Tiger 800 / DL650 Gen 2

Recommended Posts

Looking for someone local that has either of the following bike that might let me take it for a ride here is my situation.

i have a 70 mile commute one way I am looking for a bike that get 50ish mpg commuting and is between 600-800cc

the biggest issue i have is finding a bike that give me clean air to ride in

i have a 990 and gen2 dl1000 neither of which is proving to be a good tool for this job so hoping someone would let me try a quick sprint on the freeway to get idea if either of these are viable options

i need an upright riding position which is why i gravitate towards these kinds of bikes

so.....

I've had both and both are gone for different reasons. Didn't check the Tiger, but always 50+ MPG on the '05 DL650. Clean air with a Madstadt shield. 

A consideration - parts availability and price.  

Call Ted at Southbay Motorsports. He handles Triumph and Suzuki - might let you get your question answered.

Good luck with the hunt.
