Back in '02 Motorcycle Consumer News tested both bikes. At that time,
the R1150GS Adventure weighed 613.5 pounds wet, while the Tiger weighed
542.5 pounds wet. Oddly enough, last time I saw a '99 ST w/ panniers
and half a tank of gas on a set of scales it weighed in at 540 pounds.
Surprisingly little difference in weight between the two Triumphs, eh?
(Oooops, been spending too much time in Canada. :-)
