I picked up this today for longer rides. The bike is amazing, excellent power, ABS and touring capabilities.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Start practicing now.."honest, Officer i'm just not used to the power."
Looks great. Don't know about the bark-busters, can't imagine it will see any off-road duties.

It wont see any crazy off road trails, it will see the occasional gravel road to a hiking trail or something in Missouri or NW Arkansas. The torque curve is amazing, I'm super happy with it. I will log some miles on it for sure, now I need to sell my GS1000G build 
, I still plan on keeping old blue though

I might be back in your area the 1st weekend of Sept. or there abouts, I'll PM you when that time arrives and if you still have it then, I would surely be interested in seeing it and maybe we could work something out.
Otherwise, good luck with the sale. Just don't let any of those cheapskates on CL try to steal it from you.

Sounds good man, hopefully it's sold by then but i would rather it go to a new home from someone here

Nice Triumph, I recall seeing one at work with wire wheels and the guy routinely got it muddy. Is that a XC800 or 1100?

Sweet ride.....those bags look like the same type they used for the Suzi bandits...but maybe it's me.

It's a tiger 1050 apparently it was evolved from the 955i. The bags do look similar but they are also stamped triumph 
. I'm super happy with the purchase. i need to get a windscreen for my height but then I'm ready to roll

800's come with spokes, maybe the 1200's also? I had a 2007 version of this bike. Very nice bikes. Its a sport bike with great ergo's and with over 6" of travel eat up pot hole laden roads. Get on the Tiger forum for recommended suspension settings. You will be amazed by the difference. I put 998 miles in 1 day coming back from Co. awhile back. Enjoy!!!

What windscreen did you use on that long trip
Stock windshield. I enjoy wind in my face. Your bags are EOM triumph. Would highly recommend to see what tune is installed and to change the fork oil. Then learn about your suspension. When set up properly, its a super comfy sport touring bike with 6 inches of suspension travel. Bumpy roads are thing of the past with this bike. Highly underrated bikes that can be found at a decent price
Good choice
