Neither is my comment too.  I did have my Steamer on single track in the Big Horn mountains last summer in Wyoming.  It did ok, but the whole time I was worried that it would take a dump on me.  They are just to big and top heavy for this kind of riding.

Hondas are the only thing that will get it done off road huh  :D

any modern dirt bike will run circles around a tiger and will go where a tiger fears to tread .................my 450 also goes like a rocket and pulls awesome wheelies
it's plated but the ride is tuff on the ass after 20 miles of pavement , each bike has it's plus and it's downside .

i have a honda xr650l but that 450 looks fun!

Here's how you have a fun mix between the tiger and another bike.  I can switch back to full offroad in about 30 min.  Like this you can be out riding the streets and all of the sudden hey there is a trail or a loading docking that looks like I need to hit.  Just try not to get tickets out on the road with a supermoto. :twisted:

No, I found mine on Craigslist last April.  $4200 for a 2002 with less than 6000 miles on it.  Best motorcycle I have ever ridden.

Years ago, Yahoo had the only Tiger forums around.  There were three major Tiger groups.  On one of them someone posted some pics of a steamer power sliding around corners on a gravel road and getting some serious air on jumps.  I think it said this was a pro stunt rider.  I always regretted not downloading those pics.
