We certainly need less Adv bikes and more of the traditional sports tourer. Smaller wheels, lower seats and better wind protection will replace road princess adv bikes soon. We will go full circle
Yes but beak is lyf
I would love to have a Street Triple 765 with absolutly no change exept some fairing and a rear frame that Can have those nice stealth clipped luggage that are on the Tigger 660/800 !
@neodurden6793 I'd love a a shaft drive bike that doesn't cost more than a boomers first house
Fewer
Nah, ADV bikes > Sport Tourers
This is literally the viable update for my 2008 Tiger 1050 I have been waiting for. I see a new bike in my garage from mid 2025!!!
I wonder if Triumph will keep the Tiger 850 Sport around. It looks a little more 'adventure bike' styled but has less features.
Enough with that crappy dash, Triumph!
Yeah, that's Suzuki levels of crappy
What we need is this bike but with a BMW style dash a lightweight shaft drive and BMW could do an F 900 RS
No one needs a shaft drive. If the market really wanted one more bikes would have it. They don’t.
@@johnalbone3372 doesn't make much sense to have a traditional mounted inline engine and the shaft drive.
It means having two conic couples eating engine power.
I know Triumph has fitted their tiger 1200 with the shaft drive, but that's a bigger engine more capable of facing power absobtion by the shaft.
Indeed.
Very good horsepower, styling, quick shifter, 17 inch wheels, good suspension, wind deflectors, and cruise control are great features.
It's certainly a bike I would consider owning
Hooray for centre stands! Can we hope for proper mudguards next? Better looking bike than the Tracer 9, in my opinion.
Decent bike. The dash alone guarantees I'd never get it. What year are we in? 🤣
Do you ride down the rode looking at your screen? I don't understand the obsession. Please explain.
Totally agree that Triumph has lost the ability to make nice dashes! It's so ugly. I'm not sure if it will stop me from buying one but I'll think how shite it looks every time I look down
@@spartanx169x For the price it should be a full colour TFT not this budget dash. Triumph need to be careful using this dash on their more expensive bikes. The competition uses full colour TFT's. Triumph have been heavily criticised over using this budget dash on the new Speed Twin when it should have kept the classic twin analogue dials. Big mistake.
Why would you need a dash with more information than this one? It has all the info anyone needs. If it helps keep the bike price low, I would keep this dash forever, it would definitely not stop me from buying this bike.
We are in the year where a display is NOT A DASH. Is your Apple Watch a "dash" on your wrist?
And if you're obsessed with screens, I'm sorry, you don't care about a motorcycle riding experience. Most of your ride will be spent looking down the road, to the ditches, to the sky, at traffic.
So... we've come full circle, sports touring bikes are about to make a comeback.
Thank god, it's about time. I like my bikes to be versatile.
About to? They've been making a comeback for years.
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
I think susuki brung it back with there gt bike...something sporty with comfortable ergo.
@@jasoncollier5561 Not to mention Kawasaki with their 1000SX. I wonder how those bikes are faring in the market?
Hopefully, a Tiger Sport 1200 will be next, but with a proper TFT display!!
Take my money!
I hope they do an RS version with Ohlins, Brembos and the Tiger 900 7" dash.
Yes !! they need a RS version with fully adjustable suspension and a proper screen.
Take my money😁
you read my mind
Agreed. This one has a few shortcomings. Pretty good idea but not quite there. I'd still go the 900 sport (for the higher spec) except I don't like the 150 rear tyre... even on the 1200.
I'd trade in my yellow street triple happily!!!
Just what the doctor ordered, although for now I'm happy with my 660 which I bought earlier this year, which I find hard to fault. Sounds like Triumph has addressed the throttle response and cruise control criticisms. Thanks.
Looks fantastic in yellow and its awesome to see Triumph get into the proper sport tourer game instead of the adventure bike in sport tourer clothes, ala the Tracer GT.
I love Yamaha and have owned several over the years, but this size, spec and style is hitting a sweet spot for me, love it!!
I've been drooling on the new stelvio for a few months now, and just like that, a new drool-generator.... that yellow one is gorgeous!
Wasnt expecting this. Its genuinely a fantastic looking bike.
Respect to triumph for expanding their range and not suffocating new models with the A2 licence friendly 94 hp or lower spec.
They all got burned making 94hp bikes for the A2 license. A2 people didn't buy them and everyone else avoided them because only 94hp. Africa twin, tiger 900, ktm 1090, bmw f850.
