Tiger 800 XC!

[AtticaTiger]

I took the dealer demo road version out on my usual 20 mile test loop the other day. FANTASTIC bike-they nailed it. My overwhelming feeling was that this bike is much more kin to my Street tripple than my 1050 tiger. I'm astounded that some are saying there is not enough motor. That new 800 is just fine by me!

I rode the demo bike today at Buck's ! My sentiments exactly. The bike is very nimble and the motor is just right. The XC has got to be awesome...the street version is GGGRRRRRRRREAT!

I'm not sure how my 1050 would take to having a little brother around? I'll bet it's a well done bike as Triumphs tend to be

This thread explains why I didn't see the weeStrom at bike night the other day...

Well, also because I was on Ocracoke Island in North Carolina at the time...

I rode the new 800 Tiger, and it really rips. We are thinking on trading both of our V-Stroms in next year for 2 Tigers!

Yeah....now that is a solid plan Tito...I'd do that in a heartbeat if I had something to trade....if I even had anymore room to stuff something into

That is a very good description; I rode the 800XC at Locomotion in Suffern on Triumph Truck weekend May 22 and it was a real treat. Handled a corkscrew off ramp at 55mph where posted 25mph, fast and responsive through turns, not too big up front to toss around a little.

It would be a great VT all year machine.

Mrs. Lucky started in with that phraseology after bike #2...I'm now contemplating #6 and for some strange reason she is still here and baking cookies...in fact we just got back from the store picking up the necessaries for chocolate chip...oatmeal raisin and maybe I'll bring something else...bottom line Matt..."idle threat"

[matts1050]

Sugar cookie or Peanut butter...but I love Oatmeal raisin

[jefff1]

Peanut butter cookies just got approved for baking by Mrs. L...does she know you Matt? Heck she wouldn't have done it for me

Sorry, Jeff is busted. I spoke with Mrs. Lucky personally at Buck's a few months ago. She was very clear on the law in their household. The only way a new bike was coming into that house was if a current bike was leaving.
