Title speaks for itself -- BMW F850GSA or Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro?

I went to a Triumph dealer last week to look at the Bonneville (I've been drawn to the mechanical intimacy of the classic naked bikes), but realized that what I really need is an ADV with good road capabilities.

I'm mostly planning on commuting to work (about 12km each way) and road trips, but I want something that can also be used for motocamping and traveling to our cabin in the mountains.

From what I gather, these two bikes are pretty similar and I'm trying to figure out their pros and cons before landing a decision. I'm also planning on test-driving both next week before making a purchase.

You can't really go wrong with either. I say just get whichever you prefer after the test rides. If they both feel similar, go with whichever is the best deal.