I prefer this modernized utilitarian dash than their 5fps dashes from other tiger line up.
I nearly bought a 660 when it came out but it didn't feel that fast but this should address that and it looks great. Like others not loving the dash. I personally think they should just use that dash on the 660 range of bikes. Anything bigger should get a nice TFT and not the horrible one fitted to the street triple RS either!
This is a serious contender for my next bike. I love naked sports bikes but I find myself taking longer trips with more highway time. The comfort, wind protection are welcome but I didn’t want an adv bike.
Would love to see a 1200 version of this kind of bike, always liked the 1050 Sport.
I owned a 900 tiger, and was looking at the 660, but had concerns. I think I will give this a solid look.
I hope Triumph will bring also a 1200ccm Version with the current Speed Triple engine.
That's a nice looking bike...way nicer looking that the Tracer, IMO. Nice to see another sport touring (NOT Adv) option out there.
The fact that Triumph came out with a Tiger 850 wrongly named "Sport", with only 85HP + cheap suspension BUT Brembo Stylema brake calipers, only to come up later with a real Tiger Sport version with 115HP BUT no more Brembo Stylema brake caliper is beyond my understanding...
660, now the 800. Capacity seems to be rising. Is there going to be a new tiger sport 1200 to follow. It's about time the old tiger sport 1050 has a revamp.
We need a “955” version😊
I made the logical connection. They have the 1160cc Speed Triple engine. It would be great in a Sport Adv, emphasis on midrange torque. 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.
Great news, as a current owner of the tiger sport 660 i was looking to upgrade to another bike and Triumph have delivered just in time for the new year and new registration 25 plates.
Congrstulations Triumph you must habe read my mind. 😊
I love that Triumph didn't jump on the TFT bandwagon on this one. I can't stand those screens on anything. Manufactureres like them because they're incredibly cheap to produce. Looks like a fun, lightweight sport tourer without a bunch of gimmicks. Hopefully it won't have a buffeting or wind noise problem like so many STs tend to have.
It has a TFT component, it is just very small. Like a small bandwagon.
Speaking as a Tracer owner, that dash is gopping.
I think this is the bike that I have been waiting for. I had a 1050 sport and it was one of the best bikes that i have ever had. I really like the yellow.
I loved that fade in silhouette comparison you did. Never seen that before and it is an excellent idea
I think its a great idea What with folks who had the old 1050 sports or the old 800 tigers who did not like the T plane engine so much . The 660 tiger is such a usable bike and this the same with a bit more
New engine is probably made so they can announce a Daytona 800 to compete with the r9 and 990 rc
It’s lower powered than the 765 though?
@@gpzfan5272 765 is probably at the end of its life or close
He just said the new 800cc engine is made so that it can provide more low end grunt than the 765, so this take doesn't make sense
@@gpzfan5272they could provide a higher powered version of it quite easily
@@dileep7513 more displacement surely means more torque, but with some fine tuning for top end power this engine can well become a "screamer".
These small sport tourers don't have enough leg room for me. Went to the triumph demo days and rode the tiger 660. Fun bike to zip around on but not sure about logging high speed highways miles. The Tiger 1200 was excellent. The Tiger 900 I was disappointed because it didn't feel like an upgrade from my KTM adventure 790. The funnest bike I rode was the scrambler 1200 XE. Great engine! Lot of low down torque but no wind protection for highways.
Just fucking bring back proper Sport Tourers like the Sprint.
EDIT: This is why i detest "Adventure" bikes. They are too heavy and pack too much power(except for Africa Twin) to do what they are supposed to do. Not that it matters anyway cos the VAST majority of adv bikes wont ever see any off-roading. Adv bikes were the death of real sports tourers like the VFR, Sprint, Blackbird, ST4 and so forth. Fucking bring back sports tourers.
Thinking the same
This is a sport tourer though??? High up for good vision, 17" wheels, adjustable windscreen, good ergos. The only thing that puts me off a little is the weight, but it's still like 80 lbs lighter than the Sprint fully fueled. Nothing about this bike is offroad focused
@@wlt3585 No, not really. This much like the BMW XR, and Versys are "Sport Adventure Tourers" and/Crossovers.
Too heavy for anything but a hard packed fire road. Then they advertise with some 20 something rider blasting around on it with empty side panniers and under inflated tires...
