Also - The Vinson has a rear disc brake vs the drum on the Eiger. Vinson weighs about 25 lbs. more, carries 1 gallon more of fuel. Vinson also has adjustable shocks vs non-adjustable on the Eiger. Vinson is liquid cooled, Eiger has fan + oil cooler. Vinson costs $1,200-1,500 more.

The Vinson seems to have had a few more teething pains than the Eiger but both are outstanding bikes.
