Any tiger riders ridden one of these before?

Nice bikes, the reviews on them are favorable, but I don't think they're better bikes for the money! Of course, I'm sure he's as biased about his bike as we are!

Beautiful looking ride!  First thing to go is the seat, though.  Not much there to make my favorite passenger comfortable.

1050 still has it against so much of the real direct competition.

"The camera lens is not kind to this bike" ever heard the expresion the camera never lies? Not my cup of tea, in fact fugly IMHO.

"Everything about this bike looks trick including the chain adjusters" never seen an earlier Tiger then.

"Lower price than competing bikes - check" I don't so pal.

"Hand assembled in Italy - check" That settles it :roll:

Ah crap I remember watching that video a while back.  I was completely ignoring the Benelli, I just wanted to see the Tiger SE in action!

I too wasn't looking for a shot gun :)

I reckon you would eventually get into a conversation like this....

"Spare parts for a Benelli Tre-K, sir?  Oh, we don't have those in stock. They need to come from China, via Italy.  That takes 6 to 12 months sir"...."
