Not true! Conti Road Attack and Trail Attack both come in 19 inch front.

If you search the Tiger Chat for "Bike magazine tyres" you'll get a thread about tire test for adventure bikes, our size tires. Contis Road Attacks and Battlewings came on top for pure road tires.

Nice picture! Be careful to not get your toes caught by asphalt! I'd suggest to place the balls of your feet on the pegs, instead of the arches. Gives you more bike control and additional ground clearance.

A flat wallet that is. I scraped the idea of tuning the Tiger for the track and traded it in for a brand new Daytona 675 SE. Sorry all Tiger fans out there. I was stupid 25 years ago selling my -68 Bonnie. I'm still biting my nails contemplating this affair. Did I do the right thing?
