the bike
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 03, 2012this bike does it all. I've taken it down backroads of dirt and gravel and although its not its forte it handles them fine. This bike shines in the twisties. I take her to the mtns of WV and VA each fall and the Tiger handles them effortlessly. The Tiger also is great on the superslab...if you ... need to pass..turn the wrist and the triple gets you there like a rocket. The hard bags are a little small but they're serviceable. I get between 47-50 mpg. You ride straight in the saddle and the view is excellent. Best bike Triumph makes.

Great Bike
By (I am an Owner) on May 05, 2010I absolutely LOVE my Tiger. It's a great touring bike or for zipping up the street. The pull from the 1050 triple is awesome. I've driven many bikes and owned 4 different motorcycles in my riding time, and nothing holds a candle to my Tiger. Only thing I would do different is opt for after market ... panniers, SW Motul would be my first pick followed by Givi.

bought a 2010 tiger SE
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 20, 2009This is truely a bike for the tall guy.
I am 6'9" tall with size 17 feet and I have no trouble with fitting on this bike. While the little folk complain about it being too tall or top heavy. for some one of normal height like me. It really is the perfect bike. You can criuse, commute and have ... your fun in twisties. Now that being said. I will be adding mirror wideners. a taller wind screen and the optional tall seat it really make it the ultimate tall guys bike. That engine is sweet!.....dont get me going on that engine! Also, the brakes a perfect for what I am using the bike for. Its also nice to go to places where ther eare tons of bikes and not see a carbon copy of yours. I go to the Rock Store in Agoura Ca. I see tons of Harleys, BMWs and armies or Ducati 695s.......I have never seen a tiger SE (yet)
