All it needs now is a supercharger

NOW it's starting to sound like a proper adventure of a bike!

And there I was thinking it was just a BMW without those funny sticky-out bits.....

yeah I just copied and pasted - how the hell are they going to get 7499 ccs between your legs?

presume it is 799 or is it 749 or 794 or ................... whatever (in a sarcastic voice just like my 7 year old)

anyway the front brake resevoir looks a little more understated than the F800GS - had a look round one down at Jeff Gray's during Octoborbikefestthingy the front brake fluid resevoir sticks out like the proverbial dogs bits - looks like they have got the risers in the wrong place - stacked them up and put the resevoir on top (or is it like a hot water cylinder in the attic - gravity assisted?)

[Taz]

Huh? Wot you dribbling about?

R800GS - Never heard of one. Post up a pic and not one of an R80GS or an F800GS and then I'll stand corrected mmmkay

Fuel Tank Capacity: 22.75 litres

Nup; 19L. (5.0 US gal.)

Hmmm, seeing as Triumph is an english company I used UK gallons, why would they quote using US?

Biggest consumer market in the (western) world? and most xenophobic? Poms probably can translate metric - especially if it annoys the Froggies.

Really... I dunno, but I'd just finished checking out the TriumphAdventure.com website which said 19L for the 800, then claimed "long range fuel tank" for the 800XC... but it was only 19L too.

Some other odd things, such as the 800XC accessories including bespoke panniers for both models, but they aren't listed for the 800.

Might have a point there....looks like a common misconception

I really want to like the Triumph but if I put my sensible cap on I really have only limited use for a 'big' adventure bike.

when you get into multi cylinder adventure bikes you are really (in my humble opinion) getting into adventure tourers

I want 2 things from an adventure bike
1/ a bike that I can comfortably ride from one end of the country to the other
2/ a bike that I can enjoy taking on lumpy tracks like old whanga rd, makiro etc

The klr is surprisingly good as a tourer and is at the upper end weight/size wise of what I enjoy riding in lumpy conditions.

A bigger bike like the XC would only reduce my ability to enjoy riding in the places I love



long live the klr

Agree with all the above however the difference in weight is not all that and power to weight is no comparison

KLR is about 196kg at 43 horses
XC is 216kg at 94 horses

If only I was a betterer rider with a bigerer wallet.....................

Price does matter in many cases tho. Can't see the triumph costing less than the Ten.

particularly off road (not gravel) - I think more horsepower can make a bike harder to ride. The klr might be vrging on underpowered but it puts its power down very well - maintaining traction when a 'light flywheel/high power' bike will just spin up and go sideways (and possibly dump its rider).

on road - more horse power would simply increase the chance of me doing something really dumb or earning lots of demerit points.

sure would like to take an XC for a ride though

logic is one thing - a bike that gives you a woody is another thing entirely

[Monstaman]

Still non adjustable forks like the F800GS, you woulda thought on a bike like this it would be a given thing.
