Seems logical; Ewan & Charlie plus European obsession launches big adventure bikes then the manufacturers realise they sell more road orientated ‘adventure’ bikes (or that’s where 99% are used) and sees the arrival of more tall-rounders than proper adventurers (SX1000, Tracers, Multistradas and GS etc) and now they’re getting more honest about it. If I wanted to go off-reading/green-laning I’d get a CRF300, Himi or CF Moto 450 MT …. maybe a T700/Tuareg but for real-world use, this Tiger is likely much better suited than a Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and a whole heap cheaper

It would join the likes of: Multi V4 Pikes Peak S1000XR 1390 Super Adv SE Suzuki sort of has an in-between power rating with the GSX-S1000GX, and so does the Versys 1100. Yamaha's Tracer 9GT+ while lower power is also less bulk compared to the big dogs, so it's quicker than the displacement would imply.

@@ruudbeverdam3941 I wouldn't mind it feeling small, I ride an MT09 currently so I'm sure it will feel bigger than that. My main concern is just if it has better wind protection than my MT-09, which I know it does and if it feels stable on the highway, my MT-09 is very stable. I'm not worried about power 100+ hp is plenty. I almost bought the tiger 900 but it felt too long for me, the tiger 660 felt more like a normal size bike when I sat on it. This one has the same chassis as the tiger 660 but it should be a bit bulkier due to the larger engine. Probably more stable too due to the weight. Im pretty confident it will do everything I need it to do.

Really like the whole bike except the dash. Cruise controland qs are a big bonus. The only question is will I like the triple as I’m used to singles and v2s 🤔

Handsome looking bike, well done Triumph designers! Adjustable rear shock for passenger... tick!... adjustable windscreen... tick! ... cruise control... tick! 6 axis IMU and cornering electrnics... tick! some great features, and amazing they can get 113 BHP from that engine. I think the dash will mix opinions... when Royal Enfield can offer google maps and a full TFT on the Himalayan 450 which costs £5k less... was there really nothing left in the budget to make the bike feel a tiny bit more premium? another small note, the pillion seat seems a little bit high.... unless you have a short pillion, they are going to get wind blasted.. just like on the old triumph sprint, but that did have an underslung exhaust...

Looks great....wonder if it has the t plane crank or the standard one in the 660?

Would love to see them add a 1200 variant to the line. Brembo's, full TFT, top spec suspension. That could be a sport touring king.

I am glad to finally see a manufacturer putting cruise control on some mid-level and entry level bikes. Everyone doesn't want to spend $20k just to get cruise. I hope the Japanese are paying attention. Good job Triumph. I have a 2023 Speed Twin 1200 and that bike should have electronic cruise but it doesn't.

Hmm. I was thinking the 900 GT Pro for me next year, but I like this, a lot! Had a test ride on the GT Pro and loved it. The seat height set at 820mm was perfect. Is this at 835mm ever so slightly too high? Cant wait for a test ride to find out!

Do you think this will be showcased at the NEC 2024?

Almost certain it will be on the stand there

About time Triumph did a decent cc Sport Tourer although the Tiger 🐅 Sport 660 is good bike & looks good but no Sport Mode.800 version got more bells & Whistles & Quick Shifter as standard,Sport mode,4 pot brakes & better suspension. Wonder if the 660 Tiger gana get all the upgrades like Trident is like Sport Mode & cornering ABS & Traction Control & Quick Shifter as standard which makes new Trident alot better. I reckon 800 Tiger Sport is going to be popular.

Tasty: this hits the sweet spot. Will wait for the 'RS' version though.

This is a sports tourer, so I really don't understand why they have apparently ditched the 120 degree crank of the 660/765 motor for the T plane crank of the 850/900 motor. I should have thought the smoothness of the former was better for reducing fatigue when touring..

What about stability ? With so small wheelbase is the 660 (and the 800) stable at top speed ?

Don’t care about the dash, I’ll take the way it is! Awesome bike for the price! 😊
@alteroarАй бұрын
good looking bike overall. it could be interesting option, if the dash was not this one from 90s but a modern screen

Pics of it with panniers but no mention of them? Are they extra or come as standard? Top box ?
