some 'spy shots' in Motor Cycle News today, and Triumph have lauched a new website for ththe bikes (nothing much on there at the moment)
http://www.triumphadventure.com/ (http://www.triumphadventure.com/)
Oooooh!
Wonder if i can transplant the Girly front fairing on one.
What is this news? Triumph going back to its roots?
The address isn't working. I NEED more info!
this video is all thats on the website so far...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpHFwyQ2 ... r_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpHFwyQ2du8&feature=player_embedded)
Not a great video, but some info you can see: it will have a chain transmission, not a shaft like the beemer or the new Tenere. :? It also comes in a white van.
and a version with cast wheels and one with spokes...
...hope its not as pricey as the Tenere.. :shock:
Also seems to have a "baboon but" tail-light.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
27 days to the release of the first of the three :new_popcornsmiley
So does that mean there will be two incarnations of the smaller bike and they will do a retro adventure job onthe 1050?
I couldn't tell from the clip if the motor was the big'n or not.
Anyway, great news!
Having read the article, it seems the engine is much narrower than the 1050, as in the 675, but they suspect it'll be bored out for more power and torque. I would guess around 800 to match the BMW.
I was going to test ride a Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX, but I think I can wait a while now we have something concrete to go on.... :roll:
If you subscribe to the link on the adventure website they tell you the engine will be revealed on 4th August.
Simply
Can't
Wait!
Is it OK to be this excited, if you're a grown man? :oops:
I hope it's still called a tiger--I'd hate to have to change the name of the site...
Geof
EDIT: Though, just to be safe, I snagged triumphadv.com.
Supposed to be two 800 cc. One off road, the second dual sport.
in 2012 a 1200 cc shaft drive Tiger along with 1200 cc Trophy.
That's the info I heard based on last dealer meeting for what it's worth.
Good move on snaging Triumphadv.com
I think it will be a Triumph Adventure with the current 1050 as the Tiger.
At least thats what local dealer told me.......
The Trophy is coming back also to compete wit the RT's and ST's....course you already knew that.
Yeah, I've got wood like a tween girl at a Jonas brother's concert. :roll:
I'll wait and see if this one comes to the states. I'm not holding my breath.
And... what looks (as much as we can see) like decent lights :hello2 yippeee.
Ooooh I've come over all moist :love10 :oops:
Nice looking helmet, anybody recognise it?
Emma said we should start saving up for one because she likes the front tyre..
"That's good enough for me" :shock: :D
Sin put your helmet away! :shock:
So whaddya reckon? £8k? £9k? for the new bike?
I'm off to start looking for pound coins behind the sofa and under the fridge.... Oooh 50p. I'm 0.00625% of the way there already!! Wonder what's in the kids rooms.... :lol:
I'm soooo glad I didn't buy a GTR1400 last month :lol:

Oh there are kids in the kids rooms :icon_scratch SELL THEM :twisted:
Just put the word out on the street that I'm selling my Vara after the China trip, a friend said "you pamper it like it was your child but you're going to sell it?" yes and your point is ? :icon_scratch :roll:
I finally get the Girly farkled up for the desert trip and they tell me they are finaly going to make an adventure Tigger..
I don't know about a shaftie 1200, would have the same problems as the Girly, but I am excited about an 800 beastie

WHY ! the Girly front fairings the reason I've never bought one.
Doubt your going to see another engine capacity other than whats already in the Triumph range my guess would be the Adventure will be a 1050 and they might bring out a smaller 675.

They will launch it BEFORE December 21st, duhh :lol:

Here you go... Sweet luggage!
(http://www.swyve.org/stuff/Baby_Tiger_Spy_Shot.jpg)
That looks a lot like an F800GS with the chain on the wrong (right) side.
Wish Triumph would stop teasing us and release it already. :roll:
I called at my local dealer an hour ago. In reply to a direct question, he told me it would be a 675, and it would appear in the autumn. We'll sell you one then, he said. He seemed quite definite about that (selling me one,I mean).
Love it! Looks like the cast wheel version will still be 19"
Our local mag AMCN suggest the smaller of the two engines will be based on the 675 but displace 770cc. They don't quote their source.
They make an interesting point, probably based just on watching the adventure video, that the spoked wheel bike rolling down the ramp has a deeper engine note than the cast wheeled bike. This leads them to speculate that the spoked wheeled bike maybe has the 1050 donk? That doesn't make sense to me.
Anyway, the more I see the more I like! Bring 'em on!
I would have been happy with a 675( w/ some low end get up) in a Girly chassis.
Had a test on the super Tenere today, the new Tiger is going to have to go some to beat that, shaft drive and it pulls your arms off in sport mode!
just found this.........

The new Cycle World today said it will be a 675 bored & stroked to an 825...
Steel trellis, liking :D looks robust and repairable in Durgadurgastan.
It has to be an 800 shureley, wonder if those lucky enough to be going to Triumph Live will be any better informed when they come back. If you find anything out and don't tell us immediately we will "keel" you :lol:
Sin your bikes are like so much lost property scattered around the world. Mine are like so much broken property scattered around the garage!
Agree we need a report....and we need it asap.

