No worries, it's easily misunderstood.

As far as i understand it.....

Pre '99 the T4 Tigers were carburettor fuelled with either Keihin or Mikuni carb's commonly nickname the 'Steamer'

In '99 they put the T509 engine (same engine as the speed triple of that time buty downtuned a bit). This was the 885i, the first injected triple in a Tiger, the first of the new shape Tigers.

In 2001 they uprated the engine and put the T7 955i (Daytona derivative) in. The Tank graphics also changed to the plain black stripes plus a few minor cosmetic changes.

The so called '05 (but available in '04?), is the same engine, but has a steeper rake angle to the forks which has improved the handling. The bike has alloy wheels, a silver frame and new shadow graphics. It comes with the pannier boxes, heated grips and centre stand as standard.

Does that help ??
