Extras

Stock springs

Full disclosure
Bike had a 0mph tipover on an off-camber driveway by me. The right pannier and crashbar took all of it, slight nicks in bag as a result. (barely noticeable)
Panniers were purchased by me, came with Orange inf panels. I got them repainted by a body shop, the paint is a bit off. The bike is cream/white, the panels are Stormtrooper white. Not a big deal to me.
The bike came with the Campbell exhaust. While good, it does not allow the use of stock panniers. I picked up a stock exhaust off Ebay from a crashed Tiger. It's got some scuffs, but is hidden within the bike/panniers. It functions perfectly with no cracks or leaks.
This bike is big. I mean massive. I am 6'3" with a 32" inseam and can barely flat-foot it. I have a buddy back in NY who is 6'11" and looks normal on one. (which is why I bought it-seriously) If you are the size of an Asian boy, this is NOT the bike for you unless you want to swap out the springs/seat/put in lowering links.

Summary
This bike is the most comfortable and high-end tourer/canyon carver I have ever had the pleasure to ride. It is WAY more bike than I deserve or even desire. (I prefer riding dirt) This bike is bulletproof and ready for a RTW adventure. Unfortunately buying our first home takes priority or I would gladly keep it.

7500 OBO
Not interested in trades...cash only
Not ready to sell anything separate
Will deliver within reasonable distance...terms TBA.
Will not cash your Nigerian bank check for 20,000 and mail you the change.
Location is the Valley, CA. (between Fresno and Sacramento)

Oh yeah....pics....
(GPS and mount not included)

'Givi 46L Monokey topcase'

Does that mean you've lost the spare key?

Dave,

Too bad about your MC, but owning your own home will compensate. There will always be another dream bike in your future.

I did without a ride for more than 10 years while we where getting into a house.

Best of luck finding a buyer for the Tiger.

John

Some of that yes.

But for $$$ sake, when we bought our first house in New Hyde Park, Long Island, the Honda 900SS had to go.

Then I slowly got back into it in the early 2000's.

HEY Dave, how's the Tiger for 2-up? Not just for a trip for eggs and milk but 3-4 hours at a time?

Hey John, I would say it's between the sportiness of the RS and the comfort of the ST. It's just a phenomenal bike in every aspect. Fast, carves turns like its on rails, bulletproof.
