I got this from a forum site. Someone followed this test rider into a gas station and took this photo with his cell phone.

Seemingly, the whole frame / sub frame, pillion grab rails and pillion footrest hangers are one piece!  Either a very cool thing or dangerous if you drop it and bend it...

Looks good though.  :thumbsup
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Thats a Ducati frame, they just painted it silver to confuse folks :D

And this is what happens if you show up with a X-brand bike on a Tiger meeting :shock:

Why do the riders in these shots always look like robots with dark glasses?
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

Looks really BMW F800GS inspired. Which is the bike I was looking at before I got my ol' steamer.
Mostly commuting around town on the Steamer these days.

Trying to appeal to Bring More Worries fraternity  :wink:

Personally I like the all steel frame, it was on my list of must have when I started making a plan to build my own, can be welded by any yak herder in the middle of Wherethefuckarewestan. Triumph beat me to it  8)
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
