Anybody on this list have one (I am more interested in 955i versions, 2001-2002)? I'd like to ask a few questions about owners' experiences with the newer models. I have been looking for a mailing list, but now hits so far. Would also appreciate any links anybody can provide. Thanks, Gustavo

Check this one out, they'll tell you all about the Tiger's foibles. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TriumphTiger/?yguid=37477914 Bill Tiger - "NoTengo"

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

I think it depends on the year. In 2001 they changed the front fork springs. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com

That twin should sound pretty hot, seeing how it is a triple. CA Stu PS FWIW My Sprint ST (basically identical 955cc motor) has been mechanically perfect (for 7500 miles) and I dragged a peg with Authority this past Thursday night, with the 3 bag luggage bolted on. No way I'm selling it for less than $10k now.....

No way Rev. The devil I saw wasn't holding no fiddle. Looked more like a first aid kit and possibly a pad of admittance forms. Nonetheless, all ended well other than a necessary change of underwear. I don't think the devil likes poo. Don S. revmaaatin wrote:

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 !!
