Excellent overall package. I will happily upgrade from my 2012 tiger 800. Adjustable suspension, 17” front wheel and more power at the same weight sounds perfect.
@soloq_bunchofnumbers I get it but if you want a modern junk tft so bad go get one. Looks like you prefer a worse preforming bike with a pretty dash instead of a nicer bike with one bad dash
The display is fine. I've got it on my Striple R and I much prefer it to the overly busy RS one. I think they'd have to really change the seat, I hate the one on the 660.
Exactly. I don't see the issue, especially since with motorcycles, you need to be even more road focused than riding in a car. It's uncluttered and inobtrusive and clearly shows you the data you need (your speed and fuel) and get your eyes back on the road. If you're riding a motorcycle, you shouldn't be looking at the dash for long.
Looks great! I would have preferred a slightly more aggressive front end (think harder lines on the headlights) but overall its a very nice looking bike!
People hating on the display are nuts dude. I put a downpayment to get one already. Should arrive at my dealer in March. I own an MT09 with a tft display and honestly the only things I need on the display is rev counter, fuel gauge and speed. Having the gear indicator is nice too. This bike has all of that information, I don't know what the fuzz is about, if having that display will keep the bike at a lower cost, then please keep the display. Adding a fancy tft display will probably bump the price up to Trace 9 prices, I rather have a lower quality display to keep the price lower.
Great bike in my opinion which makes a lot of sense due to its versability. I hope they will even bring a 1200ccm version with a slightly downtuned speed triple engine.
Because the specifications of the Tiger 850 Sport and Tiger Sport 800 are too close, it seems like the division between the intended buyers has become unclear.
Hmm, is it different enough from its smaller sibling? I would be much more interested if it had the 1200 engine returned for midrange. Maybe I'm out of the loop, and smaller capacity is the future!
I did a test ride on a 660 adventure and liked it, but the engine felt lacking compared to my rs. The new 800 is a shut up and take my money bike, even with the ugly display
The dash is awful not because it lacks colors or even being low res... it includes all the necessary information (haven't seen any turn by turn, but it should be ok, as I am used to a beeline)... What I am gripping about are those white lines... it looks something the car manufacturers from the 80 would paint over the car dash to make it more Racy... awful just awful... unfortunately It is a place you are constantly looking to. maybe some clean replacement will be made available from 3rd party vendor... even if just as a sticker.
Not impressed: Triumph discontinued the original Tiger Sport 1050 and now are trying hard to make of the new 800cc a big deal, when it has less 11hp and 25nm of torque. And i don't see a top box on the 800cc as well, something very handy for every day use and touring... Will Triumph ever make a true comeback of the Tiger Sport?
You're right, i checked their online configurator and actually there's s top box available and also with capacity for 2 helmets! I'm still disapointed especially with the engine and i don't know what to think about some more details... (Fuel tank capacity, handguards not standard, no option for electronic suspension...)
