I'm sorry but it doesn't matter what continent you ride on, a centre stand is an absolute must to have on a bike that has the potential to tour, as this bike clearly does. Also how about putting decent mudguards on this bike front and back. This is a cracking bike, I love it, but having no centre stand on it, well I just don't understand the logic.

You can buy a plastic throttle lock for $20 bucks that works fine. Centerstands suck as they always end up dragging and they don't give like footpegs.

I must be in the minority here but I can't say that I've ever felt the need for cruise control on a motorcycle. As for a centre stand, that's definitely useful for cleaning the bike, parking in the garage, lubing the chain and loading panniers. However I appreciate that packaging EU5 compliant after treatment trumps the need for a centre stand so an essential compromise maybe. My general observation on most new motorcycles is that mudguards seem to be considered fashion items by the designers so the first 'accessories' to consider fitting by someone who intends riding in UK conditions are rear huggers and front mudguard extenders. I hope that these two items are on the list of 40 accessories as it's nice to get a bike sorted from day 1 with OEM parts that are designed to fit and have been properly tested on that bike. Overall I'd say it should be a great bike with a sensible level of performance for touring/commuting and general riding fun. Good work Triumph, looking forward to seeing one in the flesh and maybe riding one in the not too distant future👍👍.

Nice bikes that will surely fit well in the marketplace. However, it doesn't look like the rider can move around a lot on the seat. One thing though; I've personally never been keen on top-boxes (I think they look daft) and because of the placement behind the rear axle they can not hold much weight because it ruins the steering of the bike, just about a helmet or two. When will manufacturers make a top-box support frame that can fold/glide in and also sit on top of the pillion seat and so be a much more practical carrier box that can take heavier loads?

I owned a Tiger 1050 in the past and now own a Versys 650 so this has my interest. My dream bike would have been the street triples engine and higher spec brakes and suspension and I would pay the price tag for that. I just don’t need a liter sized engine, but I don’t want the budget brakes and suspension of the lower cc options. Anyway I’m curious how this bike works out. For me the tanks a bit too small in comparison to the magnificent range the Versys 650 gets on 87 octane, a solid 250 miles and if you ran it to empty about 275. The Tiger was more like 180 miles and to dry about 200-215. I doubt this will go 230 miles on 17 liters, maybe to totally dry but nobody rides a bike like that so subtract .5 gallons of range. Because I do a lot of long range touring on the Versys (which is also an amazing twisty backroads bike, short wheelbase and near supersport geometry) this bike is DOA for me due to fuel range alone. It might have a bit more character in the triple but the parallel twin on the Versys is great in its own way and fun to ring it’s neck in twisty’s while being totally calm and quiet on long rides which is less fatigue. And I owned the 1050 triple so I know how good they can sound and be. But an effective 4 gallon tank on this bike is a downer. I highly doubt it will match the V650’s twin in MPG. I’d guess upper 40’s if taking it easy. So probably 180-190 miles real world range.

All this talk about 'class leading' when talking about the TFT and optional extras is pure sales talk which is only relevant for a very short time but even if it's never superseded it makes no difference to the experience of riding the bike !

So their answer regarding cruise control was "We left it out because it's not useful to everyone globally", lol that's the biggest load that I've heard in days.

Is it a proper 120 degree crank or an annoying T plane one?

A centre stand should be standard on any touring style bike. Even with a HD chain and scotoiler I have to adjust the chain once in a week's touring holiday of 2000 plus miles.

Great looking bike and seems to offer the power and comfort I’m looking for. Test ride next next thing to . Personally not bothered a jot about cruise control, always put automatic chain oilers on my bikes so centre stand not a deal breaker either.

So, can we expect a bigger brother Tiger Sport 1200 on the way then instead of a new Sprint ST/GT 1200!?..hmm.. Time will tell!

Ha, who knows. Triumph are pushing a lot of new models with the Euro 5 friendly engines. Tiger Sport 1200 would be mega!

Interesting bike. Like many others have said, it needs centre stand, heated grips and cruise control as standard to be a more attractive proposition to riders in the UK.

I don’t plan to change my Tiger Sport 1050, but I’ll be taking this one out for a test ride. The elevated angle of the pillion seat looks slightly incongruous (a flatter profile would be more in keeping - my subjective view), but at least Triumph has avoided fitting one of those hideous, low-slung indicator-cum-registration plate brackets behind the rear tyre. More choice of colours though, please, Triumph. Constantly offering black, white, red and blue across your range is not adventurous.

I like the look of it, maybe get a test ride next year and add it add it to the street triple in the garage. Don't tell the Kerry!

Looks great but Needs a centre stand, like to see more bikes with centre stands. So much easier than paddock or ABBA stands
@bikingwithgrantygrant7792 жыл бұрын
Not really bothered by tft display as the tiger 900 have had issues. I personally would be happier with centre stand, heated grips and better mudguard protection and I think they are really essential for this class of bike. Still an awesome bike I am sure and would love to compare to the versys 650 or see a comparison video against its rivals.

That dash looks so cheap $9450 USD with no QS, Bluetooth, and Cruise Control, where plenty of new F900XR cost around $11k USD, with all the features included with a better TFT screen and better hardware(seriously look at the brake caliper on Triumph, ridiculous)... I used to think BMW is overpriced and now here comes the new Triumph

Good looking bike. However looking at that seat, it doesn't seem comfortable enough for touring. We'll have to wait and see.
@bennettsbikesocial2 жыл бұрын
It's narrow and well-supported at the back, and while they call it a 'comfort seat' we'll be on the press launch so can let you know then. Stand by. Cheers, Michael

All the triples minus the crazy crank 900 and 1200 ......were butter smooth but golly the 800's were droning on at high rpm on the highway. Wound tight. It's always something I guess.
