Greetings Gents,

I have been in the market for a good touring bike for some time but lately the adventure bikes have struck my eye. I went to look at the Tiger 800 yesterday and it was love at first site. However, I mostly ride with my brothers and they have the Kawa Concours 14. They like to cruise around 85-90mph on the interstate and when we take some longer trips I don't want to be the straggler. I had looked at the BMW 800ST and 800GT but they actually have lower hp than the Tiger 800 so I don't think those bikes would buy me much. The Triumph Sprint GT looks to bridge the gap but at $15,000 MSRP, it is quite an investment.


What are your thoughts on the Tiger 800? Would I have any problem keeping up with them and even if I could would the wind buffeting beat me up over the long haul?

Thank you for your time.
