After re-reading my post I really did not address the very question I posed to you all with my enjoyable romp on the Trumpy 800XC.
The Triumph is a wonderful ride. It just doesn't cut it as a long distance runner, bagged up - 2up - hunting bear or whatever y'all hunt when you are out "in it".
The Supa10 had the low end in SPADES. The torque was freekin' off the chart. There was no ...no - wait a sec...NO comparison
between the Tiger and the Supa10 on launching. It was like the Tiger had an anchor tied to it. Once under way - plenty of torquey and HP smiles to be had -- but no launch.
The Supa10 had it from the low to the "GO". Rev steadily in first and then shift to 2nd and whack the loud grip and B A M M you could easily hoist the front wheel.
It hooks up THAT much, folksingers. It is a blast to ride 'cause there is NO DRAMA. It goes straight, it goes into tight corners, it goes slow, it goes funky fast...it just plain goes.
Adjust the front end, and manage the wind (*which others have already done*) -- boys/girls -- we've got ourselves a winnah...!!!
