    ST or Tiger Sport???

    I’m currently have a Speed Triple that I love but 2 tours or N Spain have taught me that it’s not ideal for my next adventure- 2-3 month tour of Europe.

    I love the engine but there’s no way my knees will take so much riding time so do I buy an ST or Tiger Sport??

    Having had both i would say that the bars on the st are at a too much of an inward angle and they hurt your wrists,tried it with bar risers but the bars need to be pushed forward,the more upright position of the sport makes it far more comfortable over distance imo and you can throw it about well,just need the right tyres and they are very finnicky with chain adjustment,but i would still go with the sport.

    I've just bought a Sprint GT, and love the riding position. Maybe I'm old school. I am also way too short in the leg for a heavy adventure bike - I can touch the floor, but can't paddle it about. I know you can get low seats, but that seems to defeat the object.
