perspective?

I don't have your experience with Tigers.
I had two Thruxtons before I got the Tiger and what I notice is my comfort factor pushing it over into the turns.
The Thrux is so much lower, and "feels" more responsive because of the driver position.
What I feel is that even though I think I've got it over, the chickenstrips say otherwise.
It must be the ride-height and much higher center-of-gravity.

Have you considered having a friend tape you in the turns to check your posture and entry dynamics?
