Thought this looked good and appears a good new model for 2025. Still viewable via the link.

Triumph do seem to be very keen on the Tiger name. Appearing on both road going 17/17 wheeled and the more adventurous 17/19 and 17/21 wheeled versions.
This new 800 is clearly far more road focused, having more BHP and less weight than the ADV bike, along with 17 inch wheels and sharper styling. Looks good so far.

The new Tiger 800 is a wicked cool bike. It has a different engine than the Tiger900/850. The 800 engine is similar to the 765 with a longer stroke. It's a true sport touring bike. I'll take mine in yellow please!

Although the 900 replaced the 800, they are completely different bikes and not just a facelift and rebadge.

Agree, it looks very nice and well spec’d. I’m keeping an eye out for reviews and press stuff for more information. Be interesting to see how they price it. I’m likely to change bikes in 2026 and a few, very few bikes are making the shortlist. Early days for this one though.

The Tiger Sport has always been the road focused version in the Tiger range. When the Tiger ran the 1050cc engine they had a Sport version with 17/17 cast wheels. The most recent incarnation has the 660cc engine. This 800cc engine is a different engine from the 900cc Tiger engine. It is derived from the Trident engine which I think has a different crankpin offset to the 900cc engine. The 900cc has the weird 'T'plane crank. Not the 120º offset that most inline triples have had for ever and a day.

Yeah we wouldn't know about the 1050 Tiger Sport here in the States, they never brought it here. Was a sharp bike nonetheless. I had an '08 Tiger 1050 loved that bike. I put over 30k miles on it in 18 months. Sold it to buy a Sprint GT and did similar miles on that too. Great bikes those 1050s were. This Tiger 800 Sport is making the same horsepower and weighs 100lbs less than than the old Tiger 1050. It looks to be good spec with cruise and quick shifter standard equipment. I like that it has traditional panniers too. Not square boxes hung off the sides of the bike.

Integrated panniers too. This bike is the real deal! A nice 100hp+ sub 500lb sport touring bike with enough but not too much tech. Yep I'll be ordering one tomorrow.
In addition to the Honda or as a replacement?

When I was shopping prior to the tenere, I think it was one of the Triumph motorcycles I was looking at, the hp and tq graph were skewed. If you find the graph for the 800 the hp and tq line should cross at 5250. Whoever it was I was looking at was optimistic on the hp published. Notice the compression ratio is pretty high, the way they get away with that running on other than race gas is retarding the cam, which lowers dynamic compression, makes more hp at higher rpm, but loses power at lower rpm. I would predict pretty soft at the lower rpms, but when people ride these the hp increase is thrilling, the faster they go, the faster it accelerates. A triple with 2" stroke, not for me.

To replace the Honda and probably the S10. It's ordered and Honda is sold.

The 800 Sport was just released this week. Doubt it was the one you were looking at when you were shopping for your S10? Brand new engine so not much info other than the bore is 78mm same as StreetTriple.

Pretty sure it was not the one I was looking at. Think it was one of the larger displacement.

A bit more power and 50+KG less than the Super Tenere ( a comparison we can all relate to), hopefully the new 800 will have extremely good low and mid range drive…....logic suggests it will.
I hope the sea
They wont get that much more torque out of it if its revving higher. I would be amazed if the torque is that much better than the 765 bike its based on. Glad they have made that bike though they should have done it years ago. This idea thay had with the crank changes was bad.

It should have a little bit more torque than the 765 as if bore is the same at 78mm then they had to add stroke to get to 799 and stroke is torque. I remember when Ducati went from 1200 to 1260 on the Multistrada by adding stroke it really cured the bike's ills and made it much more enjoyable to ride.
I'm not a fan of the T plane crank either. How to screw up a perfectly good engine.
