I'm not understanding how a parallel twin 800 is "buzzy".

What is the price difference between the Tiger and the F800?

Ask BMW how they accomplished it.

About $2,500.

My husband just rode my F800 after riding his HyperMotard. He says the BMW is not buzzy

I like the new Tiger - it's a VAST improvement over the last model. It's nice to see an OEM pay attention to feedback and actually DO something about it.
