Sorry to disagree, but the Triumph Tiger was very poor on road handling, noise & wind buffeting.
wel yesterday i went with the missus for a test on the BMW f800st with the thinking Bmw touring bike for next year, bike 5000 miles on the clock ,heated grips, bmw sat nav,and intercom, two seat options mmmm went for the high comfy seat , started up nice throaty sound from the exhaust sat on nice a comfy and light right off for ride very long clutch travel and gear change very clunky worse than the yam off we went slipping and sliding on the seat trying to stop my nuts from cracking every time i slowed down, changed gear, or braked not happy stright back to bmw with only 10 miles done , change of seat and wifey does not want to go as she was scared with bracing herself and holding on for dear life due to seat and the fact the footrests were too close for passenger and rider suspension was good thouthe ride was better but had a scary moment when back wheel slipped but the engine vibes from the twin was awfull seemed like it was miss firing type of thing and when the engine was turned off it stopped with a clunk might try a bmw1200rt next year to see if that was better but got on the fz600 comfy and non viby just need suspension sorting so dosent dive so much and jump over bumps while trying to take a piece of ya spine
Took it for a test ride brilliant bike 08 plateaus didn't find anything wrong with rear suspension bike had only done 9000 miles tho missus loved the ride as well as me lovely suspension compared to the fz6 no crashing over bumps and bouncing off them too ,only thing wrong seat might be a wee too high ,tried a different seat by the bloke from huddersfield and slightly better just got to sort finace out now :-D
