Oh Mamma  :shock:

by lengthening the stroke, a move intended to fatten the torque curve at low revs and make the engine less peaky

Yeah, like the triple needs more torque and is peaky  :roll:

I think they meant the 675 Daytona is (comparatively) peaky ...

You might well have a point there, not ridden a Daytona, had an absolute hoot / scared my self silly on a Street Triple though  :shock:  (more on that soon  :oops: )

the road going Tiger  has sorta gone back to it's origins ........albeit more refined .

don't know why they didn't just keep refining the steamer  :icon_scratch

[Nimrod11]

May be I am just not used to see that angle, but the engine looks so boxy, very low, and sticking out there, no frame around it. Looks like the engine is hanging from under the frame.

Is that the oil filter sticking out in front, just beside the 3 exhaust pipes? Same dumb place as the new Super Tenere? I thought is was much the same engine but it looks very different... to me anyway... :roll:

Tiger 800 and Tiger 1200?!? does this mean the Bear dies? I thought the Bear would continue as a roadie while these new bikes would go back to the abandoned adventure segment.

IF it (onroad version):

1.  Is comfy enough for a 6+ footer.
2.  Is able to carry a large top box on it , no problem.
3. Gets 50+ mph.
4. Actually has a decent charging system (no Sasquatch Fix required).
5. Has a slightly lower seat than 33 inches.

AND

6. People tilt their head sideways (like they do now) when they see me,

THEN,

Goodbye Girly,
Hello "Beaker"!

don't know why they didn't just keep refining the steamer  :icon_scratch

I always thought The Steamer is a great bike with one big flaw. The flaw was so big you just accepted it considering everything else that seems "good enough".

It's really top-heavy.

Recently I test drove the Triumph Sprint GT in Reno, Nevada.  I had access to a highway bypass that had just been completed. The road was completely flat like an airport runway. So I cranked on it. The first thing I noticed was how insanely low the center of gravity was compared to the Steamer. Aerodynamics were also really well-sorted. At over 100 MPH my head was in a cone of silence. Heaving into a banked turn, the bike felt like it was gyroscopically controlled. It was awesome. The Steamer could just never come close to that. And nor should it. But the later Girly comes much closer. Just sayin'.

Cheers,

Nick
