In all the years the Speed Triple has been out there has one reviewer has ever acknowledged you have to sit with your nuts smashed against the tank.

When I road my 07 Speedy home 75 miles from the dealer, that was my first comment when I got the helmet off in the driveway. Corbin solved it for me and about 12k miles later.
Back to the Tiger, I'll have to agree with Rince's comment on the bars. They are quite high and were the first change I made. I was lucky I had the leftover bar kit from the Speedy.
If you are looking for a KLR with balls, the Tiger 800's are kinda like the compromise between my DR and the 1050. I have a DR 650 and use it around town all the time. The Tiger is fine in an urban setting, but the DR is just effortless in city traffic. I had a short ride on the non XC model and came away pretty impressed. New model might be harder to get a deal though, and I still think I'd take a 1050 at the moment.
