That is one sweet noise. Impressive looking machine.

Apparently the new Tiger 900 sounds like a twin too.

That's a good review. Looks like Honda have made a lot of changes to the bike.

They do sound sweet. I love the noise from mine.

I tried the new one. It does sound good. The AS is slightly lower than mine. Some nice changes have been made but feck me, how many buttons how can you fit on a bike?

As with most bikes now it's got loads of features. The big screen is a touch screen. It's very easy to use and read.

The extra cc does make a difference, it's a slightly punchier and quicker bike.

31 degrees (sweat) (sweat) nice day for a test ride...

Bit disappointed with the MPG figures though, you could have enjoyed the bike a bit more than that ;) ;)

Does the touchscreen work with gloves on ??

The screen does work with gloves on.

Those aren't my mpg figures, there's 4 trip screens.
