This is more like what I want!
1050cc, 19/17", ˜hlins front and back, keep it allroad / touring!
Here`s a Photoshoped picture i have "stolen" from Matteo @ http://www.triumphtiger.it/ (http://www.triumphtiger.it/)

If there's one thing that the new Tiger must have it's an adjustable screen. The current design is rubbish. The wind roar spoils the whole bike.
[-X Actually, I would like the new Tiger to be much more like BMW's HP2. It's too street oriented already!

Leave the street version alone, then come up with a special additon, like a "World Cross" edition for us not afraid of dirt, with the following:
Better skid (bash) plate
More suspension travel
Adjustable forks
Tubeless spoke wheels
Aluminum handlebars
Acerbis like hand guards
50 pounds lighter
Continentals from the factory
Higher front fender
Aux lights.
I agree with Sasquatch, as long as the street bike has fairly long-travel suspension for that luxurious ride.
I might have to get one of each!
HEY TRIUMPH!
Are You writing this down?!
Judging by the spy shots of the new Tiger that appeared in MCN , Triumph have kind of lost the plot with the Tiger. I bought mine because it was a great go-anywhere do-anything bike, now they want to turn it into another urban poseur!
A new Tiger needs -
clearer instruments - sorry all you LCD enthusiasts but round black analogue is the best.
to lose weight - otherwise we'll be buying KTMs next.
suspension that loves rough stuff but won't bottom out under heavy braking on tarmac. That happened to me during a charity bike ride and the resulting slide off was very embarrasing when a hundred other riders are looking at the prat with the Tiger on his ear!!
Please no high front guard - maybe great in mud but it's just so ugly.

Sign.
Me.
Up.
I'd like to see it max out around 350lbs. 21" front wheel. And all the stuff Sasquatch mentioned.

I Agree!
I think the great opportunity here with the Tiger platform, would be to have a option list of various items like swing arms on single or double sided, different forks to choose from like Tiger forks, Sprint forks, all to allow us to customize the bike to our liking. Maybe a guy would have all the optional equipment and set the bike up differently from weekend to weekend, depending on what his mood is.
Hi Peeps,
HavenÌt been here for a while because I joined the dark side and got
myself a GS but by F'@@ if the new tiger looks anything like the pix
above I will be coming back asap.
