2025 Triumph Tiger 800 Sport, my perfect bike????

[@nanaholic01]

Greetings from fellow Triumph owner living in Japan, The pricing for the Tiger Sport 800 is out - 1,395,000yen tax included. It's cheaper than the Tracer9 GT by 100k, even WITH the piss weak Yen. Triumph Japan has been very aggressive with pricing in Japan that they are either matching or undercutting the local guys in many cases, and that's not including the promotional packages they do as well. I'd expect individual Triumph Japan dealers will be throwing together full panier packages heavily discounted or even free to hit their sales target, like some of them did with the Tiger 900.

[@KairyuRider]

Hey, thanks for coming buy. That's great, I say the price, wassent sure it was with tax or not.

[@gtrguy17]

You finally did it Triumph! I’m sold!!!

[@zakw3637]

Awesome to see relatively lightweight right-power touring bikes making a comeback. Also appreciate the features-to-price value from a manufacturer who knows how to build a chassis. Well done Triumph.

[@cpuuk]

I do agree, the Tiger 800 does look damn good.

[@ozzydr]

I've had Tiger 660 sport what an amazing bike was.. swapped it out with street triple RS, after then some Harleys now I'm riding a Multistrada 1260s if I didn't go with Ducati the new Tiger 800 would be a go! That triple sound and a comfortable ride gives you just pure pleasure. Appreciate what Triumph does!!

[@roberta.6579]

This was the perfect time to upgrade to a 6 inch TFT LCD dash from the 660 tiger sport. Another missed opportunity

[@KairyuRider]

@roberta.6579 I'm sure part of it is coming in cheaper than the tracer. But I do agree, it would be nice to have be it simple one like my honda

[@dragoclarke9497]

Good video. I agree, the Triumph is a very nice looking bike, good features too (like you I actually like the simplicity of the dash). For a sports touring bike I'd definitely consider it, in fact I might try getting a test ride next year. Ride safe.

[@KairyuRider]

@@dragoclarke9497 it's something special for sure. You to!

[@Az_Rides]

A 2024 900 GT owner who's not going to dedicated off-road trails, I would've got this if it was an option. Still going through reviews and all, 1st impression is killer, for me.

[@Banditmanuk]

This new Tiger 800 Sport does look brilliant. My wife's Street Triple 675 is at 40,000 miles, nearly 9 years old and zero issues. Triumph quality is right up there in our opinion

[@KairyuRider]

@@Banditmanuk I'd love to think I had bad luck. They do make great bikes

[@TreBielle]

As a blue '08 Tiger 1050 owner, I'm very interested in this bike and I will go for a test. The dash is not the best looking one, but I prefer to look at the road..

[@KairyuRider]

@@TreBielle loved my 1050

[@KazurinRyuu]

That dash looks like something from 30 years ago.. Other than that, it has most features you would want for a road bike and it should probably handle like a more premium Tiger 660. We'll have to see how much that premium will be priced at

[@KairyuRider]

@KazurinRyuu yes. If that price is with tax, beats the yamaha. If not.... I don't think I'd pick it over the tracer plus

[@sattvicvelo3506]

Agree on the dash - fucking ghastly

[@logangodofcandy]

We didn't have digital dashboards like that in 1994

[@jaide1312]

The only sport tourers I dig are the ones that really try to look like a sport bike like the old VFR 800 or Triumph Sprint. I guess the Daytona 660 would fit that bill well if it got the same update as the Trident with the cruise control. Still, I don't get all the ADV's in my country when there are hardly any places to go offroad. Something like this tiger sport makes way more sense than a GS, and yet everyone wants those.

[@KairyuRider]

@jaide1312 I got my transalp to see what the hype is. It's nice. But yes it's more an image like an suv. People would be better in a hatch back. And riders would be better on something like this most of the time

[@davidmain3]

If Triumph add a 1200 version with a shaft drive they will have great touring machine to match anything

[@KairyuRider]

@@davidmain3 I always thought 120hp was the max for a reasonable bike on the street. Chains are more efficient and not that much maintenance But I can see the appeal of a shaft

[@chrisrobinson79]

Love it!!!!😎🌴

[@clayfarnet970]

I love them, but the engine heat is a big problem for me. Southern summer heat makes it a deal killer. Beautiful bike. 👍👍

[@KairyuRider]

Great point, Living in Kansai Japan, I'll need to see what the heat is like

[@chrissunde1104]

This bike seems like a winner.

[@prof.2248]

Good direction ! Not heavy bulky adv again

[@marcoaguiar3226]

Suzuki gsx s1000 gx is also looking amazing for the price and has 150hp...

[@KairyuRider]

@marcoaguiar3226 that's way to much power and weight for my riding in japan. But does look good.

[@slowsteve3497]

I bought a tiger 660 two years ago for about 12k. Now worth 4k with low miles. In perfect shape. It’s fun bike. But a little small for me. Riding a r12gs now.

