I've enjoyed plenty of Triumph seat time of late, but it's been a while since I've thrown a leg over a Tiger-- in fact, my last encounter with the striped one involved nearly 1,000 miles on the big-engined 1050 model back in 2007.
Times change, and so has the Tiger; though Triumph still makes a 1,050cc version, they've also got a smaller, lighter, nimbler alternative powered by a 799cc triple: the Tiger 800. I got a brief taste of its personality when I took possession of a Triumph Tiger 800 XC. But since I couldn't put the necessary miles on it for a full evaluation, I handed it over to SUV Guide Jason Fogelson, who's also pitched in with reviews of the Harley Cross Bones and Nightster, various Kawasaki dual-purpose, cruiser and street bikes, and the Triumph Rocket III Touring, among others.
What did Jason think of Triumph's latest middleweight dual-purpose effort? Read his 2011 Triumph Tiger 800XC Review to find out
