I could never be proud of owning something run off in a factory like a newspaper off the press. But if had formed a relationship with it through restoring, customizing, and later caring for it .. I'd be proud.
Yes, i thought the same JD.Originally Posted by jonny danger
mrl129 nice post...what did annoy on the BMW you had? I wonder how the approach to a tiger boxer would be if you label it with the Cagiva name?? 'cause the Boxer is an offspring of the Cagiva F4 ( not the supersport bike which they have now, but it was an asian only model, sorry i used the name Cagiva F150 in post nr 14 which was incorrect)...

"i wanna ride you"
Hello Mbox,
If Tiger kept an Italian name and identity they would probably be more respected here. Most of the Thais I talked to look at me like I'm crazy when I say I like the Boxer, go figure. We did the same in Canada, everyone was Chevy or Ford when I was a kid, nobody wanted a Volvo, or Saab, or lord help us a Bricklin.
I think a used bike is gonna drop 30% from new. Your friend should enjoy his boxer for another year then sell it for 50,000, or drop the price to 50,000. Thats a hard hit for him(sort of, only 800 bucks)but for only 15,000 less than new, I'll get new. Virgin bike, my choice of colours and accessories. Just my thoughts.

Hi Marcus,
I think Tiger had not the option of keeping the brandname Cagiva - it may have worked if Cagiva did stop operations but they are still around...it was Cagiva that pulled out from the "Asian idea", if i remember correctly.
You are right, a new one is giving you the chance to break it in yourself, and modify as you wish and have the color of your choice too. I would also opt for the new Bike.
Happy trails,

It sucks.
The bike is great though.
Only room for one on the Ninja. You have to leave the blonde. Pity.
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
Well there'd presumably be your dishes and bathroom floors for her to clean.
And that's just a rear cowl cover. Rear seat fits on in about 3 seconds.
