How new Triumph Tiger 800 matches up to BMW F800GS

This week’s MCN (out now) exclusively reveals more details of Triumph’s new adventure bike, the Tiger 800.
But how does it match up to its obvious rival, BMW’s F800GS?
Armed with a brawnier version of the already muscular 675 motor means the new Tiger is off to a headstart, with Triumph testers remarking on ‘startling’ torque from the longer-stroke 800 motor.
We also expect Triumph to tackle one of the F800’s weaknesses head-on: the Tiger 800 will have a tank at least two litres bigger (18l+).
Here are the specifications:
BMW F800GS Triumph Tiger 800
Power 85bhp 100bhp
Torque 60ftlb 65ftlb
Weight 185kg 185kg
Tank 16 litres 18+ litres

Is this being made in Thailand or are the triples still made in the UK? not that it matters much as it will still be sold at a ridiculously high price in Thailand
Hi Slash,
The Triumph Guys from the Factory here Told Me that All Triumph Engines are Made in England. Assembly done in Thailand. All Research and Development is also done in the UK.
It will be very interesting to see the Bike in the Flesh and the Price!!! Probably here in Thailand December I am told?

Interesting snippet contained within a piece on forthcoming Trophy..
A larger engined Tiger to compete with the 1200GS...
I wonder if it will really see the light of day?

Definately, according to my local dealer. At the launch night of the new Speed Triple there was talk of a new shaft drive 1200cc joining the Tiger 800 to match the BMW range model for model.Originally Posted by Rhodie

New triumph models

Britbike Co Ltd _ the authorised dealer of Triumph motorcycles under the management of Dom Hetrakul, Asawin Malumpuch and Aut Asawanun _ has launched two new models. Speed Triple 1050 and Tiger 800 were unveiled at a venue near the showroom on Royal City Avenue, Bangkok on Wednesday .
"After four years of establishing Triumph motorcycles in the Thai market, we have been slowly but maturely increasing our business," Dom said. "Now we have 294 Triumph motorcycles sold nationwide.
He added: "We don't want to only focus on sales growth, but we want to improve our service quality and set it to the same standard as in the UK."
The two models have proven very popular among other Triumph productions. The Speed Triple was first made 14 years ago and is still rated as one of the best motorcycles by users in Europe. The 2011 version has new key design features including a headlight which is more modern plus improvements to the chassis and suspension, which helpd bring down the weight to 214kg _ down 3 kg from the previous model. The famous 3-cylinder engine remains at 1050cc but the new design has added more power to this handsome bike.
The Tiger 800 is the most powerful in its class. A 3-cylinder engine on 800cc makes this bike fun to ride on- and off-road with smooth handling _ which is important when travelling off the road. A solid steel chassis make this bike so strong that it suits the riding style when it comes to adventures. The Tiger 800 has a built-in electrical generator to support all kinds of electronic gadget such as GPS systems. Seat height can be adjusted to three levels from 83cm down to 81 and even 79cm for riders who are not too tall.

A truly happy rider is one who can enjoy the scenery along a detour.
Love the bikes but just hate what they have done to the speed and street triples with the headlights..
Sure so they needed to 'modernize' them a bit.. But damn they are fugly, stick way too far forward and just look like a badly thought out streetfighter home done bodge to me.
Attended the Triumph New Model Release party with some of the other hooligans night before last and it was nicely done and the new Tiger 800 is an awesome looking bike, but with a price tag of 710k Baht for the base version and 740k Baht for the XC version I think I'll stick with my cheap as chips Versys for the time being
Ride On!

Looks quite Small in the Picture Tony! How did it feel in comparison to the Versys in Size? One Advantage of Living in Bangkok I suppose is You get to go to all the Launch Parties!!!

It's a great looking bike- compact and tough. It was on it's center stand, so I'm not quite sure how the seat height compares to that of the Versys but I think I read somewhere that it's not as tall as the Versys. The 800cc triple engine should be fantastic and Triumph seems quite confident their new Tiger 800 will run circles around the heavier BMW F800GS.
I believe West already ordered one so hopefully we'll get his feedback on the new bike soon!
Happy Trails!
