  1. After taking my bike to a track, I fully know the limits on the street are of my own making, not the bike; even with my pretty sedate R1150R. There's no way I'd corner on the street the way I do on the track.

    All I was meaning was that adventure bikes and dual-sport bikes are great, but for the road riding that I do, I would much prefer a sport-tourer like my Tiger.

  2. If I were buying a bike today, it'd probably end up being some sort of adv. I do a little too much  gravel and dirt for my street bike's own good.

    Yeah, adventure bikes are very tempting by letting you get off-road, but I'd really miss the performance of a street bike.

    The older 955 Tigers (pre-2007) were dual sport bikes, but my 1050 was really built of the road.

     

    The conditions here on the South Island are fantastic. Nothing but twisty scenic roads. The 1050 Tigers are great for sport-touring with the saddlebags on and rips without them.

     

    I'll dig up some of my other photos.

    Great idea for a thread topic.

     

    Let's go Buffalo!
