Advice on potential new bike wanted

Hi all, I`m thinking about a `97 Triumph Tiger 900 as a replacement for my stolen XTZ. Can anybody advise as to what these are like to live with, and any known issues/faults.

Re: i think everyone should read this

Unfortunately this seems to be true for a lot of charities. We had a guy knock on the door recently who claimed to be raising money for cancer research by selling scratchcards. He was trying to get you to commit to £2 per week by direct debit to "help look after the sick and their families"...

Re: Just to rub salt in!!!

Re: Accident caused by illegal off-roaders

Sorry to hear about your accident Sprockette, you're ok thats all that matters the bike is replaceable even if it has caused a major inconvenience.
