The local HD dealer is having a Buell demo this weekend, rode my 955 Tiger over to compare with the new Uly. I'll keep my Tiger, thank you very much.
To me the vibration at idle was way too much.
Although the hp/torque specs listed are identical, the Tiger feels much stronger all through the rev range, and much smoother. The Buell was well broken in already, around 1500 miles on the clock and had just been demo'd at a track day last week.
Handling wise, the Buell has somewhat firmer suspension but handles all bumps large and small smoothly. Tiger seems a tad more stable at parking lot speeds, but out on the road I would have to give the Buell a very slight edge. Very nice. With a little fork tuning I think my Tiger will work as well.
I like the Triumph seat a little better, riding position/layout is very similar, even lowered an inch the Tiger is still noticably taller.
All in all I find the Tiger smoother, stronger, faster, and more comfortable.
