Although I know this isn't the place to get unbiased opinions, I thought I'd ask anyway. Planning on possibly making a straight trade of my '06 RIII Classic for an '08 Tiger 1050. Info on the Rocket--dual headlight relay, rivco risers, ignition switch relo, sissybar/rack, D&D's with tune, heated grips, fuel gauge, electronic cruise control, summer screen. Rear tire fairly worn. 16K miles.
Info on Tiger--heated grips, panniers & top box, centerstand, new tires, 3 shields (Standard, MRA Vario and ZB touring), risers, gel seat, lowering kit, handguards. Less than 10k miles.
I know about the KBB trade in value difference of about 900 bucks, and I know the torque and power I'd be giving up, and the only 2 things I'm not thrilled with on the Rocket are the engine heat on the legs and the amount of effort required in turns. I know we don't have too many twisties here in SW Florida, but we definitely have the heat. I also know that this is like comparing apples to oranges.
Any opinions, biased or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated before I make this straight up trade.
Thanks.
