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.

Hi motobob. Love your reviews. AJ from Australia here. Keen on your advice. I have a full licence but have not ridden for many years and mainly dirt bikes when I was younger. Im now 50 and keen to get a road bike. Problem is I am 6'4" (195cm) and I have 38" inseam. So basically I have long legs and undertaker (long) arms. Ive sat on a few bikes like the MT07, XSR 700 and a few other similar bikes but i'm way to big and my legs are folded up like a giraffe humping a chihuahua. Im leaning towards this new Triumph tiger sport 800 but concerned about having too much power. Should I go for a lesser powered 660 or just grow into the 800?

The Tracer doesn’t have the spilt screen any longer. They went with New High Luminosity TFT Display. Nice 7inch screen as well.

Just for the GT+ though right? The regular and the GT still have the divers goggles.

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.

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..

I was torn between the 2024 Daytona and the Tiger Sport 660. However, the latter seemed a bit underpowered, so this could definitely be the ticket for 2025!

I have an older Tracer gt, but I would love to try this out. Looks fun, and again Triumph is constantly moving forward with their models, either with tech upgrades, color choices, etc. Cool. 👍🤪🏳️🌈

T-Plane crank? Or 120deg spaced? Since it wasn’t mentioned I assume it’s the latter.

I believe it's the latter. Increased of capacity is due to the slightly longer stroke with same bore as the STRS 765.

Don’t care about the dash, I’ll take it the way it is! Awesome bike for the price! 😊

It looks 👌 imo. I'm 43 so the dash is fine. I actually prefer the simplicity. I don't need a quickshifter on a sports-tourer either. But it's a Lil expensive I'd never buy a brand new one. Last sports tourer I bought was a 07 Bandit 1250 and I ripped everything off it and built a streetfighter. And there's nothing out that I'd trade my 2014 S1KRR for. Sorry Triumph. But I think they're ahead of the Japanese right now. Imo

Like the tracer split screen.

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.

Does this model replace Tiger Sport 850 for 2025MY?

Triumph makes the best looking bikes in this segment i think, and the Tiger 660 is definitely the best buy in it's class. I do feel like this 800 model falls short of the Tracer 9. For the same price the Tracer 9 initially seems like the better bike. The Tiger 800 does look better though in my opinion.
