mcferreira100 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Very nice bike with good engines..but that headlight arrangement just doesn't do it for me.

bippo Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks guys. It's a fun bike - so tiny when compared with the Tiger. And I hear what you're saying with the lights, although the fly screen helps to make them look like part of the whole bike.
Noise Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Oooo sexy!!! I would say thats just for the bike but id be lying haha. Cracking choice in bikes, I've always wanted a speed four. 1
AndrewElvisFan Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Do you still have the Tiger or will be seeing this at Squires?
neversaydie Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I like em, but the headlights always remind me of Johnny 5
bippo Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 Do you still have the Tiger or will be seeing this at Squires? Sadly I traded the Tiger in for this... I went to enquire and they offered my an amazing price for the Tiger, plus I got £900 worth of free accessories on this bike. In essence, I got a new bike for hardly anything! I'd put 12,000 miles on the Tiger in a year (not bad considering a worked from home for 9 of those months), so certainly got my money's worth! I was looking for something lighter and generally smaller to get around in Central London, but still with enough poke to go on longer trips. I loved the engine on the Tiger, so knew I wouldn't go wrong with this. If only I was rich, I'd have kept the Tiger, couldn't fault it but with my change in circumstance I'm looking forward to a tiny bike to get me into London. Heading down there tomorrow morning actually, so I'll report back. I won't be going on the motorway though as I don't want to hold it at a constant speed with only a few miles on the clock. Normally leave at 4.30 on a Monday, so it'll probably have to be even earlier... Urgh... I get what people are saying about the lights, guess I'm used to them as they are also on the Tiger. For me though it's the new low exhaust, I can't easily look at that side of the bike... Preferred the older ones with the under seat twin cans. Oh well, can't see it when I'm sat on it, plus it sounds nicer than the Tiger! 1
AndrewElvisFan Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 On a serious note if ever you want a free cuppa on your way back (not at 4 in the morning) I'm right next to Duxford IWM
