Obviously the TE is a heavier "Bent" than a TiGRR. The Ti absorbs the bumps more than the TE so it is a more comfortable ride BUT when I was astride the TE there where no complaints from me on the ride or handling of the TE. I love the design but I wish there had been more thought in using more advanced fasteners instead of hose clamps, etc. When one pays high dollars for an exceptional machine one expects the quailty to transcend thoughout the machine. Example Lexus vs Ford

Carpe Diem