Don't even start me on my Range Rovers :oops:
First sign of specs or even a decent photo I am off down to the dealer with everything lying around and down the back of the sofa, the wife has sensibly locked her diamonds away and the nieghbours kids hide when they see me coming :lol:
What I've seen so far it looks like a love child of a new Multistrada and a Super Tenerre, lighter and with a triple in it :wings yummy.
The silly marketing website says 1day 20hours til they reveal something more. Wish they'd get on with it!
Quote from: "Bixxer Bob"I was going to test ride a Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX, but I think I can wait a while now we have something concrete to go on.... :roll:
By all means test one but you'll hate it after the Tiger. It's horrible.
Also, we're gonna need a name for these new things for their own thread.
There's a thread going on http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/14 ... ost1647834 (http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/148352-what-are-we-going-to-call-the-new-tiger-6.html#post1647834)
The articles in Cycle World and Motorcyclist are SPECULATIONS as to what the new bike will be.
They did the same thing with another dual sport... the Yamaha TDM1200 and the FJR1300...
The pictures in the magazine are NOTHING like that of the spy shots... it is a photo-shopped 675 front end onto a 1050 tiger...
The new bike looks MUCH MUCH MUCH more like a FG800 than the original tiger...
Which is badass.... I can't wait... I may have to trade in my 955.
Details about powerplant should be released in 13 hrs..... :o
12 hrs !!
KK
It's not going to be a big shock folks. 3 cylinders, dual overhead cams, fuel injection, painted black, 100 plus horsepower, 800 plus cc's.
What else do you want to know?
That is all I need to know...........me likey 8)
11 hrs !! :lol:

10 hrs !! :roll:

If you need someone to take that Roadie out and blow the dust off it give me a shout :lol:
Web site now seems to have frozen. Me thinks the IT people got their sums wrong.
Well the next teaser is up...
:o
The engine is a: ALL NEW TRIPLE
Size = not stated *Doooh* :twisted:
Hey Howard,
We know secrets are difficult to keep, but we'll trust you with ours...
Adventure bikes have to carry out a whole range of roles with minimum fuss. That's why Triumph has been busy ensuring its latest pair of young cubs will set a new standard when they're introduced later this year.
We think a triple is the best configuration for an adventure bike. It's compact and has a natural character that ideally suits a wide range of duties. Our long stroke engine will deliver smooth, controllable torque for both tricky off-road riding and the urban jungle...but with the higher rpm characteristics that just devour on-road miles.
A triple is also more refined than a twin, which means that the bike is less tiring and less intrusive on the open road. So you can just relax and enjoy the trip.
Continue the adventure
Keep your eye on your emails, we'll be in touch again soon.
WTF is going on?
This is bullshit... I was expecting some numbers. What a disappointment.
yeah. that's a little silly--no specs!?!? WTF!?!? We already knew it would be a triple.
Geof
HAhahaaaaaa.......total bull. :evil:
Tell us somthing we dont already know.
Or just tell me when I can go see one with my own two eyes.
It will be "good enough"
I now have an uncontrollable urge to choke the shit out of the Triumph ad people. Wankers! :evil:
I'm actually quite annoyed.
What a load of video cock tease nonsense.
Dear Marketing@Triumph
Stand that f@:*ing motorbike still so I can have a proper look at it or I'm going to stick a steamer swingarm through the spokes.
Now tell me much power it really makes
Now weigh it
Now tell me what it costs and when I can have one
Grrr! :evil:
Tossers...... someone from Triumph will be reading this & laughing their socks off.
Wel f*$k you am gonna buy a Super Tenere.... or a Multistrada... or... :roll:
:shock: :? :x :evil:
Well that countdown was a complete waste of time !!
KK
All this negative speak is really what they wanted. Just teasing all of us and wanting to keep us guesing and dreaming of what is to come. Little do they realize that we will judge the bike on its merits and not any advertising B.S..
Next month they will introduce the tires!
tett
Feel like emailing them and asking what's the make of the cool helmet the test rider's wearing and nothing about the bike :lol: :evil:
Was the use of the word 'Cub' significant.....
Ok so it's speculation and tattle, but hey what else is there to do????
here's a spy shot - :5moped :lol:
I was able to extract this from the video. Not much tho.
God! these bikes had better be good after all this! :evil: :x
someone on TRN said they were horrified(paraphrasing here) about the welded passenger pegs etc... I replied
____________
Slow down there bubba... ( it's a joke) me thinks you are getting way to wound up about this ...
A) the welds on this don't LOOK like good welds.. they look like " Hey, somebody finds some pegs and tack them on here".. it is a mule.. and test mules look like ticky tacky..
B) does anyone think they would really put out a bike with pegs that far outboard? (refer to test mule comment)
C) the whole point of this exercise is to see how wound up they can get you... the more noise you make, the better they are doing their job.... (refer to test mule)
D) by creating all this controversy, they further enhance the whole marketing effort, including pissing us all off for teasing too much and making us wait wait wait.. ( refer to test mule)
E) they are throwing falsies out there to confuse you and the competition... ( refer to test mule)
for anyone to say their new model is a game changer, lays down a gauntlet that they will either meet and triumph over, or crash and burn in a very big way... they aren;t schtupid ( I hope) and the ADV camp has some extremely well built and thought out machines, by people that have been building them for quite a while... Triumph has set their bar very high with this campaign, and if they do NOT meet the challenge the press and the competition will eat them for lunch.... not to mention what we will do.... lol
I dread to think what some people here are like on Christmas Eve..................... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Triumph have never made a one off engine capacity for any model, so my guess is it'll either be a 675 or a 1050 or one of each.

Here they are a little Photoshop-enhanced. The offroad version is very interesting, although I would wish for a cleaner more KTM-oriented design, not the overloaded BMW-style.
I think that the bikes we are seeing are mechanically the bikes we will get, but I would bet cosmetically they are not... the windscreens look clunky... the rear indicators don't look like they belong... the rear foot peg mounts are real rough... .... neither bike looks good to me in these shots... but I could be all wet... we'll see....
