Essentially the same bike but one dual-purpose (on-off) oriented (forks, shocks, clearance, wheel travel etc.), also with touring capability and probably targeted at the BMW GS 800.
This size engine was long-awaited (until the GS800 came)
for by the adventure-touring crowd, where the 1200's etc. were too heavy and the 650's too small.

The other a street-oriented baby Tiger.
