Today I have experienced big disappointment with tiger and I don't understand from where all those raving reviews come from about the triple engine, its smoothness, fly by wire, flat torque curve etc etc. Nothing was true during my test ride. I hated ride by wire, felt disconnected from the bike. Engine not much smoother then my twin on nc750x, and that annoying high pitch sound, awful! Torque? didn't notice it, without revving the engine doesn't really exist. No comparison to nc750x at all. Now something I don't understand - the suspension, it was supposed to be very good WP stuff etc. I tested "road" and "off-road" settings and couldn't tell much of a difference from my honda "crappy" suspension on very bumpy road, where I test all bikes usually. Experience was terrible. Final nail in the coffin was the dashboard...what a mess I was offered $3k off the tag price and I didn't want it, no tiger for me. F800GS or new Africa Twin maybe.
