New Tiger XRX

[Ramblin]

Triumph has listed the new Tiger XRX price at $12,499. Appears to be an interesting bike with cruise control and advanced ABS. I like the styling too:

Looks like another nice ride! 2015 seems to be the year with a lot of new bikes.

Does that look alot like an FJ09 or am I seeing things? The tubular frame and the exhaust look different, but the front end looks pretty similar..... and both of them about the same displacement triples....

Would be more like the FJ09 looks like a Tiger, as the Tiger has been out for a couple years.

Nice to see Triumph adding cruise to their 800, now for Yamaha to do it on the FJ.

Are there any Tiger owners (or former owners) on this forum?

Are Tigers reliable?

I find the FJ-09 "less ugly."

Is it just me? I don't think the Tiger looks anything like an FJ-09. Different mirrors, different windscreen, different grab handles, different cylinder head angle, different exhaust (one high, one low), different hand guards, different head lights, etc.....

I agree with Howie that the FJ-09 looks way better (less ugly) and I found it looks much better in person (Long Beach show).

It looks more like a Beemer to me.
