Yeah the higher displacement on such a light bike is apparently "too much". Traction control on 8 and power wheelies in third are no joke

 

True; that plus the price drove it right out of the US market.

Just toooo baddass.

 

 

Well after a weekend of really hard thinking, I'm not going to get the Tiger

It was absolutely amazing, it's just hard for me to justify having a bike payment right now. Plus, it was so damn pretty, I'd be really hesitant to ever take it onto gravel or forest roads in WV which is the whole point in getting my next bike.

So I'm going the used Vstrom route and not taking a payment.

That said, if anyone is seriously looking for a Tiger, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the guy from ADVRider selling this one. I bought my first bike from him and was hoping to buy this one too. He's a Navy pilot relocating to Japan, and the deal on this bike is seriously insane.

 

Wee Strom or 1000?

 

Wee

Lighter (which should translate to better on gravel), and the 1000 seemed more prone to various problems. Lots of fueling issues from the reseach I've done.
