yeah, it looks great!!

Im starting to like it more and more.

I think people with supermotos will eventually move on to these bikes. They are better for general everyday riding i think.

Absolutely! I really like that Tiger- it is on my short (very short) list of new bikes to buy.
A white one to match Casper and the Creamsicle.

First: "Creamsicle" sounds gross uke:

Second: I sat on a 1050 Tiger at the demo day this weekend. They fit just like the old ones, kind of tall, but a lot lighter and nimble feeling. But, why would some one who wants a supermoto look go for the new Tiger instead of the Speed3? It has more to offer in performance and has more in common with the supermotos on the market now.

The tiger has alot more suspension.

I would easily hop a curb on the tiger, as i would do on a supermoto.

I would go through puddles easier..

I just love the long suspension of supermotos. And with this tiger supermoto, you can travel on it too. Plus you have a great engine that lasts.

I hated doing 600 mile valve adjustments on my supermoto. No thanks!!
