Nice carpet.

Still think they're ugly. The new Speed Triple's headlights especially need to go in the skip.

I really like the Great Escape tribute, although I think I would prefer the rack on the tank and a double seat.

But I don't know where they are going with the other two, it's like they're trying too hard.

The headlight/fairing thing on the Speed is indescribably bad and what's the red subframe all about?

As for that other thing, that's just amateur night, I've seen better than that knocked up in a shed; too many baubles and differing styles, the whole thing looks like it's fighting with itself and everything is losing.

Flat metallic green paint? What's that about? Doesn't look particularly faithful to any 'great escape' bike I've ever seen, don't get it.
I think the Bonneville pastiche is distasteful and a bit of an insult to the originals personally, couldn't they have applied the name to something more in-keeping with what the Bonnie was in its era?

Oh well, I love the Tiger, and that Bonny. Can't say the Speed floats my boat as much though.

I'm going to get that Tiger I think. I was looking at the 1050 but shaft drive, 1200cc and SS swing arm, oh yum Mr. Green

Having seen a Tiger in the carpark at work all I can say is its a beast, a rather handsome beast. The rest of the bikes are a little not my cuppa.

Who do you work for Andy? I was there too, in fact was half expecting to see myself on one of the pics.

Cheap Ohlins? NIX30 and TTX36 ain't cheap. Add in the forged PVM wheels too and it is quite a performance increase, for those that are after it.

I'm not too keen on the Steve Mcqueen though, it's just a T100 crossed with a Scrambler. With a green seat. Sick

The Tiger Explorer does look very nice though, like a Tiger 800 on steroids. I'm looking forward to riding one, although I think it might be a little big for me.

It's like, I can see that there's a massive quantity of prime boob-flesh there, but somehow I just don't have a hard on for it.

OK, I quite like the green thing, but I'm not going to go out and buy it new, and neither is anyone under the age of 40. Best of British luck to them though.

The Speeds' headlamps always remind me of the glasses the old ladies wear in Gary Larsons "The Far Side" cartoons.

Tiger still proudly showing off that biscuit sized rear tyre Neutral

Was down Laguna today and they had the speed/street with the newer lights, not my cuppa either.
