I've been toying with the idea of trading for the new Tiger myself. Compared to a Speed Triple, the ergonomics feel very relaxed, so I guess it's all a matter of perspective.
The ergonomics of the new Tiger are great, don't get me wrong. They just weren't quite right for me. Like you mentioned, it is truly all perspective. Another factor involved some future aspirations. I have read Rebecca's? blog involving her trip through New Mexico and Arizona quite a bit. I haven't enjoyed reading something so much in a long time. I sure would like to make some trips, at least to West Texas in the future. I have never gotten out of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area on a motorcycle. The sportbike I had before kept me in town. I sure would like to make some trips in the future, if I ever get up the nerve. The 06 Tiger seemed to afford a little more room for gear and maybe even a passenger. Who knows though, it will probably be like everything else with me, I'll talk about what I would like to do and never do it.
