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. :-)
