Let us know how you like it compared to your Triumphs. They seem like sweet roadsters.

That seems like a good find, depending on condition. I had an 04' r1150r that was a great bike. Good luck with checkin' it out. They are terrific standards.

Taking a little break; saving and looking; bikes are a HUGE passion for me, but I needed to regain perspective before moving to the next one....

If the deal works out the BMW I'll have to part ways with the Tiger... and there's nothing wrong with it at all - I really do like it... but then, motorcycle buying has nothing to do with logic or reason
maybe all the summer heat has gotten to me
..... a guy came by today to look at the Tiger and he wants it...he's selling his Honda ST1300...if that deal goes through; he'll buy the Tiger; and I can get the Beemer.... the only thing with the BMW I'm nervous about is all the electronic doodads - it has more gizmos than the Beemers I've had in the past...

The Roadsters are excellent bikes.
Or you could just swap the Tiger for the ST13.

or I could bungee three 80-pound bags of concrete on to the Tiger and it would weigh the same as the ST1300

Still wouldn't weigh as much as a FJR.

It's the proper color for a Roadster: black with white pinstriping...I don't pick it up until Saturday... so here's a pic off the internet... also, a pic of my TBS who will be sharing the garage... I think they make a nice pair....
