Nice video, found you searching for Tiger Sport videos! Thinking of test riding it myself. Did you find the clutch lever heavy? When I looked at the bike it was a weird thing I noticed :)
Thanks, I did the vid partly because I couldn't find that many reviews\tests at the time I was looking into it and thought I'd add my own personal findings to the mix. Thinking back I really didn't notice it had a heavy clutch lever at all. Maybe my Blackbird lever is the same and I'm more used to it. I don't even remember if the Tiger is cable, or hydraulic like the Blackbird.
Al McLuckie Thanks! Guess it's just my weak hands! There doesn't seem to be much on the Tiger Sport like you say. My main concern with it would be I'd be going from a Versys 650cc to this 1050cc, you think the power is too much for a relatively new rider to handle? (I've been only riding 2 years).
philjonesuk Ha, weak hands! Probably didn't notice as I really didn't have to filter or sit in traffic anywhere. A heavy traffic trip on the Blackbird can get quite tiring too. Just see my filtering vid. Ano no, I don't think the Tiger would be too much to handle. Its wide bars and easy throttle make it really easy to ride however you like. Go on, go for a test!
Sports Bike Riders "bunch of knobs", made me laugh! Wont get a nod from a beemer or Harley rider either :) Got my Tiger Sport a couple of weeks ago, loving it! But stock can has to go!
Yeah, I was looking at Beowulf cans as I have them on my Blackbird (are legal) and sound great, but the ones they do for the Tiger are big and fugly. Not sure I want SC project. Know any other nice sounding (not just loud) makes?
Al McLuckie MIVV do some nice looking cans for Tiger and the low slung sport cone one fits with some modding as it isnt specifically for the Sport, its old Tiger. But they are italian so build quality may be suspect. Have you looked at the Campbell Customs? Had a sidewinder on an old CB1300 and looked and sounded great, build was excellent.
Had a 2009 Tiger 1050 for last five years, love it.
Hey rider !! I have had a 2009 tiger 1050 for 2 weeks and I love it so far !!😄😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺
Had mine for the last 2 years and happy with it
Great video and review I love this bike was thinking about a 800 but after watching a few videos on this bike i think this might suit me.
Thanks, I'm really impressed with mine now. It is a great bike, and will be even better once I fit the SC-project exhaust this weekend :)
Must let me know how it goes.

Comes across as a bit of a richard.

Right let's try that again as last upload was borked big time for some people.
