Thanks! not sure yet- but probably instead. My tbird is in great shape and I really like it, but I'm a little cramped on space. Anyway, it's a happy day!

Congratulations Heyman! I went to buy a Tiger 2 years ago and walked out with a Rocket. While I love my Rocket today as much as back then I still lust for a Tiger BADLY. I will take an 06 in blue please .

Heyman, good for you. I hope you like it.

Cramped on your Tbird - I know how you feel. I'm sure that Tiger has quite a bit more legroom, not to mention the larger fuel tank, fairing, fuel-injection, etc., etc.

i bought an O5 a year ago on Ebay, rode it 10k and sold it for a profit First bike in my life I've ever made a penny on.

I thought when I got it I would end up selling the Sport, couldn't do it. I finally sold the Tiger for garage space and to assuage the modicum of guilt of having a spare bike whilst the Misses was driving a 13 yr old 4 runner around.

As a practical mode of transport the Tiger makes way more sense, but bikes aren't about practicalities and I just found myself riding the Sport every day and using the Tiger for shopping and other mundane stuff.

The 07 looks interesting, more like a KTM Super Motard.
