Nice ideas Phantom, the removable beak and interchangeable wheels.
I assume that the front brake disc is the same size on both 21" and 19" wheels so as to allow a straight swap without the need to space out brake callipers etc?
If the same manufacuring process is used on the 800 as on the 675 then those wheels will be light as a feather!
I think we're going to see these bikes before the end of the year.
Would make a nice Christmas present. (For someone with a lot more money than me!)

From a very cursory inspection, the front end of the 1st bike had a spoked 21 inch front wheel and lots of fanicily (IMHO) molded plastic bits that looked a lot like a F800gs and the back end of the other looked like a 17 rear with, again lots of wacky molded plastic shaped stuff, like the Yam xt660 Tenere.

Maybe it will be a f800gs/XT660T hybrid?

When you get the chance, check the Triumph clothing catalogue and their "Adventure Clothing" section. I would scan and upload the appropriate (IMHO funny) pages, but I can't find the cable that connects my scanner to the PC, sorry). So, if you buy the bike, make sure you buy the gear so you can look the part .C

Would this be a paper catalogue ?
I can't seem to find an online catalogue with "Adventure Clothing ".

Yes.

I found the scanner cable that my son abducted. Here is the double page:

REAL ADVENTURERS have matching bikes, gear, helmets, GPS, panniers, etc.

Damn, do we need to know all the lyrics off by heart before we can ride the new Tiger?

One more (will that instrument cluster have a proper analogue rev counter I wonder?)

[thephantom]

A few pics of "official accessories"...

It looks like the standard rev/speedo unit that's on the 675/1050 models at the moment. Could possibly be a couple of new features though.

Looks to me like the first thing TT is going to bring out is an indicator relocation kit. Drop that bike in the crate and you'd better remember your hand signals and hope it isn't MOT day!

It would be really cool if the indicator "stalks" were bendy - made of a tube of plastic that would deform when pressure was applied but designed to bend back afterwards.

It's easy to make your own with a short length of thick rubber hose .

[Dodger]

The bike looks promising ,from the jigsaw pictures .
But a cheap and nasty chain adjuster ,why can't they use a snail cam adjuster ?
Hopefully they have kept down the weight of the bike [and the price].

Thanks for the tip, I think I'll have a go at that! chug

As for the price, I agree - the price of this bike needs to be very reasonable, there are signs of cost cutting and I hope this is reflected in the retail price. If they price it right, I can see them selling loads.

[Selous]

hope they will show it at Bike Live (was NEC Bike Show) Nov 27 to dec 5
