Tiger F4 250

[RaysFan]

Just wondering what everyones opinions are on the Tiger F4 250... Anyone own one? Any problems? How is the top speed and acceleration? How does it compare to the Japanese 250's?

I had a test ride a couple of years ago, Tiger factory were very helpful and friendly when arranging it.

I really wanted to like the bike but the engine felt quite agricultural although bottom end torque was very good. Top end tailed off early and rapidly but then this is no sportster. Vibration was there but not too bad. I really disliked the brakes which lacked feel and not up to Jap standards.

Finish was ok'ish but not up to Jap standard again. Welds looked solid but too many looked messy to me

Just not good enough for me I'm afraid.

I rode pillion on one in Khon Kaen about 4 years ago (might've been a 200 actually).

My bum was sore.

the bloke who rode it up from Bangkok bought a pillow and taped it to the seat for the return journey. I'm sure he is (was - probably got banned for something innocuous) a member on here.
