I don't understand all the "complaints" I'm seeing in magazines about the 1050 Tiger gearbox. Are these not the same trannys we have in the 1050 Sprint? I own a Sprint and I sure don't recall ever seeing any complaints about the gearbox... What is up? Is there really a "problem" with the Tigers gearbox (specifically hard to get into first gear) or are all these reviewers simply copying each other from the early Spain reviews? I have a Sprint 1050 and the gearbox is one of the smoothest and surest shifting trannys I've had. Neutral is extremely easy to find and it shifts wonderfully with a great feel. WAAAAAAYYYYY better than the Aprilia Tuono I rode last summer... Why is everyone complaining about the Tiger and not the Sprint? What's the dealio?
