Triumph Tiger 800 (2011- onwards)

Triumph's new Tiger 800 enters a competitive market. Ben Cope gives his first opinion. I'VE JUST FINISHED a day riding Triumph's new Tiger 800. We ride the Tiger 800XC tomorrow.

Why buy old technology at inflated prices. My Triumph fully loaded came in a bit less than a 3year old BMW R 1200 GS with just over 20,000 miles on it. Continue reading...

Had my Tiger 800 two months now and still really impressed with it. Excellent commuter bike and good fun on a sunday ride.

Seems to be built and finished very nicely but I guess time will tell.

Hi, I have a Tiger 800 and find the low gel seat still too high, it doesn't make much difference to the original as your legs just hit the frame being a wide bike.

I am thinking of buying a lowering kit as 1'' more would make all the difference, i am 5'8"

Can anyone recommend a quality system, i have seen lust links they seem fine, has anyone had theirs lowered?

Probably a bit bit late to awnser the lowering kit as you may well of done it, but I have the lowering kit fitted which has made all the differance as Im 5ft 8" also.

Hopefully your still around Graham? I ve just bought a Tiger 800 and Im 5'8" as well and yes Im not feeling too confident on it especially as its my first bike. I have the lowered seat and now want to get the bike lowered. Im not wanting to do it myself. Any tips on where to get it done - I live just north of M25 near St Albans. Also any info on warranty and insurance issues. Thank for any advice.

How are you getting on?

Would you recommend the 800 to another beginner for a first bike?
