I run an 02 Tiger on which I have covered much of mainland Europe and Norway. As I need to replace my bike now I've been keeping my eye on the new Tiger. It seems that Triumph are taking the Tiger down the Supermoto route and leaving the ST to fill the Sport/tourer spot in the line-up. This is a shame. Yes Geoff I know that the Tiger looks like it caught fire and someone put it out with a shovel but it's as good a tourer as any GS. All Triumph had to do was fit the new 1050 motor, add shaft drive and update the styling and they'd be right up there with KTM taking the smugness out of BMW.
