Probably just a cosmetic do over. The 1200 Explorer is too tall for the average rider. I look for them to address that to move more units.   You'll never be first but you might be next 2014 Commander  Author  Post     AZCactus  Taranis Reg.

Apparently, the Tiger Sport is available everywhere but North America!   The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination!

It's certainly a purposeful-looking machine. Unfortunately all the demonstrators in the UK have been grounded temporarily by Triumph, due to their needing a software upgrade (*), so I couldn't take it for a spin. The Significant Other and I are intending to take a test drive in mid February. She already has a Tiger 800, but it's due for renewal in March. I currently have a Nightstorm, but the uncertainty of the future of the Thunderbirds has got me looking at other Triumph machines. (*) That really doesn't inspire confidence in a ride-by-wire machine, does it?  Author  Post     Bodger  Set Reg.

Yes the scrambler is very tempting.   Experience is something you get just after you needed it 1600,Foran Razorbacks, Meerkat bypass, Dyno tune, real headlight,plenty of chrome,switchblade pegs, Hagon Nitro shocks & Ikon progressive fork springs etc. Scorpion Western Low handlebars.

I find the Trophy great and comfortable on long trips.Glad I got mine before they stopped making them. They have much better weather protection than the Tigers and are road bikes whereas the Tiger is supposedly a hybrid type.   "I started life with nothing and still have most of it left"  Author  Post     Bodger  Set Reg.

The 1050 Sport is most defiantly a road bike, and a damn fine one it is as well. Just completed a tour of Southern France and it's an excellent handling machine.   I won't believe it until it has been officially denied.
