Well done for that link.

I see Triumph have kept the same difficulty for riders with shorter legs.

Clearly they aim at a certain type of rider,
but at least there is a low seat option in the accessory brochure.

Where can I get a blonde to help me get my leg over ???

Thanks Rik - have you ordered one?????

Bike looks small - or you look big......

I look forward to seeing and sitting on one in 2 weeks at NEC, Birmingham, and demo at dealer.

Cheers

The Tiger certainly looks better on the stand than the pictures that I've seen in the (UK) motorcycle press.

I almost want one. In, fact when I see a yellow one I shall definitely want one. (Thoughts of a Caponord rapidly vanishing.)

Big Rik, he certainly makes the Tiger look like a tiny bike.

Sorry guys :wink:

But Rik is a Speedmaster driver, a friend of mine....everything is small when he sits on it!
Yes, the Tiger looks a bit smaller/tinier less impressive..but doesn't feel that smaller.
Now I saw it, it's still a big :???:
Maybe everything is forgotten when I drive it! Can't wait!

And this is me!

Thanks TTigertje this was a great post.

I have sat on the new Tiger and the seat is only slightly lower and slimmer than my 955. The whole cockpit arrangement is tidier and the feel much more modern. I will miss having a big Rev Counter.

I'm saving up for the White version.

Hey Ron. How tall are you and what's your inseam if you don't mind me asking. The Tiger looks like just about a perfect fit. Could you sit fairly flat footed on her?
