Howdy! I put 50k miles on my '95 Tiger but was a moron and sold it a few years ago for a VStrom 1000 (hated it!). Now ride a '03 Hayabusa ~17k miles/year as my commute/sporttour/biggrin bike, and am looking for a better bike for two tall&big people (me 6'3 240# she 5'11 180(?)). Thought about a KTM Adv950/990 but you inmates talked me into getting back into the Tiger game (smoother engine, maybe more reliable, she's got a bad back and the Tigger's softer, etc.).

So here's a Q--I found a 2006 Tiger bone-stock with sidebags and 6k miles on it for $6k. Is that a good deal or should I hold out for one with more farkles (engine guards, topbox, etc.)? Anything I should watch out for?

Thanks,
Eric
