I originally went for a bank loan to buy the Tiger. Up to that point I had only sat on it. I took it for a spin and, after standing on tiptoes just to straddle it, noticed that it sounded like the Jetsons' flying saucer/car. I had read that there was excessive wind noise at speed and a short trip to 100Kph on the highway proved that, yes indeed it was deafening. When I came back there was a 650 Bandit sitting there. A quick zip on that showed me a bike that was a treat to ride. When I found out they had a 1200 with a savings of over $6000 on the Triumph, I was in heaven. Tiger? A good lookin bike but, no thanks.

And all for just $12,000!  I could of felt like a moto pioneer of yesteryear with visions of people staring at me as I envision riding the Bonneville salt flats braking 100 MPH speed record. I got to sell my Bandit now...

I was doing wheelies last night while dreaming, on a older speed tripple.  Was my pastors bike,was going through the gears keeping it up. Wasn't wearing a helmet,thats not like me.
   The new one sure is a beauty! Maybe I'll update after I turn in tonight?

I believe that is the Canadian price. It's $7999 here in the states. http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/4553.aspx