[@SomewhereInside]

The Kawasaki Versys 650 non Lams Version , is the most overlooked bike as far as sports tourers are concerned . And anyone who hasn’t ridden one , has no idea what they can do . If Kawasaki in 2025 only updated a few things on the Versys , such as reduce seat height , make the adjustable screen 60mm taller , and introduced Apple /android play on a bigger TFT screen , I would trade my 23 model Versys in on it , without a hesitation . 15500kms on the Versys it feels and looks brand new .😊

[@KairyuRider]

@@SomewhereInside kawasaki doesn't sell the versus 650 in japan, only the 1000/1100. Just like yamaha only sels the tracer 9gt and gt plus, no tracer 9 or tracer 7

[@SomewhereInside]

@@KairyuRider wow ..very odd considering , Japanese people aren’t exactly beefy and tall..the lighter more nimble 650 would logically be more popular .

[@2WheeledShenanigan-gs7cl]

I ride 2013 Ninja 650 and this powerplant is seriously due for an overhaul. I wanted to demo the new model but it was booked all day however I was able to ride the z650rs just so I could get a feel for the new ones. I know they've made some refinements but honestly I wasn't all that impressed with it, had the same vibrations in the handlebars as mine. I went for a weekend trip over the summer and it just about killed me, I'm good for a couple of hours at first but then it really starts wearing on you and have to make stops way more frequently which kills your time because of all the breaks.

[@KairyuRider]

@orionswitness I know. Tons of bikes not sold in Japan by Japanese makers. But we can get every euro bike.

Man but you use to have a tracer09!!! After own a triumph street cup 900 i won't own another triumph in my live. Huge important issues due to the design and a terrible experience with the official dealership... Now a 2024 SV650 and I don't want anything that's not japanese

[@KairyuRider]

@@erosqing I can definitely understand preferring Japanese.

[@terryb8310]

Tractor fans would agree ....

[@2WheeledShenanigan-gs7cl]

Very well could be for me, the 850 is good but it's virtually the 900 but with less options/accessories, not a deal breaker but GPS isn't even available on that model and they crippled it just to force everyone to want the 900. I feel the new 800 is a bit overpriced, msrp is slightly higher than the 850 but they are giving you more stuff as standard features: slipper clutch, quick shifter, cruise, etc.... I'm not saying that it's not worth the extra cost but it seems to be the pattern these days.

[@KairyuRider]

@@2WheeledShenanigan-gs7cl not to mention it's a true sport tourer and more power

[@2WheeledShenanigan-gs7cl]

@@KairyuRider We have a Triumph dealer who brings in the demo bikes and they typically have the adventure models. I've been able to ride the Tiger 660, Trident, Street Triple, Speed Twin, T120, Scrambler 400, and the Speedmaster. The 900 has the t-plane crank and I've read a lot of people didn't like it, I don't see it mentioned for the 800 so I'm taking that it's a more traditional configuration like the 660, Trident, and the Daytona.

[@KairyuRider]

@2WheeledShenanigan-gs7cl I was thinking about that. If it's t-plane, I'm not getting it. There is no need to add more vibes to a triple.

[@UncleWally3]

Rather than “dirt riding” how about off tarmac riding? It captures more of what most of us do with adventure bikes.

[@KairyuRider]

@@UncleWally3 exactly

[@sattvicvelo3506]

I hardly ever take the scrambler off road on purpose - but some of the b roads around here are so bad that it might as well be off road. That’s what I really enjoy about the scrambler (it does what the adventure bikes do, but with less fairings) it handles well on smooth roads, but have no issues handling very poorly maintained b roads. On the Speed Triple I have to me a lot more cautious about taking random turns and go exploring.

is the rear suspension to the transalp that bad?for solo on road riding and and some easy dirt roads.85 kilos rider.

Why do they need to make them seat heights that tall? 33” seat height?

[@KairyuRider]

@STIjojoSTI more comfort on the road. They clame narrow front so easy to get feet down. My tracer has a narrow front and I'm fine getting my feet down.

[@SomewhereInside]

@@STIjojoSTI Because they have no concept of “duty of care “ in my opinion . Young shorter learner riders , falling off bikes at traffic lights as fork rebound causes them to tip over . If they could have a firm footing , it would avoid tip overs . Yes if you are a quick learner , you soon adjust and use your rear brake the last two metres or so before stopping , and you make sure your wheel is straight before and after stopping , but have heard of riders giving up on tall bikes after their first tip over . Idiot engineers , get out in the real world .

Yamaha calling the Tracer GT a sport tourer is a joke with no punchline. It's an adv bike in a sport tourer Scooby Doo mask. The Tiger 800 looks pretty dang good, especially in yellow. I never considered a Triumph until the last week.

[@KairyuRider]

@ninji5226 as a former tracer owner, it's extremely sporty, but with an adv seating position. Exactly like the tiger 660 sport and exactly like this bike.

This or the BMW F800 GS? The Triumph has more HP ( Tiger Sport 113 HP, BMW 87 ).. torque? BMW about 67 ft. lbs., and the Tiger Sport, 70 ft. lbs. What a great-looking bike! However, I think that the BMW is a complete adventure bike, whereas the Tiger is a touring bike.
