Picked up a new Bike today

[Guest]

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

Boy, when you say "new" bike, you mean "NEW".

You gonna paint the truck now, so the colors don't clash?

It matches the mustang that's not pictured .
Its a 2011 so not exactly new but new to me

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.

"LEAVE THE PAINT ALONE!!! They painted it that beautiful orange & white for those wonderful University of Tennessee folks

Great looking bike, congratulations. I had a bike headed towards me the other day with the blinkers built in to the bark busters, they were very visible and a great idea.

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

edit re: the GS 1000G build

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.

Nice!!!!
CONGRATS!

[Gs1000g]

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?

Crikey, the GS rallies are starting to look like Triumph rallies. Lots of British iron (well, mostly Thai aluminum actually) infiltrating the GS crowd.

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

[Gs1000g]

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!!!
