two quick questions....

First, what windshield do you have on this bike? Second, are the wheels still.....round?

Interesting video.

Looks like a stock windshield---Not my bike--- and I think the wheels are stock and are more or less still sort of roundish.

Just posted the vid becouse alot of older model Tiger drivers hate the fact that the new Tiger is a road bike. In stock form they can still do a bit of light off roading and there are a couple of guys up in Canada that have beefed up the shocks on their 07"s and put off/on road tires on their Tigers and say they go off road all the time and do it as well as they could on their old Tigers. Of course new shock and tires are not exactly cheap.
But it is an option. Would still cost less than a beemer.

Kind of points out the fact that you can take any bike any where you choose, some will perform better than others.

Even an R1 with some mods....

I would have to agree with that.
