Title: Roed tests
Post by: Boo on August 10, 2013, 09:26:52 PM
OK! Just got the new bike. A 955i Tigger, 06 plate. Very nice indeed! Now where can I find a published road test on the wee beastie? :icon_study:
Seen a few opinions and reports of a sort from various peeps, but as yet, not a single period road test. As it is now concidered out dated, there will be no road test done untill it becomes a classic. Then some old git like myself will wax lyrically about yesteryear whilste wearing rose tinted specs.
Aren there any places I can go to see a period write up?
  Many Thanks,

             Boo.

Why? It's too late anyway   :hat10



Being human (I asume  :icon_wink: ) you just want to read you bought the best bike you could. But that's just paper, go out young man, put some miles on that beastly machine of yours and be convinced  :5moped

ps, congrats on you purchase  :icon_biggrin:

try Google search, quite a few results there.

Of course  just riding it will give you some idea how understated they are.

Is that the roadtest where the attained cruise velocity was in the region of 25mph? Quite a good read and they were made locally to me!!

Have read the roadtests and they all say what we already know even down to the differences between the 885s and 955s. TBH the write ups on here about various journeys are more informative as they are usually long term tests as opposed to hacks day out, although the comparisons and off road ability can be a bit nasty about the Tiger. As for value the Tiger comes out on top!
