I am new to the Tiger, though not to Triumph as I have owned a Sprint ST since May 2000. I brought the new bike home two weekends ago and have over 1700 miles on it so far. I was excited about taking it out on the Forest Service roads in my area as soon as I brought it home. It was everything and more I expected of it on these roads. Today I took it on a sport ride with a friend I rode my Sprint with for several years. Today was to be a test of how much I lost in sportbike riding. What a surprise! The bike was a hoot to ride. I rode three premier sportbike roads here in Northern California, Hwy 299E, Hwy 3 (from 299 to Hwy 36) and Hwy 36. All three of these roads have some real technical areas that are a lot of fun to ride. The Tiger was fantastic with great lean angles, grip and acceleration. I didn't miss the Sprint at all. In fact, I had all the fun I could have had on the Sprint without all the discomfort of the Sprint's sportbike ergos. Here the Tiger was a blast to ride yet I did it all with great comfort. What a super bike, Triumph's best kept secret.

Add the hard bags and you can go to the grocery store or camping.
I can only agree.
Congrats and here's to many happy miles aboard the Tiger.

I have the 05. I'm trying to figure out why I'm having alot of vibration thru the pegs. More like a chain adjustment problem.
I went to0 dealer and he said ride till 500 mile service and he'd look at it.
When my wife is on the noise/feeling is worse.
other than that , she's a fine bike.
