I also had a Triumph Tiger 900. Sweet triple sound and a pretty good road bike. It did OK on forest service roads and such but it was porky and top heavy. I know the newer Tigers are a different animal but I have no first hand experience with them. My Wee-Strom did well even loaded up for camping road trips:
