Although,,,, I have been doing some comparisons with the Tenere... and,,, well,,, despite the massive power difference the Tenere handles the mountain roads much better, is faster and more responsive on difficult roads. The Tiger is more at home on the more open roads. They do make a nice combination of bikes to have, as they pretty much cover all conditions between them.
Yes, you've got a good combo there! Mine's more for long haul runs to and from Aberdeen just now, but I should really get a trailie as well... I suppose I should have bought your TT600?!
