FJR1300 or Tiger 800????

[MadDogMcQ]

I haven't ridden the Triumph, but I did buy a new FJR in 2007 and loved it. What a superb bike for distance work. Why it doesn't get the praise it deserves in the magazines is beyond me. Stonking engine, 145 ponies and bags of torque. I rode non-stop from Manchester to Stranraer and the seat was so comfortable that I felt I could have gone the same distance again without a break. My wife also loved the Feejer.

Trouble is, they are eye-wateringly expensive since the recession hit. I paid about £9k for mine and I saw one in a Bolton dealer the other day at £15k.  :eek :eek :eek  If I was spending that sort of money, I'd go daft and buy a Diavel.
