Press on the new 800 is rolling in from all points now. Looks like a winner. If you think the 800 may be too small pick up the new issue of BIKE from the UK. Cracking, as they say!

Is it time for the Bash yet?!!!!

I've got a Tiger 800 XC on order. I expect to be riding it to the BTB this year.

Nice review. I'll be sitting on one in a few weeks at the IMS show-I'll let you know how that feels! I like the GPS mount they're making for it. Wonder if it will fit my Tiger?(Saw that in Triumph magazine-Good write up there, too.

Here's a great video of the XC being test-ridden offroad.

Note that it's got the stock Battlewing tires on it. If it manages that well with street tires, imagine how it'll do with knobbies.

Cycle World has a real nice write-up. If I remember correct thge writer said the Xc was the most fun bike he has had off-road including purpose-built bikes. You should be quite pleased with that XC.

Like the Sprint GT, Triumph will hold a national roll-out event all over the US in Spring. Should be fun-the GT one was a very nice event.
