The Tiger was almost identical to the Bonneville and claimed to have performance to spare, with tractability and smooth running. The 650 TR6R proved to be only slightly slower at the top end than the Bonneville and its single Amal carburetor needed less fettling, but it still boasted gusty grunt at low revs and better fuel economy.
