Quote:Sorry to disagree, but the Triumph Tiger was very poor on road handling, noise & wind buffeting.
I've heard other people talking of this noise & buffeting on the Tiger; all I can say is, there is far less wind noise than my FZS600 ( I no longer bother with ear plugs, when on the Tiger), and I can sit at any speed I like (tested to 120 so far) with no buffeting whatsoever. I'm 6 foot 2, so no midget to hind behind the screen - who knows, maybe that helps?
As for the handling, I found it very strange when I first rode the road version, but started to adapt. When I bought, I got the XC, and I think this actually handles better than the roadie. Ray, which version did you ride?
