  • turn your mic gain down

  • I think they good 5 minutes out of it

    

  • I am 6'3'' and sat on one at the dealership yesterday and it fit like a glove.  Perfect peg placement and I am flat footed at the higher seat hight.

  • Get mine in two weeks... yay!

  • I am 6 foot 3 inches (1.9 Meters) will i be too big for this bike?

  • @SuperSonicPsykic I've just ordered mine, and I'm 6 foot 6. Test Rode it two days ago, and its comfortable, and my legs fit nicely in the grooves. Its a cracking bike.

  • @SuperSonicPsykic These bikes are great for tall people ;D

  • bmw copy

    

  • Except for the engine, it`s BMW`s F800`s clone!

  • @bucefalo123456789 Not exactly. This has a much lower seat height which will make cornering a lot easier (in theory at least). 

  • hello anyone know what is the lowest setting for the rider with the gel seat? can it reach below 800mm?

  • @Apoman13 The lower setting is 810mm, the higher is 830mm...But you can easily touch the ground, as you can see in the video when the reviewer starts up the engine...Cheers!

  • @RainbowWalker911

    But not for the XC. There is it 845mm minimum.

  • @Hoshibandit Yeah, that's right.

  • @Apoman13 I would be also interested the bike if seat height could drop somehow to 790mm and ground clearance is still original. Apoman, have you found any solution?

  • MCN, you really need to get the audio sorted out on your video reviews - it makes then seem totally amateur and it is not hard to fix

  • Yeah I would have arrested you Fuckin' Numbnuts....Time and place moron

  • is this site for long haired smelly fucking bikers fucking greasy cunts

  • smelly irish

  • ride me baby ; )

  • put a gift in front of youtube in the url. awesome prises

  • Use firefox + adblocker !!  :)

  • Bikes road test actually told a potetial buyer somthing about the bike.Your road test was rubbish.Just watched this film and you got an exclusive ride.....and you wheelied it! I am now totally convinced........never to buy m.c.n. again.

  • tiger sc  is sexy

  • you need to turn down the receiver volume on the radio mic you have.

  • What do you expect from MCN? - three times round a roundabout to get you knee down and a wheelie on the public highway - its no wonder we're being legislated off the road!

  • watch?v=nSG-awpIs4E

  • I want one!

  • Are you aware that it is illegal to do wheelies or other dangerous stunts on public roads?

  • @chlgeuter

    Yep, he's a dick head, just the image we're trying to avoid..

  • can i have one for nowt?

  • He's British, of course he sounds like a Muppet!

    I think the bike is the point of focus. I love it. Already put down my deposit.

  • @pdxtgr Its a British bike too maybe you should just say goodbye to your deposit

  • @jfmn24 LoL

  • Is he related to HARRY POTTER?

  • Niceee bike.

    Gayyy ad, has anyone seen them spammy pass along things people have been writing on youtube recently, get this video to 100000 hits etc? we should make one of them but like this

    If you don't like the adverts on Youtube, don't ever click them. Once you click, Google aka Youtube get paid regardless of whether you buy so will keep putting more where there is a demand. If most people on Youtube could stop clicking them simple economics would put an end to them.

    Pass it on.

  • Small tip...download firefox, go to add-ons and add 'adblock plus' add the uk/us block list and you'll never see another add on the internet, ever, anywhere (all free).

    Nice looking bike though!

  • I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! :D

  • 429502

  • MCN need to buy a new camera..

  • just yak!

  • That sounds really nice!

  • very nice bike!!!

  • wont be sneakin anymore early rides after puttin it up on its back wheel haha

  • his mic sucks

  • I'll stick to me Ural.

  • Just put my money down, white with ABS, can't wait to early spring arrival :-)

  • MCN - greate channel!

    Video ok, sound not ok.

  • We like?

  • Sounds nothing like a Triumph, more like a Vespa 50.

  • Now that's the first 'modern styling' bike I've liked the look of for ages. At least it doesn't look like an angry pokemon!

  • I've got the tiger 1050 and thats a great bike ( a real do it all bike)

    so if thats anything to go by this should be great as well. And yes the adds are a pain in the arse.

  • I want one!

  • thats a bmw f800gs

  • Shame the road version doesn't have chromed wire wheels ... oh and hand guards ... and a big screen ..

    All that will pump up the price but I'm glad more manufacturers are getting inot this type of bike.

  • i was saving my money to buy a fazer 800.... thank god i wasnt harry!

  • not too heavy, not too expensive, not too hard. i think, they did ist the right way.

  • Perfect... Wotsisiu

  • ehm... that's it? Copying a BMW F800GS? IMHO Triumph missed the chance to fill out the gap that KTM caused with not offering a small Adventure any more... it should look more Ralley-like

  • @slangkam agreed!

  • Anyone know the Total weight???

  • @Muschka01 215kg

  • 90 mph and wheelying on public roads ?

  • i was pretty excited about the launch of this bike until i saw this vid.... its a bit of a disappointment... hopefully once the reviews are done i will be swayed into liking it.

  • Comment removed

  • Please RTFM for the Mic.

  • @rathbonephilip Agreed. They have the gain level set far too high causing distortion and clipping.

    For the layman... it makes the sound very shrieking and shrill. Turning the gain down about 2-3db would help a lot.

