Don't think so BD, he seems to be very smitten with it.

Currently looking for one of these in White, few about in dealers but don't want to pay full list, cannot find one on the 2nd hand market and white is not a 09 colour either.
Anyone spotted a deal or know of one for sale ? has Stumpy finished with his yet

give it another week and he'll be changing bikes.....

Thought I had a deal on one with interest free credit a couple of weeks ago, then the dealer looked at the fine print and said "Oops - our mistake" I think I will have one but not yet and not at these prices - I have a feeling better deals are to be had yet.

I picked this up about a month ago with less than 600 miles on the clock for £4200...Its got nearly £500 worth of extras on it so i thought it was a good deal
Best price i could get on a new one was £4700

 

[Big Den]

Going on my research you got a belting deal, private or dealer ?

Den,

I had seen a new White one in a Yam dealer in a town about 20 miles away from me about 3 weeks ago. I just happened to be going past again this afternoon and remembered you were looking so stopped to check it out and its still there

I'd give em a call and ask 'em whats the best price they can do but don't tell 'em its a white one you are after . Act a bit disappointed A few weeks back I was in there talking to the sales manager/owner about a used bike he had advertised on Autotrader. It was quite clear that he was very quiet on the sales front at the moment.

I will PM you the dealer details. Good luck

Saw the 2009 colours at the NEC they look pretty shite especially that maroon/red colour. It would have to be the gloss black for me now that the whites gone.

I reakon Chris Scott might just know a thing or two more than the average punter too. He seemed to be overall in high praise

Smart bike, I sold my 955 Daytona at the tail end of the summer. It was great that engine is something else the roar from the air intake at full chat was adictive. I am sure your Tiger will be good too. You need to make sure you get the latest tunes and on time too. If not the bike starts to play up, the speedo would pack up and would run like a bag of sh*t. Keep ontop of the battery too otherwise when the electric fan comes on it will drop to 2 cylinders. Other than that you should have no problems, the real secret is find a good dealer, I bought mine from Jack Liley outstanding service. I then moved back up north and my local dealer was cr*p to the point of being beyond belief.

Thanks for that. I am looking at an uprated battery. Seems a lot of modern bikes now run the smallest battery possible. I bought the Tiger from MCS in Glasgow. Looked at Two wheels in Edonburgh but heard lots of bad things about their workshop. MCS are a famliy run business and so far have been very good. I've had no real issues to test them but they come across well.
