Thanks very much for the responses ...... it all sounds pretty positive.
The spec comparison is interesting because I had more or less discounted the Alp based on the specs - however, sitting on one and pushing it round the dealers, it just felt soooo different to the Tiger. I put that down to centre of gravity and seat shape. Also apparently, Honda quote 'wet' weights whereas Triumph quote 'dry' weights.
Looks as though I really need to try and get a test ride somewhere.
Any comments on whether the new ABS is considered the best of the breed or is a previous incarnation better?
