The new Tiger 800... very tasty, was looking at one today, should be test riding it in a week or two. Can't afford one, mind

If you off-road at all, check the wheel sizes - I don't think you can fit nobblies to them.

Many happy miles on her KM,, stay safe :ridin:

I'll never effect change with the word "c*nt". I really enjoy saying it, but I'll never make anything better with clever vitriol. And I really want to be a guy who makes things better. It's too f*cking easy and god-lazy to be a destroyer. Being a father has made that very clear to me.

Yes it the Tiger 800 (the road oriented version)

The colour, as per the photo = Venom Yellow

Not planning any off road, just like the riding position, the engine and the ride. Believe it or not it's only the 2nd test ride I can ever remember taking. Maybe my memory is worse than I think.

Hazardo - Think you'll like the ride.

Never seen the tiger in that blue colour before, it's beautiful!

Your parting with the nicer bike me thinks!! But each to their own as they say.

Best of luck with the new machine :thumbsfupped:

The XC has larger spoked wheels for that very reason and an extra £500 on the price tag. I was looking at them today down in Cork and the XC was an altogether larger machine than the road going item although they are same engine and frame. It is still the Sprint though that wins my heart.

Dublin Triumph

Kildareman - I take it you got the 800 and I was wondering what you think of it? I had a look at one in Dublin Triumph the other day and they are a nice bike. I have a TDM and the TDM forum have had a lot of chat about the new Triumph. I think it might be my next bike so keep that one nice and clean and we might talk some day!

This will sound such a yawn but it really is brilliant. Am really enjoying it. Just having 1st service today. It's as good as my 1050 was in most departments and better in terms of handling. It REALLY is well balanced and flicks from side to side way better than a 19 inch front wheel should, better than a 17 inch. Test ride and you'll probably buy.
