I now ride an old 1100 Katana that I will replace this fall. I sure do like the sport touring sport bike on the highway, but it is a handfull around town, real easy to get a ticket on, and I never get close to its full potential. Many times I have felt that I would be happier with a bike that was a bit less focused, even though I like what I now have.



I can see why someone would choose a Tiger, I just may end up doing so myself. Time will tell!

That is a tough call. There is no way that the average rider can beat ABS on a bike any more than a car driver can out perform a cars ABS.



However there are situations where not having ABS is good fun, and that is one less thing to maintain or break.



As a commuter I would like to have it, especially when it rains or there is frost/ice on the road. But for weekend fun, I would pass.

This bike would look silly between my legs.

Not as silly as that tiny thing already between your legs!

They say the same things about Harley's too! and compare them to boat anchors!

I own a new Tiger 955i and it is the nicest handling bike I have even owned and that is comparing it to bikes like Blackbirds and Fireblades! I have also ridden the 1150 GS and the Tiger is a better bike to ride
