I have just bought myself a nice black shiny Tiger 800 ABS Roadie with lots of fancy bits on it.
Its real nice to ride & makes my R1200ST look very very sad.
It does however sound like a Dyson Vacuum cleaner, which is a great shame.
My wife came out to the garage and pointed out that though the Tiger was black it did not look like a Harley ..(and sounded shit)....and went back inside.
I am still thinking about that comment.
Do you think I should buy her flowers?

This post is pointless without pictures.......
Post them up so we can all have a look!!
I love the Tiger but for me it would need to be the XC-the roadie just doesn't do it for me!!

Looks ugly compared to an R1200ST.

Hey up Lads,
Nah the Roadie is all you need unless you really are going to go on the dirt.
The XC has a higher seat height which is not a plus for myself, which is why of course I did not go for a GS1200 and yes you can get a lowered seat but they look naff.......
Really not joking the "Dyson Dirt Sucker" exhaust tone is bloody awful, everyone to their own here, some may think its sweet.
But then I am used to the quite nice tone of the R1200ST with it short Bewolf exhaust which sounds great when up to speed.
Nearly lost the Tiger on the way home as I daydreamed into a fast roundabout in sports tourer mode!
Thanks for putting the Pics up Al.
