Triumph Tiger and Daytona 675

Mr Lefty · 06-19-2010, 10:41 PM

I think the Tiger is a good bike for crappy pavement... the thing I love about the DRZ and why it'd be hard to go back to a sport bike or a pure street bike is that I don't have to worry about shitty pavement, the suspension just soaks it up.

The Tiger seems along those lines, but not something I'd want to take off road except on a gravel driveway. course I've never ridden one... but judging from your experience, my thoughts were about right.

I want to test ride both the Vstrom 650 and 1000... but they're in hot commodity down here... my local shop has been searching for the 650... calling around because he has two people lined up to buy them.
