Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Full torque

good sound

large tank

relaxed seating position

The best Tiger 800 ever - because while the new Tiger 800 XCa can boast a special Offroad Pro mode and a superb standing position off-road, it doesn't mess around on paved roads either: superb seating position, the same manoeuvrability as the more road-oriented Tiger 800 XRt thanks to wider handlebars and even more lean angle clearance thanks to the longer suspension travel. You don't have to do without comfort despite serious off-road capabilities and sporty rideability; colour TFT display, height-adjustable windshield, heated grips and seats as well as full LED lighting are not even available at extra cost from other manufacturers in the mid-range touring enduro class, but are standard on Triumph's top model.

Agile engine

easy handling

full comfort features

six different riding modes

great standing position off-road

traction control and ABS can be deactivated
