Can't get Virgin media where I live otherwise it would be considered.

Is Eurosport player a subscription service or fee app Peej?

Paid unfortunately mate, £5.99 a month but at the moment they are offering a years access for just £19.99

I only £2.99 a month for Eurosport player, it must have been on a deal but that was years ago and the price has never changed for me.
Never had a problem with it and if you can't watch the races live they're really good at getting the on demand video of it up and running, must faster than BT sport were.

Mine came with an aftermarket MRA screen with the small adjustable piece.
I can sit at 80 perfectly comfortably, on maximum setting I get a little buffeting on my helmet (oo-err) I'd prefer an extra setting or something slightly taller but it depends how tall you are.
Also have the factory heated grips and hand guards, perfect.

As for the seat, I rolls partway up the fuel tank up front which stops you cracking your nutts on pot holes. The seat is a little softer and wider an inch or two back, just shuffle back a touch.
There is a gel seat option which might be worth it if you can find it as it's normally expensive.

No regrets on swapping to a tiger 1050 in April, awesome bike, awesome engine, just does everything.
I had a look at the HIDs installed, can't see a specific name in the paperwork, just a leaflet for HID xenon lights.
I haven't ridden with the stock projector lamps in these versions but the HID kit is great.

Swapped to a '07 Tiger 1050 back in April - I certainly don't regret it.
I only do road riding and it does everything I could ever want. The triple engine is lovely, a proper Arrow can is a must to get the full fruity sound. If you do so get the ECU mapped, stop by a Dealer and they'll do it for £20 there and then.

The first gen 1050's had projector headlamps which I've heard can be a bit crap, however mine is fitted with HIDs from a previous owner, nothing back to say about them though, fantastic clarity at night.

Factory fitted heated grips on some models, nice and tidy, no messy wires, just a shame the switch for them is on a rocker switch by the dash, not easy to reach on the move.

Super comfy and it can hustle along nicely - I don't find the long forks a problem, the dive under breaking not as drastic as I expected. over 200 mile tank range on the motorway but general road riding and larking about I get 170 ish. With standard exhaust and engine map you'd get more.

Plenty of other bikes that would do the same job but if you want a change from jap fours then a triple is epic.

I never saw a tiger 1050 in a good state and mileage below 4.5k - a few about in the 35-40k mileage in budget though.
Cracking bike if you can get one.
Can probably pick up the tiger 955 in budget though.

Welcome! - I'm just on the Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Northants border.
Used to have an A1P myself but like most here no longer have a kwak.

Anyway, hello and happy riding!

Arrow fitted and the ECU mapped by my local triumph dealership.



Video of before, not the best quality of audio using a phone but it'll have to do. Video resolution and quality reduced to save file size, it's the audio thats important.



Video of afterwards, It's not silly noisy by any means, just a bit more base and generally sounding nice, quite happy.

Got to love it when a plan comes together.... Soon ... soon.

Pipe was posted today - I'll make sure to record the audio, poorly with my phone most likely with a before and after.
I'll fit it and see what the local triumph place charge to do the remap, if reasonable I'll just get them to do it.

Away for start of the weekend at a funeral so may not get around to fitting it until early next week.

Arrow bought!
Looks like I'll have to download an ECU map for it but seems pretty straight forward looking at this:

Get the Arrow fitted - make it sound proper!!

It's on my list, although in my price range I was thinking the Scorpion would be all I could get.
Just seen a used but excellent condition arrow on ebay for £200 - Might have to nab that before it goes.....

My dad picked up one of those in green last autumn, I've had a go on one myself and quite liked them. Just not in my budget.

Happy riding!

Nice bike mate and yes I'll be at the TT 3rd to 10th June

I'll be on the rock from the 4th - 10th. May see you around.

I've been lurking on the forums still but i'm still about.

Sold the little Honda NSR 125R I bought from Komp and then swapped the Z750R in and picked up an 07 Tiger 1050 on Wednesday.
The riding I've been doing over the past few years is road only, mid to long trips and motorway. A naked bike was fun on the back roads and town but after nearly 4 years with the 750 it was time for a change.

A bit older of a bike but nice bits with it HID lamps and an ABS model too. I turned 30 this year, old before my time? 

Great road presence and visibility is ace, stand on the pegs and look over range rover land tanks. Motor is good fun and the 17" wheels means its still fun on all roads. Looking forward to getting out on it again this weekend 

Bring on TT 2016 - Anyone else going?

Rode to work Thursday, lovely day, good days work and good ride home in lovely weather.
Then got a puncture a few miles from home, limped back on an almost flat rear...
Was planning on new boots front and rear but I guess it'll happen sooner than planned now.
