They're also on Triumphs website

I like them; but I am more than happy with my 2012 800 XC.

 

[DaveM]

Look like the Tiger is doing well in the market, very nice stuff

 

[hemibee]

I don't know, maybe if the blue one hadn't been the first photo. I'll have to wait to see one in person but for now they don't have anything nicer than the XC.

 

[CarlS]

The new XC has adjustable front shocks is the only advantage I see over mine.

 

[hemibee]

I do like the fly by wire system but not enough to give up Jessica.

 

[CarlS]

I have mixed feelings on the fly by wire system.

 

[hemibee]

I think the fly by wire system will be good. . . in the future. Right now it's still a little to new/soon for me to really want it before it's seen some real world testing. But even with that, I do like the idea of the system. Only time will tell if it is something I would really like to have or if it will just continue to be something that I will just wish they would perfect for real world use.

 

[CarlS]

I agree with with you fully. So far, I have not liked fly by wire on motorcycles.

Here is a link to Cycle World Magazine and an article and some really good pictures of the new Tigers.
Apologies if you've already seen the article.

2015 Triumph Tiger 800 XR & 800 XC ADV Motorcycle Review- First Look

 

[CarlS]

Thanks for the link. However, I an happy with my 2012; it is paid for.

Like that they've added cruise control.

 

[CarlS]

I do like cruse control. That is a good feature.

 

[birdman5]

I wish my t-bird had it. I've installed a throttle lock and that has helped a lot but cruise control would be so much better..

 

[CarlS]

I, too, installed a throttle lock. It works well and I use it regularly. But cruise control would be so much better.

Here's a very brief report about 1 of the new Tigers, I'll post more when they do.

[CarlS]

I can't connect; the link is not working for me.

 

[CarlS]

I finally got the link to work. I like this

New for 2015 multiple rider modes, including ABS and traction control options, are all adjusted from the left hand switch gear and by the mode button next to the display. In off-road mode the ABS to the rear wheel is cut and the traction control is dumbed down. As a safety feature if the bike is turned off, the original setting will be restored.

Hi guys. Sorry I've been so quiet- no problems but I've just been busy.

Riding impressions of the XCx: 2015 Triumph Tiger 800 review

Fly by wire throttle: I've ridden one bike with it, the Tiger 1200. It has the responses of a Honda Cub at small throttle openings at low revs, yet once the revs rise it has the throttle response of a sports bike. I found it instantly intuitive to use and really effective in the way it works and found it to be one of the most outstanding features of a very good bike.
