Well I have had Black Beauty (Tiger1050) now for just over 14 months, and have put about 9500 miles on her. I have to say I am in love with this bike as much or more than my Serenity (02 TBA). Comparing the two bikes isn't really possible because they are so different, which is the great thing about having both of them.

I will say that the Tiger is a much more natural ride for me, and every time I get on her it's like I become part of the bike. On the America I actually have to think about it for a couple of minutes. It's hard to explain, if you haven't ridden both bikes the same day.

The Tiger is a little harder to work on versus the America, but I still enjoy both bikes, and they both serve a distinct purpose. I will probably start riding the America more this Summer, at least locally. Currently getting the Tiger ready for some long distance running.