  • wow!!! if thats meant to be the road version then its soooooo ugly. Naturally as an xc version you'd expect it to look like it does but as a road version I think its seriously lacking. I thought we would get a baby tiger 1050 with a smaller engine but oh no, instead we get a gs clone with a 19inch front wheel. doh!!

  • @elementlead1 i wouldnt even give it the courtesy of calling it a gs clone. the ride hieight to me seems just as the tiger 1050. hopefully the suspension is better allowing it to be more adventure oriented unlike the 1050. wth are you gonna do with a 19 inch front tire at 80mph going down the freeway.... talk about stability problems...

  • You are the best

  • Nice look. Should have a great engine but put a set of nobbies on it and watch the I mud stick like glue under that front fender. Yeah they probably have a higher riser version of the fender but it will be optional of course! Still good to see another option for the dirt.

  • You'd have to be very rich or very stupid to take something this expensive off roading. I would imagine the more on road version will make more sense. I test drove the 800GS and while it sounds amazing! it just doesnt handle well at all. I'm dying to give this a go if Triumph will let us test ride their bikes.

  • I Love MCN and dont get me wrong but Pulling Wheelies on Public Roads come on thats just Stupid. And God know how they get away with it because i heard of a guy who had his door kicked down by Police because they saw him on youtube doing Illegal stuff on his Bike. Yet MCN do this shit all the time.

  • That Off Road needs Off Road Tyres they have no reall beef on them

  • haha You guys are awesome, squeezing an early first ride out of Triumph. Can't wait to see what final MSRP figures are like. Might be enough to convince me that I don't need a 1050 :)

  • I wish it was more distinctive looking. It can't be coincidental that it looks just like the F800GS. It wouldn't take that much. Does the Multistrada, 990, Tenre or Stelvio look like the F800GS? No. Sorry Triumph, you could've done better to make it a TRIUMPH..

    I like it though. When I get a new bike next year, I'll seriously consider this bike. I rode the F800GS and it just wasn't there for me...

  • Comment removed

  • Well done with the sneak-peak. This Triumph might be a beemer-killer....

  • triumph tiger 800 will piss on the BMW f800gs.

  • wait a sec someones just put a triumph badge on a bmw f800gs :S sounds abit naff though

  • the bike itself sounds like shit

  • @Leeroooy it sounds just like the other current Triumph triples, fantastic.

  • Cool!  Looking forward to it. Hopefully they sent it our way (USA).

  • @daporkchopexpress that'll be the good 'ole triple cylinder engine then, its inevitable!

  • subscribing to this :) 

  • WOW! Only thing I can say. Wonder who they hired to make such an interesting machine. Looks similar to the BMW F800 GS and I'd go for it. If I'd change my 1150 GSA

  • @Alexandruioancuza Hi! The bike was designed 'in house' by its own stylists...in fact the team that designed the Daytona 675.The bike started development in 2007,before the BMW f800 was launched or anyone knew what it looked like.Triumph quite clearly state that they are going after some of the F800 market,however.I think this bike will sell very well,to all sorts of bikers.

  • @955nsim I'm sure it will. Honestly, from what I'd seen right now, which isn't much, I'd buy it :D. It has a nice look, distinct from the F800 GS, but enduro oriented bikes can only be so different. Never ridden an 800 Triumph, so don't really know how it handles, but I'm looking forward to doing so. What do you ride?

  • @Alexandruioancuza Most triumphs are known for their good handling,straight from the crate..so to speak,so I imagine that this will be no exception! My bikes are an old BSA lightning (1973) and a 2002 Triumph Daytona 955i,which is a superb bike and sounds beautiful.Safe riding!!

  • higher rev range on an enduro? ooops

  • Would take it over the BM

  • Just no. Think I will stick with the 1050 if I get a triumph

  • adds = DIE!

    i mean....are you THAT desperate to make money? -.-

    interesting model coming out from triumph! didn't really expect it

  • @Dafidd I don't get any adds... Unless you are talking about the one at the beggining of the video where they are talking about MCN compare?...

  • @M0rga7a the add usually pops up at the botoom of the vid screen

  • @jfmn24 I must be lucky then because I don't even get that. Might be something to do with Adblock Plus on firefox? :P

  • @M0rga7a thats the one.;)

  • Was that duct tape on the bike at the end?

  • @FerolaJ yes, it was probubly a bike used in testing....

  • Sick of the ads.

  • @MikesFitnessGoals ahhh come on - You tube is an amazing free resource, you can't wait 10 seconds for your content? You'd prefer subscription??

  • @MikesFitnessGoals  yeah, me too!

  • Not my kind of styling, like the BMW's more.

  • @DavidSlagter price and reliability differs ..

  • @nomainreason Well tell me the diffrence...

  • nice review

  • More character than the BMW all the pensioners on them around here for some reason, Sorry BM riders only saying what I see, Triumph anyday :)

  • Look great, I can't wait when I can do a test ride ....

    Bmw have a problem I think ........

  • bmw gs copy!!!!!!! : )

  • BMW beware :)

  • looks like a nice bike and i like the fact that they have a more offroad oriented bike as well

  • Looks sweet. I'd own one.

  • Triumph and KTM seems to building bikes one some concept know if u rip the brand off the bike its really hard tell how made it !
