about 30 minutes long, but worth it if you get the chance. Great off-road stuff.

Tiger 800

Here it is on YouTube. I got to go to the world premier of it last night at a local movie theater. Really almost makes you want to buy a Tiger 800 XC.

My dealer did a lot of work on those bikes. Out of the two, only one of them actually survived the entire adventure (the orange and white one). About halfway through mountain/forest riding, one of the guys busted his leg and they had to get another guy to fill in for the rest of the filming.

Don't know how good Icon gear is, but the bikes are phenomenal in the right hands.

I gottsa to have one!! BEST MPG EVER!! Over 1500 miles and no gas fill up. However I have a couple questions. How did they get them turned around in the choppa? And where did the compressed air come from on the tire changes?

Great video.
Was actually looking at the Tiger before purchasing my TBA.
Those Tigers are definitely an excitement machines but their engine was a bit too busy for me after cutting my teeth on lazy British parallel twins.

Very cool. The more Tiger video I see, the more I want one. What a great advert for Triumph!

I always thought that dedicated motorcycle clothes were expensive.....but going to this extreme to sell m/c clothes is over the top...but I like it!

I'd have to lean toward the Tiger 800, not the XC, as I'm more about covering a lot of street miles in a hurry than I am off-road miles. But is the Tiger 800 going to do long 8+ hour days in the saddle at 80+ mph as well and as easy as my SM does? Or would the Tiger 1050 be the better choice?

I would really like to see a serious, unbiased comparison done between those two models...is there really no replacement for displacement?

Our Americas and Speedmasters have been doing a respectable job of proving that theory wrong...
