After nearly 9 years, our loving relationship is to come to an end.....................my foxeye 600 is going

But the Tiger 1050 is a coming

Got offered more than I expected on a part-ex so it had to be done

Shame you're leaveing the fazer family (for now)

Hope the tiger 1050 is good to you and takes care of you.

Get some pics up when it arrives!

All the best,

Chris

Thanks Chris

I ain't leaving, like the banter in here too much, not sure that there's as much piss taking on the Tiger forums so I'll still be hanging around in here

Once a foc'cer always a foc'cer

We don't discriminate (as long as everyone understands Fazer's are the best

).

Theeeey're gggggrrrreeeeeaaat !

Won't find any piss takers in here officer.

When you go a spin now will you be saying "I'm gonna bounce"

after a 600 the tigger will feel like a beast........but be prepared for the suspension.
it was on my maybe list until i rode one. competent, safe, predictable at sane speeds and a hoot with an open pipe.
have fun.

Nakedadder.............i traded in a tiger for the Fazer and used the tiger forums, there is little banter on it, this is WAY better!

Been nosing around the Tiger forums for a while, there's quite a lot of useful stuff on there, but hardly any piss-taking

There are a lot of Americans on there, not that I mind Americans generally, but their humour is shall we say, a little different from ours

I agree, the info is all great but the piss taking is almost non existent, this forum is far superior in that respect, enjoy the tiger, they are great bikes, tall though, awesome engines too

They are tall, might have to dig out me old platformed boots

Did the tiger thing myself, and here I am again on a fazer.
Tune the bugger up and they really go like the clappers, but you'll need some serious suspension money spending on it, as the standard susp is terrible! Rear spring is the right weight for a 11 stone rider

You obviously need more practise posting!

A friend of mine has a Tiger 955i. Pretty smart looking, although the stickers on the left side of the tank are bubbling despite her best efforts to eliminate them. It's a big, comfy bike. When her son gets his VFR800 de-restricted, he's going to have to start hiding his keys!!

nsr500v4 · « **Reply #21 on:** 03 May 2013, 08:39:56 pm »

Yeah the tigers do that, the petrol fumes seep through the plastic and bubbles the paint.

You kept that quiet!
That mean we've got a new Trumpet to put on the fire this year then?
