I think it depends on the year. In 2001 they changed the front fork springs. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I rode one and was very impressed with the power this bike generates but the suspension was even worse than the KLRs. Brake dive was frightening. Stand over hight was also very high. I am an even six foot and felt like I was going to high side it at every light or stop. Very powerful though and the twin sounds hot too. Mike Render A14> -----Original Message----- > Triumph Tiger

Before I could apply the brakes, the KLR started rolling backwards pretty quick. I'm not absolutely certain, but when I looked over my shoulder, I think I saw the devil !!
