I've taken a couple of test rides on the Tiger and it simply hasn't grabbed my imagination. I have recently ridden a 2005 BMW 1200 GS in Europe for around 2,500 miles and am feeling the need to buy one. It is an unbelievable bike to ride and the handling is beyond belief. The only problem I found with the bike is that at highway speeeds (in Europe anyway) at anything above 120 mph it feels a little shakey - probably due to the high riding position. I have had multiple Triumphs and currently spend a lot of time on my Daytona 900 (and sometimes even still break out my Bonneville for a ride) and would like to stick with Triumph - but with the exception of the price difference I can see no reason to bet a Tiger. Any thoughts?