At least Kawasaki has the1000SX and Suzuki has the GSX-S1000GT, those are proper sport touring bikes. I wasn't ever aware the sprint existed until reading your comment. It's a great looking bike.
Triumph is really on the role lately, this looks just awesome can't wait to test it❤❤❤
I will definitely try it but remembering my smile when riding a Tracer9 and discovering the CP3 for the 1st time, I already know the Triumph will have a hard time competing with it
I was intending to jump to a 900 next year after three years on my TS 660; looks like I have a very interesting option. It also has everything everyone wanted in the 660 ie. cruise control, centre stand, front adjustable shocks and sport mode.
Been on my radar since my dealer talked about it a couple of weeks ago. The specs look coherent and I'm sure it'll be fun to ride.
I'll test one as soon as they receive it in Paris.
Could easily be my next bike.
Nice overall package. Will be nice to see in the flesh. The Yamaha wins on long term cost. The Triumph on feel...in my view.
Uff that dash...my Street Cup has twin clocks
I hope Triumph bring out a RS version. As it is It needs Brembos & a decent TFT screen. Triumph may be targeting a price sensitive market sector but they risk losing their reputation for premium bikes.
Agree 100%
I have been waiting for this bike forever! I looked into the Tiger Sport 660, since it is small enough to commute, but I feel like I would need a bit more power for the highways in California. It also doesn't have the option for cruise control. So I kept hoping that Triumph would make a Tiger Sport 765, but they came up with this which is even better! I am definitelly going to look into this when it gets to the dealers.
I owned the Tiger Sport 660 for almost a year. This is a very decent update. The 660 was fun to ride (Hyperpro rear suspension), very agile, good engine (sound) and perfect quickshifter. Was glad riding my 660 to home after a test ride on the R1300GS. Unfortunately a bit too small for me for daily commute so switched to a Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Hope the 800 is a bit bigger
@@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.
Good job. I would have liked a straight big bore 765 because that engine is boss to begin with. Plus a GT version that won't require a six month wait after purchase just to get your panniers. And you just know as soon as you've bought one, they'll announce the 800 RS with Ohlins and 765 dash, right? Just sayin'!
Another great video Bob, however I still consider this as a greater sibling of the 660 Sport...What I do miss is a look back and quick comparo with the outgoing Triumph 850.
I remember the days when the main stand came as standard, as well as a front mudguard, that strangely did just that, guarded against road crap going all over your engine, rather than the useless effort that they seem to put on all bikes these days, and not having to pay extra for a different colour. However, that moan aside, that is gorgeous looking bike it has to be said, especially in yellow. I'd go for that over the Yamaha.
We took the choice of 4 different colours and no difference in price for granted.
@@chrishart8548 £100 extra for the Blue, Yellow, or the Black one, as per the Triumph website. Begs the question, WHY ??
@@chrishart8548Yes, I think you're dead right there, now it's £100 more if you want the Yellow, Black or Blue, as per the Triumph website. Begs the question. WHY ??
Very pretty looking bike. Seems like a perfect road focused all round option from Triumph. Would love to own one.
That looks amazing, especially in yellow
Cruise control on the 800 is HUGE
This is a great looking bike and sounds like the sizing and engine hit the sweet spot. I will definitely will be having a closer look when in dealers. On the dashboard debate which the comments section of every review on this have, well I don't mind it😊
Premium fit
Premium feel
Premium finish
POS dash again
i think i'm a minority but if they have to use that dash to cut cost, i don't mind it.
@@Kenicavus
problem is they keep the keep the difference and don’t pass it on to the customer
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!
Nice, minus the CALCULATOR Display in 2024/2025
Handsome looking bike, well done Triumph designers! Adjustable rear shock for passenger... tick!... adjustable windscreen... tick! ... cruise control... tick! 6 axis IMU and cornering electrnics... tick! some great features, and amazing they can get 113 BHP from that engine. I think the dash will mix opinions... when Royal Enfield can offer google maps and a full TFT on the Himalayan 450 which costs £5k less... was there really nothing left in the budget to make the bike feel a tiny bit more premium? another small note, the pillion seat seems a little bit high.... unless you have a short pillion, they are going to get wind blasted.. just like on the old triumph sprint, but that did have an underslung exhaust...
Hmm. I was thinking the 900 GT Pro for me next year, but I like this, a lot! Had a test ride on the GT Pro and loved it. The seat height set at 820mm was perfect. Is this at 835mm ever so slightly too high? Cant wait for a test ride to find out!
