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! |

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. |

Do you have hip issues maybe, i tried a couple of bikes, Street triple and MT07 both bikes killed me before my hip op, I bought a ducati monster, fitted like a glove no issues |

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. |
