that Exocet rush that is Iconic off the Steamer. Not a criticism really more of an observation. The 800 is a bit like that, tanking along feels like a breeze till you catch the Speedo or go into a familiar corner a bit faster than you thought you were going  :oops:

In the short time I had on the Dora, I personally felt the engine had more character. Standby for  incoming  :wink:
