Consider a Triumph Bonneville T100. I've had mine since 2006 and wouldn't change. Comfortable, Pactical, handles okay and fast enough to still loose your licence if you are daft enough.

Had a go on a Tracer and loved it.

There's plenty about and they're relatively cheap compared to a 950 Multi or MV Veloce and to me are a better bike.

Go for it!

Mt09 or better again Mt10 both cracking bikes and comfortable if you get the comfort seat.

You will miss that engine.....regret selling mine.

Think about getting a handlebar conversion, needs the top yoke changing and new longer brake and clutch lines

I've a triumph sprint 1050 and have a mate with a 07 tiger, they are a great bike and all day comfort. Make sure the battery is tip top and upgrade the starter cables thinker ones to give the sprag clutch an easier time.

Good choice. Have a look at tiger1050.com for real owner advice on it.

Decat the pipe, straight through pipe, remove the air box restrictor, high flow air filter and download TuneECU software. Stick one of the many maps on it yourself. Mine is a different bike.
