My 2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC 

What a awesome review, docu and trip. Love it. One of the best bikes out there. Thank you !

I keep trying to talk myself into selling my 2012 tiger 800, then I ride it for a whole day and realize that comfort and go anywhere ability will be hard to beat without spending way more money on a comparable new bike. She’s a keeper and reliable and easy to do most service on myself.

Just sold my fjr, now looking at the tiger. Love riding to the Oregon coast.

Nice Video. I own a 2012 Tiger 800xc since 2019. bought with 23.000. Now it has 78.000 km on the dash. Many km on dirt and mud. Long range travveling an clmmuting also. I never had trouble with the stepper motor. But I clean this area when I do the service every 10.000 km. 😊. Mostly I ride with ktm or yam T7 guys. And the Tiger does all the same shit as the others do. From fast gravel to single trails. And it do long distances realy comfortable! I will ride till it breaks unrepaerable! ❤

Thank you for the video. As a “new” second season rider, I chose a 2012 tiger 800. Coming from a bmw 06 f650gs I felt the same as you, I cannot stop riding it when I get on… It showed me a new world what riding can be, with its comfort and easy handling.

I am used to riding my 2018 xca with happiness. 😊

Excellent video, thank you!

Thanks for this article! I have the exact same bike and have owned it for 2yrs now. I contemplate trading it for something slightly more dirt worthy, but its road manners are so nice and it's off road capability still surprises me.. I can only afford one bike to do it all and this attractive bike does that. Maybe I'll keep it for a little while longer.. :)

I rode my buddy's Tiger 800 and now I want one. Expensive ride. I think the first gen would work well for me. I'm not used to electronic crap. Have never had an injected bike.

Very helpful!👍🏾

Wow I’m going to buy the tiger

The perfect video for me. I am currently riding a 2001 BMW F650GS, single cylinder. Today I looked at a very reasonably priced 2013 Tiger XC ABS, I knew there had to be some downsides to this bike due to the dealer price on it. I am still interested but not sure it is exactly what I want, the price is attractive but..... Thanks for your video, it came at just the right time. I love my 650GS, the only things that really bother me are the buzzyness of the handlebars at highway cruising speeds that make my hands go numb, and the air buffeting it all ready has a higher windshield than OEM. Thanks for your review. Something to think about.

These bikes still hold up today great for beginners as they are cheaper and not everyone needs tons of expensive electronics the new expensive bikes have

Great vid very informative. I have been looking at tigers and the gs. I cant get dirt riding out of me but still want something comfortable to ride long days.anything would be more comfortable than my dr650. Cheers subbed.

how many miles or km does your tiger has on its clock?

Are you running tubes in the tires? Are they Shinko?

Great video and helping me make a decision....I only ride road, 2 up...and read the XC is the better option to the XR. Do you agree? I like the feel sitting on the XC , but never test ridden.
