Not a fan of naming anything after something old, it's bad enough over here when someone says what bike have you got to reply Triumph Tiger and get the usual spiel about them having one in the 60s, hwich you have to break into and say no the 900 fuel injection model.

So Tiger Cub is a non starter for me
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

The F800GS has a wet weight of 207 kg and that's with a small 16l fuel tank.
I hope the Tiger 800XC has a larger tank.
Well, my cousin bought a new -10 F800GS a month ago and with 10 more horses the 800XC should be faster, at least on paper.
It will not be faster with me on it regardless. He's such a good driver that he beat me with his XT660, on twisties and gravel, with me on my Girly 955i.

With all these new models coming along the forum page header is going to look quite crowded when it gets redesigned  :shock:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Looking at the header one cannot really tell which way the evolution goes. From Steamer to Roadie or the other way around. For me the Steamer rules.

Named so for it's trellis frame that looks like a ladder, plus it plays off the Girly name...  bout time we had a Ladd instead of a Lass, eh?

What... no comment... I think it fits well...  Steamer, Girly, Roadie, Laddie..  but then, I am a yank, in yankland... :)

what about springers as in the tiger song ?

I like the nickname 'Addies' - as in 'The Adventure Bikes'
You have the normal 'Addie' and you have the 'sXC-Addie'

So there's:
- Steamers
- Girlies
- Roadies
&
- Addies

Then in 2012/2013 there'll be the 1200 ccm 'Grand-Addie'

Hope the 1200 isn't the GS adventure look alike.

Don`t hate me, but..............................

I`d call it disappointing.  :cry:

Looking at the latest pics, i now realise whats wrong with it.

It looks unfinished, a bit like its had the bodywork removed and not replaced.

It looks like the seat is just sitting on the frame, and the headlight assembly looks like its just been thrown on with no thought.

Just my humble opinion.  :D

Although just thinking if the forks and wheels will fit my Steamer.......... 8)

Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?
