Make cruise control and option and I'll buy the new Tiger Sport 660

Cannot believe there is no cruise control option on the new 660

I would swap my Explorer for this in a heartbeat if there was.

I need the CC as my right wrist has a few issues that make long distances very painful if I cannot take my hand off the throttle.

Come on Triumph, it cannot be THAT hard to make it an option!

It's not -- unless the 660 lacks ride by wire. It's marketing. Want more features? Upgrade to a bigger bike.

I may have to go back to sticking a lolly stick in the gap between the throttle and the bit to the left of it. Worked on my Z550! 

I see me being torn between the 900 GT and this 660. I just feel like the 660 might just be enough for me especially as I will likely start commuting again next year. 22 miles each way I could manage without any CC no problem, it's the 200 miles plus days that get me.

It's cheaper too than the 900.

Damn you Triumph

I want to look at one when they arrive.

Check out the new Aprilia Pegaso 660, light, powerful and has cruise control.

I can't give up on Triumph. I just can't 

The Pegaso looks a little too 'adventurey' to me though I have to admit I have a soft spot for Aprilla.

Are you guys talking about the Tuareg 660?

[moggi1964]

Either? Both? Neither appeal to me sadly

The Pegaso looks to be more of a super moto.

You might well find that the lack of torque on a 660 might not suit cruise control (without the ability to fit an auto gearbox as well!).
