Toured with the wife Spain for two weeks many times and ridden Iron but challenge 1000miler in 24 hours and about to do it again this June. It does everything very well. PS I'm 5'6 and not a problem though had custom lower seat made (£340) plus part time instructor and IAM rider but don't wear a polite vest and not called Nigel.. ex biker gang member from 70 80's.

I have owned a Vstrom for nearly six years and 54,000 ks love it, It is just so damn good and had no thoughts of replacing it. Went to a motorbike museum and saw a red Tiger 1050 belonging to the museums owner (Long story but this guy has won multiple NZ titles racing bikes). Fell in love with it I think I may have found the Strom's replacement. Like the Strom it sounds a great allrounder. Most my trips are long rides 600 - 800 k's on NZ's open roads. Which the Tiger sounds perfect for. I take it your bike has ABS now compulsory here with new bikes.

@@JonnyLeeguitarist Well I bit the bullet and bought a 2009 Triumph Tiger 1050 three days ago. First impressions compared to the Vstrom 650 it 'seems' lighter, it is easier to ride. The windscreen and mirrors on the Vstrom are superior. The engine at low revs is still very smooth and still pulls like crazy by comparison the Vstrom was a bit like a tractor. The handling and brakes unsurprisingly are superior to the Strom. That engine is just glorious, utterly sublime. Seating position is good and at 5' 11" have no problem putting my feet on the deck. I think I am going to love this bike - my niece is begging me to take her for a ride. And the bike looks great, it looks bloody superb with the matching panniers on or off.

Sold it as have no use for it now that I've got a TS1050. Missis prefers it on the back, loads more space on the seat, and now she doesn't fly forward when I shut the throttle off, which I had a habit of doing on the Suzuki with its immense engine braking!😉

I've recently bought an 07 1050. I've put over 2000km on it so far. Comparing it to my 08 XJR1300, I find it a bit top heavy and the lean angle on the side stand seems too steep. Rides nice, especially for long distances. For manoeuvrability in the city, I prefer the XJR. For raw power, either real or perceived, the XJR. For weekends away and touring, the Tiger.
