I rode my 07 Tiger and my buddies 06 Sprint back to back yesterday. I'm a pretty big guy, 6'2" the Tiger is more comfortable and smoother. It also it's a bit easier to flick. I preferred the braking on the sprint, but the Sprint is set up, I haven't adjusted the suspension on my tiger at all yet. Still too soft and too much dive stock.

One thing I do notice on the tiger is I have a lot more bugs on my helmet than with my speedy with the fly screen. A bit disappointing, but the only issue I've had.

Oh yeah, with my high points on, I have trouble getting my boot under the shifter on the sprint. I had to adjust the shifter on my tiger, but the sprint doesn't look quite as adjustable. If you've got big feet, you might think about it.

somehow when you say, "smooth and fast," JR, it has sort of
a different ring to it.




Thanks


we should do this every weekend!

A few weekends ago I was able to attend a demo-truck day. I rode the both the Sprint and the Tiger. I'm 6'0", 250lbs.

I wanted to like the Tiger, especially after hearing so many great things about it. But I just didn't feel "right" on it.

The Sprint on the other hand I quite unexpectedly fell in love with. Now I'm trying to figure out how to buy one without selling my beloved Speedy