Reinventing the wheel when I had a 1050 Tiger. It was a mistake dropping it out the range instead of refreshing it
Good to know I have more options on this power range again
A fantastic looking bike! An alternative to the boring looks of the adv market. I'll definitely be giving that a try. Love the sapphire black colour scheme too, pays homage to the latter 1050's.
It's certainly something I like the look of. I was disappointed that kawasaki are still doing the 650 versys and then brought out an 1100cc one. I have the 650 versys and it's great but not brilliant for 2 up touring. If they had done an 800, then brilliant. Hats off to triumph, if it's good I will make the switch, as this bike I recon will be fantastic and the one to watch next year for middle weight sales. It seems to offer a lot for a good price.
Beautiful design. A worthy looking successor to the 1050 Sport.
Fantastic package 🔥
I think this is a Master stroke from Triumph
That dash sucks big time
Agreed. I don't understand the step back from a full digital dash but to each their own. It's one of those things you see the first couple of times you saddle up but ignore 99% of the time.
@@BrianSmithFC no you don't... you have to stare it every "now and then"... and be hit by a sad thing... that lower screen has less quality that the ones in most of existing action cams.
@@BrianSmithFC It's not hard to understand. Money. You want an affordable bike, cuts must be made. The dash is where they made the cut. It's fine, how often do you look at it anyway while you are riding?
@@oni-one574 the dash is the only bit of the bike you can see when riding … if it’s el-cheapo, that directly affects perceived quality and subsequent enjoyment of the riding experience.
@@BrianSmithFC to make a distance with tiger 900. As we see Tiger 800 has better engine and Triumph needs to make it attractive for customers
fantastic, a sporty roadster with good protections. I am a new driver, and that's exactly that kind of bike that will be my next one. Still 5 months to wait... just missing automatic clutch here though lol soon will be available on tracer 9 very soon
I just bought a Tracer 9GT, so I'm good for now. Had the Triumph been available I probably would have gone for it.
I think that I'll be sticking with my Tiger 850 Sport for a while longer, my missus will thank me, looking at that pillion seat!
Really like the whole bike except the dash. Cruise controland qs are a big bonus. The only question is will I like the triple as I’m used to singles and v2s 🤔
this is exactly what i was looking forward to and they did it better than i expected. i thought they would upgrade the 660 but they did it even better and came out with a redesigned 800. going to cross shop thus with the tracer 9 gt +
When I first saw this video I thought, a slightly pumped up 660... Why??? Then when you rattled through the figures & specs etc... I must admit I sat up & thought, right ok yep you got my attention. What a shame this area ain't got Triumph dealer now completely's gone bump, actually looks like a well equipped bike with decent performance. Nice 👍
Where's my trident 800, Triumph? I really like this in between tiger size without going up to the 900. Especially since the tiger 900 has a tall seat for short riders. But a trident with more power would be a big hit
I'm kinda wondering if they'll introduce it every other year or so like they did with the Trident660/TS660/Daytona660 over the course of a few years?
If sport touring bikes are making a comeback I want a Bandit refresh 😂
800 nice all good from east Kentucky USA
Nice job Triumph it's almost the FZ1 from 2006, you just need to up the engine and you'll have a rival to the market leading Ninja & Suzuki as a touring machine. Yellow is great, blue is ok - but the black & grey 🥱 No red then, a diablo red would help sell a few more👍🏻
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
It’s got more power than my 900😩
Haha time to change RM
Yeah but this would be next to useless on all those lovely trails around Southern Portugal.
@@ewganhoff I am trying to console myself with this
...And a worse dash... where you would be looking and cringing everytime.
@10,750RPM though that's mental. Probably got much less power everywhere else peak torque is @ 8500rpm. I prefer my peak torque around 5,250rpm
Looks nice, more like a road bike than an adv bike. I had a Tracer 9 gt and found the bike to get really unstable in cross winds and the wind blast from whatever screen I fitted was awful. If it's more sports tourer than sports tourer on stilts that'll be good 👍
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.
Aw man, was hoping it was going to be a Trident 800. Maybe in the future hopefully!
Omg! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I want! It looks great! And the specs!!!
This might be the bike I’d hoped Triumph would make. At 60 with health problems my Tiger 1200 GT Pro is a bit heavy for me.
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.
Tasty: this hits the sweet spot. Will wait for the 'RS' version though.
Looks great but the passenger seat still looks silly for any 2up for more than an hour, maybe it's the video angle. I hope there will be a low seat option that go to 800 and I might consider it.
