Title: Should I?
Post by: blackops on March 21, 2011, 20:14:14
Only had my wee for about a month and really impressed with the bike but one of my local dealers has a 2007 Tiger 1050 with 2760 miles on  in absolute prestine condition.don't know what happened but nearly left 500 quid deposit in the haste of the moment and then did a reality check! Must admit I fell in love with the Tiger when it was first released and always craved after one.Oh dear decisions decisions.

I tried one, and then bought a new Vee. It's a subjective thing isn't it.

My licence was the reason I didn't get a tiger, plus the soundtrack of the twin over a triple, even with Triumph's race can on it!

From the sound of it, you're really lusting after the tiger, it depends on the deal. This is the time to do it, pre-summer. Personally, I would just enjoy the wee this year (you know its a good bike), and go for it next year to satisfy your desires for the carnivore - there's always a good deal on somewhere! :shrug:

If they have phoned you 3 times make a silly offer you never know, you're always in the best position if you can walk away.
