Hi from new member in NZ. I am about to sell both my guzzi and my Triumph scrambler and get a tiger.
There are some very nice little 955's for sale here. Can anyone tell me if I should be going for the 1050.
So 955 vs 1050? What's the go???
Will I regret getting a tiger I wonder, so far only heard good things. The scrambler leaves me wanting.
Unlikely you'll be left wanting either way, both are very good in their own ways.
Never owned or ridden a Girly but I would suggest it's probably better suited for NZ, especially if you carry a pillion regularly.

Welcome aboard.
Love my Girly but then I haven't ridden the 1050!
Ridden both but I prefer my 955i....

Pardon my ignorance, but why called a Girly ?

Welcome Deano,
IMO the Girly will best suit you if you ever venture onto the dirt roads you have in NZ.
The 1050 is really a pure road bike and is better at that but it'll never steer right on dirt because of its 17" front wheel.
Welcome Deano. I've run my Girly up and down The Coast and around the roads in Tasman for the last few years, I think you'll enjoy yours... Great range too which is what you need heading south.
Just moved from Nelson to Christchurch so a flat lander again now though

Cheers for that buddy, yep I guess I am pretty lucky as I live smack bang in the middle of the Buller Gorge, so dosent matter which way I go I have about 30km of twisting scenic roads to ride on to get anywhere. Bummer eh, but someone has to live here.
yep I am loving this bike. On both the scrambler & the guzzi I have to choose my lines carefully as there are lots of ruts & bumps but with the Girly it just dont matter. And I never thought I would love a fuel gauge so much, its awesome because I used to have to always top up if near town. Now it just dont matter.
