In recent years I have either owned or had extensive seat time on a CBR600, VFR800, Monster 900, SV1000S, VStar 650, Magna 750, ST1300A and the current K1200GT. Out of all of those bikes, my new Tiger is by far the best all around bike and I still own the K1200GT as well.
The Tiger is everything positive you read about it. Extremely comfortable, power is just perfect for real world riding, light, easy to ride and the list goes on. I just cannot get enough of this bike.
Everybody from a hardcore sport bike guy to a novice would find this bike ideal.
Some complain about the suspension being too soft but I do not find that to be an issue at all unless you are traveling at speeds that should only be done on a race track. For even highly spirited street riding, the suspension for me is the best blend of being plush yet predictable stable.
I use the bike for everything from commuting, to evening rides to weekend trips. If I could just have one bike, this is by far the bike I would have. I used to think of the VFR as the ideal all around bike. Now the VFR is a distant memory. The Tiger offers what the VFR does in a more comfortable and more powerful package.
Upgrades/Accessories: 3 Box Pannier Set, Triumph Sport Pipe, and Low Seat.
