Been in discussion with a bloke selling his Tiger, the bike is on a 03 plate, full luggage, heated grips, scottoiler, two screens and some other bits.....its only done 7K, and he's asking £4350 for it....
Seen some phots he's emailed me and it looks immaculate...
I think its a good deal.....
.....but that might be my excitment getting the better of me...any opinions guys
Soz guys should have asked when posted this :oops: ....whats the average miles per gallon? i know it will be dependant on speed, I have to commute 100miles a day, mostly on A road and Dual carrigeways...
Can't help with the price, as I in US, but with my new 06 Tiger, I've gotten well over 40 mp(US)gal., probably close to 50! I'm impressed!
I range from 44mpg to 47.
I've checked mine a few times now, commuting at speed limits in the UK around 54 MPG, I've had 212 to 218 to four gallons of fuel. I don't thrash it that often but it does get the odd blast.
Most fuel efficient big bike I have had by far. You will be filling up every 200 miles and be putting less than 20 litres in.
Gadding about gets this down to 160 miles(ish) for the same fuel, but this is going everywhere at the red line. Which I can also recommend. :D

I'd count on 2 gallons a day for your commute. I regularly get 220~230 miles out of 18 litres (fuel light) so you'll be filling up every other day or so. And, by the way, you won't need to thrash it to get there quickly. Keep it below 6000rpm and you'll easily get 55mpg. Above 6K and it can seem like it has a drink problem.......good fun though!
Well thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated, I'm riding a T595 at the mo which is doing about 45ish to the gallon and i'm pleased with that so anything around 50 is a bonus!!!
I,m on the verge of doing this deal, so when (not if) its done, i will be joining the fold again...(This will be my second tiger, used to have a black steamer, and my fourth triumph)....
Let you know how i get on, I should have it within the next 10 days....feel like a kid in a toyshop waiting.....Ha!!
cheers!! :P
