Triumph Tiger 800: from $14,390
The all-new adventure bike will sell at an extremely competitive price, and we've also got retails on a gaggle of other new models tooTriumph’s all-new adventure bike, the Tiger 800 triple, will retail from $14,390 when it goes on sale in March next year.
That’s what it will cost for the more road-oriented version of the two new bikes, which will rise to $15,390 for the ABS version.
The Tiger 800 rolls on cast alloy wheels, with a 19-inch rim up the front. An adjustable seat can be set to either 830mm or 810mm, while an even lower optional seat is also available, which drops the perch by a further 20mm. The bike is suspended by a Showa 43mm inverted fork up the front with a Showa monoshock at the rear.
The Triumph Tiger 800 XC is, as its model suffix suggests, the off-road oriented bike of the pair, and it will retail for $16,290 ($17,290 for ABS).
The 800 XC, with its longer-travel suspension, spoked rims (including a 21-in item at the front, versus the 19-inch front rim of the road model) and handguards, is closest in spec to BMW’s F 800 GS, which sells in Australia for $17,350.
Meanwhile, the updated America and Speedmaster will retail for $13,990 (both on sale in January), the Thunderbird Storm for $21,990 (March), and we’ve already announced the heavily revised Speed Triple will be $17,140 (February).
The Bikesales Network will be riding the 2011 America and Speedmaster tomorrow at the Australia press launch, so keep an eye out for the a full report next week.
Meanwhile, Triumph has sharpened its pencil on some of its 2010 models, dropping the Tiger 1050 to $14,990, the Daytona 675 to $13,890, while both the Speedmaster and America are now $13,990 ride away.
