well tested this weekend and big group ride up from gloucester to oulton park on the scenic route and back via a different scenic route and finally into heavy rain for last leg home. points; 1. at 50 to 70 in the group i felt like i was getting sucked in and having to push away from the bars(makes for achey shoulders)engine was smooth drives amazingly well and the T.C. is nice too had to adjust myself forwards to get the right feel from front overall use a tank bag to to stopp the swirl and getting sucked in similar feel to a pan with the screen up.2.dirt tracks at the race track easy t.c. kicked in but drave great thing it could handle a little mor than a fire trail with right tyres.3.fast ride home now when its legs get stretched omg it shows how good it is 85-90kph tight and twisty long flowing straights at these speed the aforementioned suction disapears and gets more comfy silky and stable everywhere no complaints at all.4.in heavy rain and lightning hummm dont like riding in lightning makes you flinch at at proper motorway speeds but stayed fairly dry due to the bubble you get so that was nice protection but 2 up a little vortex pulls the rain between you and passenger so got a nice wet bum doh!!! also noticed at these speeds my normally quiet x-551 gets quite a roar....not happened 0n me 995 or zx7r. hit a major puddle at speed and it didnt twitch or aquaplane great and stable. wife was very comfortable and she enjoyed the ride but there not such a view on if looking left and right on the tiiger she can get a bit better view over me