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.
The Tracer 9 GT had a new single screen dash which looks pretty clean.
It’s a wonder Triumph didn’t put this more powerful engine in the new Daytona - that extra power and sportiness would have made for a more compelling bike worthy of the name.
They have the 765 engine to make a real Daytona. That bike is made for the A2 market.
They probably will in 2026......after they've made a few buckets of money off the 660.
WOW! A British Tracer 9.....err 8. I have a 2022 Tracer so I am not tempted. Many of us were hoping for an 800 Daytona...they missed getting me. BTW Yamaha just gives you all the options on the 9gt rather than nickle and diming. Tracer has electronic suspension too. I do like larger rotor. BTW Tracers dont sell well in the US as near as I can tell but they must in Europe if Triumph is going after the same customers? Maybe this new 800 will fare better than the T9gt in the US? One complaint on the T9 here has been the price with people looking at it as a 50% higher priced MT-09....which of course it has quite a lot of extra features not found on the MT09 or the XSR900....my guess is Triumph is unwittingly advertising the Tracer 9?
The Yamaha is bigger, heavier and more expensive. A good bike, no doubt, but not quite the same thing.
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.
I had a conversation at the NEC on the triumph stand and told the triumph guy that the then new 660 was to small and he told me there was a bigger capacity one in the pipeline nothing appeared so I assumed he was lying but now seeing this new 800 maybe he wasn't do think that dash want's something better like the tiger 900 dash.
I am glad to finally see a manufacturer putting cruise control on some mid-level and entry level bikes. Everyone doesn't want to spend $20k just to get cruise. I hope the Japanese are paying attention. Good job Triumph. I have a 2023 Speed Twin 1200 and that bike should have electronic cruise but it doesn't.
Sorry to be the odd man out but i like the dash 😮
I guess the general perception is that it looks a little old-fashioned compared to a full TFT, but at least the info looks fairly clear & logical (much better IMO than the daft rev counter graphics on the 2020-on Street Triple RS), and it certainly wouldn’t dissuade me from buying this bike.
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.
When they teased on the website about 800 - I was like, Tiger800 is coming back :)
My Tiger 800 was the worst purchase I ever made.
Really nicely done, and an attractive option - so far. Given, though, I've owned a Speed Triple and a couple of Yammies, the ownership experience was far less of a pain with the Yammies (including a current Super Tenere ES). When it comes to reliability and cost of ownership - very real considerations - unless the Sport 800 is WAY better than a 9 (or my ST), I'll pass. Because they are usually rewarding "rides", I'm always hoping the Europeans get a better handle on reliability, but it just never seems to happen. I'd much rather be riding then waiting for another bill from the shop.
Pics of it with panniers but no mention of them? Are they extra or come as standard? Top box ?
Styling,especially in the yellow is very appealing. Could you fit a top box which I prefer over panniers . Where I live in Australia 🇦🇺, it’s legal to trickle through traffic that’s stopped at the lights. I’ve used BMW panniers which were very good.
I want a direct comparison of the Tracer 9 and this one. I was considering the Tracer but a couple more affordable bikes came out and got announced so I’m having second thoughts. If you do a comparison would really help.
Excellent. Yes parts bin raid. But more than a throttled back existing Tiger. That engine - a pure roadster?
Then again, this seems to do the job. And for a crossover-of-the-2wheeler-world, it does look good esp from the front. Tracer9 competitor - yes, but I'm thinking more of a much better looking alternative to an nt1100. Anyway, more to look at at MC live than I had expected.
Much better looking than the Yamaha. Looks great.
But…… Would you trade your (sweet sweet beauty of a motorcycle) 2011 Sprint GT 1050 for it…..?
If it has a T-plane engine it will sound much better than the tracer for sure!!! Sweet bike!
No T-plane engine thank goodness. Much smoother engine.
Nice bike do-it-all bike and I am sure that engine is a peach. I see the dash has an air temperature sensor, does the 660 also have it or is this a new thing? I am ok with the same dash on my Street R, I just wish it had the air temperature as well. C'mon Triumph!
Assuming that it's replacing the 850Sport - would it make sense to pull out the card and get one of the last pieces of 850Sport, if at all, if they are going out at a discounted price? the 19-17 wheels might make a difference compared to 17-17? What are your thoughts on that?
Does this model replace Tiger Sport 850 for 2025MY?
