Don't over think it. You (probably) won't die.
My wife went from a 125 Cougar to a 600 divvy and found it a piece of cake.
Many people on here went from tiddlers to 1000cc bikes and lived to tell the tale.
Which Tiger was 600cc? The older ones are 900, 955i, and 1050. The modern small ones are 800. Not that that should be a concern as they are the easiest bikes to ride. Much much more forgiving that any sports bike. I had a 955i and it's one of the few bikes I have owned I really regretted selling.
So go buy something you like and enjoy. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

The Tiger 800 is a very gentle bike IMO. I had one for a week or so while my Brutale was having its radiator replaced. I found riding it a bit like driving a car. Seating / handlebar position is close to a scooter too, although wider. It's got a mild, linear acceleration profile - something peaky is more likely to catch you out, which it isn't. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
