having just bought one, whilst I think I see what you mean - the
closest bike I have to compare against it is an R1150GS, and the Tiger
feels *much* quicker than I remember the RGS being. Itll do me for a
season at least, and with it having so fucking few miles on the
clock[1] I dont reckon Ill lose much if I only keep it a year.

[1] as in, I put >5% of the total mileage on the clock riding it home
for the first time.
