Something in between Bonneville and Street Triple. I.E. A naked bike with up to date mechanicals but slightly retro styling. Think 900 Thunderbird Sport updated but way lighter and more powerful. They could bring back the Trident name for it. How about it Triumph? This engine would be perfect for my “dream Triumph”. Something in between Bonneville and Street Triple. I.E.

I can understand wishing the Tiger 800 would compete with the 650 on price, but it's in a completely different league.

They have to go after the 650 V-Strom as well. My thoughts are $10,999 Canadian Cheers TC Terp

(All numbers rounded to the nearest 5.) I took the price of a Tiger 1050 in the UK (8800 pds)and converted it into dollars ($14150). The actual price of a Tiger 1050 in the US is $12000. The UK price of the 800 is 7150 pds, which equates to US $11475. Assuming that the percentage price difference between US and UK models is the same as for the 800 and 1050, and a bit of basic algebra you get @ $9730. X 12000 ----- = ------ 11475 14150 Given that the main competition (BMW F800GS) is priced at $11,455, I bet the Tiger 800 MSRP will be US $9999.

However, like many others posting here, this 800XC has grabbed my attention. Right price, right accessories, and very importantly the right fuel capacity and this might be the one.
