Special Edition Tiger

Sharp Tiger!
ABS is standard not a option. Color matched handguards.

I wonder if it has special edition wrote on it somewhere?

Read the article. So what's special besides the color?

Is it special cause they stole the paint from a kaw C14?

Nothing.  The other items that are included are all out of the accessory book.  

I don't know how the pricing compares to a standard ABS model with the same accessories...  I'm not even sure that the SE is coming to the US - at least, it's not featured on the Triumph US site as it is on the UK site.

I like the matte black - it looks like the same paint as used on the special Speed 3.  An all-matte-black Tiger would be very cool.

Here is a real "special-edition" Tiger from the Tiger1050 board.  This is from a rider in the Netherlands who created his own "Tiger 1050 R".  Link for more info - you need to be a member to see the thread, so I copied the pics to here.

No your just missing the point my fine feathery bike riding friend.   Personally if I could trade my America in on a new Tiger today I would, Theirs an orange one at my local dealer ship that I've sat on for ooh like 6 hours and I love this bike.  I don't see what's so special about this one from the link but maybe I'm missing some thing.  Either way I say

Thats what makes it a special edition, the color and making a few options standard.

Kawasaki had special editions last year with their 6R and ZX-14. They painted some flames on them and wrote special edtion on the tank.

I've got the Plimsoll, just need the Tiger!

Would be more special with full Ohlins and heated grips/seat.  Farkle it up a bit so I don't have to.  That's special.
