Beaker?

[Tiger-G]

Hi Guys,

(Slightly tongue in cheek) A friendly message to our American friends - please don't go naming the Tiger 800 without consulting the Brits, or we'll end up with something as bad as "Girly" again.

Remember we're men, men's men, with hairy chests and six packs. We want a manly name for the Tiger 800 and the 1200 when it comes along !!  :)

Cheers.

Then stop building curvy bikes with mascara over the headlights.   :roll:  :P

Still reckon the new bike looks like Beaker from the Muppets...

[NeilD]

and the new Speed Triple looks like Dame Edna Everage from the front..  :D

Ok, we'll call the 800 the 'slim-fast' since it should be slimmer than previous tigers while still being pretty fast.  Does that meet with your approval?

ummmmmm.............the Girly moniker was coined by a Brit

Google "Jeremy Sagar "
he's the one who coined the phrase on the Yahoo Triumph Tiger list  way back when the Girly bike came out and naturally he was a steamer pilot. Which BTW is where the name steamer came from

Best we contact him for advice then,,,,  :roll:

I like Beaker! :D

Yeah. "Beaker" would absolutely be a suitable name.
And the 2 gentlemen apearing in the end of the Muppet show video are probably Tiger-riders too.....

Funny !  :D

Early Girlies had mascara, later ones didn't.  Look here:

It seems we have a name, "Beaker" suits it to a tee

"Here Kitty Kitty" or...I think 'HELLO KITTY' sounds pretty manly. Plus the stickers & farkles are are already available.

I was thinkin it should be called ' Red Herring ' but one has been spotted on the road !! then i thought it should be called ' The Teaser ' as thats what Triumph have been do'in with there ads !! so i'll just have to agree with the others who named it.......

Beaker !!
