    Welcome and congratulations on your purchase. Have you bought from Bulldog in Wokingham? They quoted a 9-month (!) lead time on a Tiger 850 Sport but I couldn't wait so got a used Tiger 900GT instead. Pleased with my choice and sure you will be with yours.

    Hi thanks, I went over to Bulldog and had a chat with them but I ordered from Premier Bikes in Abingdon/Oxford a slightly better deal from them but lead time was about the same time, I had to get my name down and pay a deposit fast as they were going quick. I take it your local as well… Ride safe & enjoy

    Bit colder than Berkshire I think as we're Welsh borders and the roads are very greasy and pretty icy in the mornings....but Spring will be here for us all soon!!

    Yep, really greasy. Not as bothered about cold if it's sunny, but greasy I do not like. I took my new - to - me bike out on Friday as I couldn't wait any longer but was so conservative as I was worried about traction!!

    I actually purchased from Carl Rosner Motorycles - better prices and great service. The chaps at Bulldog seemed nice but their prices...!

    Totally agree, always a bit more pricey it’s the area I guess. Where is Carl Rosner Motorycles not familiar with them, did you find them better priced on all aspects or just servicing etc ?
