Well Steve, I hope you know that Dual-Purpose, or as they're known today, "Adventure Bikes", are seldom if ever going to look as "good" as "traditional/retro/cruiser" bikes, because the former(and I don't mean "TRANSformer" here) are designed in the "Form Follows Function" mode, whereas the latter(and I don't mean one o' those things you climb up) usually are designed using the reverse of that design principle in mind.

(...but you probably already knew this, didn't ya?!)

And btw, re this new smaller Tiger...I LIKE! It looks like the prefect sized bike which one can actually use off-road...within limits of course.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
