Well done Phil!

I'm envious - ordered mine (BRG of course) on 25th February, and have to wait for a ship to bring it to Australia - arriving in Oz 30th March. :-({|= So I'll get it around 8th April! Worth the wait to get that colour though! :lol:

I was lucky, my dealer had one, I just have to get the paperwork ready. And of course you're right, some people claim orange ones are faster. We'll just have to see about that. In any case green ones have more stamina.

"2005", "Tiger", and "BRG" -- I can find nothing to criticise in any of that. Well done.

>In any case green ones have more stamina.

Unless they've been in the shop for two weeks waiting for a starter motor from Triumph, in which case they don't : (

Hopefully this will be the first and last problem I have with this bike.

I sure it will, it can always be worse; a guy I know had two broken gearboxes on his R1150RT within 50000 km. The first time BMW paid only for the parts, the second time he had to pay for everything.

When you get it back you'll want to get that starter painted BRG as soon as possible -- improved reliability is another benefit.

Well my other Triumph doesn't have any BRG and it has yet to give me any problems!
