I did something stupid today.

[Rocker66]

Due to the fact that our street was due to be without electricity for most of today I decided to take the CR down to Hastings and get a fish& chip lunch. As I was still likely to arrive home before the expected restoration of power I thought I would pop into the local Triumph dealer to pass a bit of time. after a short chat with salesman I found myself taking the Tiger 800 for a test ride. To my surprise I have to admit the ride left me with cause for thought

Yeah, fish and chips not good for your heart ...

What did you like about the triumph?Could you right a quick comparison between the triumph and the cr

rocker. im sure the warranty issues, recalls, reliability and lack of dealer support would also give you something to think about too

I surprised the engine was livelier than CR

It certainly felt that way to me until of course the CR hits the V-TEC zone

I bought a brand new Tiger 800XC last March (2011) when they first came out ----sold it in July!!
I found the screen RUBBISH as it pushes the wind straight into your face, also you have to like the looks and after a month or so I decided i DIDNT ! I know its daft but I go into the garage every now and again just to admire the looks of my bikes, I wasnt doing that with the Triumph!
Its a nice bike but in my opinion (and I know everyone is different) the CR is better in all respects.
