2025 Tiger Sport 800

[Time4another]

Opinions on this. Does it get after the Tracer 9 GT?

First impressions are a beefed up Tiger Sport 660. Will deffo being hitting the dealer for a closer look.

Only thing doing it down for me is that dash.

[Neal H]

I agree it’s disappointing that they’ve kept the Trident dash, but other than that I like it a lot. An uprated Tiger Sport 660 with more grunt sounds good to me.

I’m probably in the market for a light weight tourer early next year and this looks a good contender.

[lazybike]

Yeah..looks good! Decent power, 17" wheels, I bought a 800 V strom as a stop gap for this year, and I'm surprised how good it is, I'll be having a look at the new Tiger and CB1000.

[Janluke]

Looks like a modern Tiger 1050

I also like the look of this. Had a go on the Tiger Sport 660 when my 1200 was in for service and really enjoyed it. But then I thought I’ll probably get bored of it quite quickly, if only it had 95bhp vs 80 then they release this. Promising.

Thanks.

The CB1000 Hornet bargain thread had me on the MOTOBOB channel from which I learnt Triumph updated the Trident 660 with an IMU and a sport map that may have dealt with slack throttle and cruise control which Neeves, and probably others, said would've been useful on the Tiger Sport 660 and so was wondering when the updates done to the Trident 660 in Dec. would've made it to the Tiger Sport.

It's a shame they didn't TSB or recall the Trident 660 for the stalling without throwing any error codes problem in Autumn 2022.

The Zack Courts Revzilla Tiger Sport 660 review likening it to a Tracer 9 had me looking at an ad. for used a one.

Do like that black. Going over the spec options apart from the standard quickshifter everything else is an option. There's a £1400 touring pack covering panniers and liners, top box and liner and a centre stand. Even heated grips are a £250 option. Getting up over 13k pretty easily.

Thanks for the profile images. Cosmic yellow is gloss.

It's more than I want to spend. My cost to change would get me used 20K mile Tracer 9 or two other older, cheaper bikes or a used car.

At the end of the Zack Courts Daily Rider review of the Tiger Sport 660 one of the viewer questions is whether it should have had the 765 motor.

The clear side screens remind me of the KTM RC390 fairing.

[Stevemtb]

This was what I thought I wanted to buy but for some reason I'm really underwhelmed. Maybe the 765 motor would have swayed me, but either way it's coming in @£12.5- £13k for my needs and thats too much imo.
CB1000 SP has changed the price point, unless it's a massive let down and I can't see that it will be, thats what I'll be on for 2025.

MOTOBOB has done a decent video on it...its on youtube

[TurboHatchback]

I can't get excited by it, just seems a bit meh. It's not cheap, it's not pretty, it doesn't appear to offer any outstanding specs, it just seems like another unremarkable bike in a crowded sector.

[hiccy18]

Interested enough that I played with the configuration, by the time it's the sports tourer it claims to be it's £13k. That's not crazy money, but you can get a Suz GX with panniers for that kind of money just now.

I'm curious why they went 800 rather than 900.

[Drawweight]

I'd discount that for one reason and one reason alone.

I do a lot of riding 2up and that pillion seat just doesn't do it for me. It looks about 75% of the size of the 850 Tiger Sport.

Obviously going for looks over function. Good on them and it won't bother the vast majority of buyers but just not for me.

[Neal H]

I ordered one today, subject to a test ride when they’re available.

Cosmic yellow. I just added panniers and heated grips to the standard spec (it comes with cruise, quickshifter and bluetooth) so the cost comes in at just over £12k. The only obvious rival I could think of was the Tracer 9 GT which once I’d configured it came out at £3k more.

[JulianHJ]

I really like the look of these, especially the Cosmic Yellow variant, but I think once I've specced it up it'll be £14k. For that sort of money I'd probably rather get a Tiger 900 GT Pro, which is only a grand or so more with the bits I'd want.

[2ndclasscitizen]

That's very tempting. I'd been thinking about going down the ADV/tallrounder route next year but didn't really fancy any of the current Tigers.

Sounds like the motor is an evolution of the 765 motor rather than being from the Tiger triple engine family.

Congrats. Does look good with the panniers and no top box. When are Triumph stating delivery?

[Neal H]

March 2025. Normally I don’t like waiting for things, but this bike is for next season so I don’t mind. I’ve been wanting a smaller touring bike and was seriously considering the Tiger Sport 660/Tracer 7 route early next year, so when this came up it just looked like a really good option - sort of sits between the Tiger Sport 660/Tracer 7 and the Tiger 900/Tracer 9.

[Hugo Stiglitz v2]

I don't know it just looks meh. It's lost the Tiger 'look'.

It just looks like an identikit Japanese Manga comics slash typical bike.

[mikey_b]

I rather like it. Though (as the owner of a 1050 Tiger Sport) I'd really like to see one with the 1200 engine from the Speed Triple. That would be a lovely ride, a modern version of mine.
