Looking Good! Triumph keeps pulling the rabbit out of the hat with each model year. Honda must be embarrassed....

Horsecrap. Triumph ain't got no Vee Fours. Twins and Triples...all junk. Just ask KP.

I was thinking the exact same thing, Sarnali.

Good show, Triumph!

That's cause Triumph gets their ponies out of twins and triples, they don't need no idjit V4's.......

I'd sell my ZRX & vintage Volvo wagon for an XC.

What do you want for the Zed?

$2800 will buy it. I broke the fairing (which is masterfully taped together right now) but I still ride the living hell out of it. It comes with a custom backrest that I got from my Bro-In-Law off the ZRX forum. It's pretty comfy according to my kid. Oh, the tires are nearly new Mich Road2s that may be the best tires I've ever had on a bike.

BTW- I'd sell the Volvo for $4K. Under 140k miles.

I see all the specs are listed on triumphs web site now except the price.

I finally got to see these bikes. The local dealer has one each; a white 800XC and a black 800. The design is remarkable; these are the most elemental and efficient bikes I think I've ever seen, save perhaps a Monster. There isn't one thing on the bike that doesn't have to be there; and what is there is as simple and straightforward as it can be.

Unfortunately they don't have a demo bike yet, just the two for sale. But they will soon, and when it arrives, I will ride it!

And we'll be taking the Tiger on a 2-day ride in early June, and we're anxious to try it out!
