I prefer the 800 over the 900. It looks more substantial and of course doesn't have the 900's TFT display which I'm not sure i could live with. Nice bike fella.
Although the 900 fixes a few things I don't like about the 800, eg air filter location, removable rear pegs, tubeless wheels, indicator location (I want to do this mode)
i have had both the 2018 Tiger 800 XCA and a 2021 Tiger 900 Rally Pro. While the Rally Pro might have been a tad better in almost every terms, except for the pronounced engine vibrations of the T-crank. This was a no go for me, now I waiting for a good opportunity to find a last gen Tiger 800 XCA again. That engine is soo buttery smooth. This satin green color looks so noble too...
Great vid bubba! I’ve had my 800xca for about a year now. It’s an absolute dream. Would love to see more Tiger centered content! Keep up the great work. Cheers from San Diego
Used to own a tiger 800,went back to Yamaha and i regret it little bit... the fit and finish Triumph delivers makes you feel "special" and its worth the money 😊 I will probably start searching for a tiger again next year when the warranty on my Tracer expires 😅 love the looks of your Tiger btw!
Interesting! I quite fancy a go on the tracer 9 GT because I loved the engine in the MT-09. But agree the triumph finish is right up there with the best
@@motobob got the tracer 9 GT for a day when my tracer 7 was getting serviced,the electronic suspension in combination with the quick shifter made it a very fun experience 😅 180 kph and not even noticing it,a very well put together motorcycle to be honest.If you get the chance definitely try it!
Bought a 2018 one of these in red as my first bike after passing. Purchases so far are triumph tank pad Fender extender And scorpion exhaust Can’t really fault the bike Another than I had to adjust the gear lever as it was way to tight initially
Personally, I would have wired that heated clothing lead via a relay, switched with the rear light cable. That way it would switch off with the ignition, and it's a very simple job to do.
Yep I’ve gotta 18 Tiger XCa and love every mile of it. Bought it for off-roading, yet it does take an hour or so to get to the mountain trails. So road performance is essential and delivered with this bike. Gonna try her out on a 300+ mile road trip tomorrow for the holiday. We’ll see, would enjoy more content on this new bike of yours for obvious reasons. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
6:40 The Triumph Tiger 1200 XCa also has the turn signals placed higher up. I was on a riding skills course with a fella who had a 2023 Tiger 1200 and he dropped it during a slow speed U-turn and busted the turn signal. So, the new position is no guarantee. Therefore, I'm not convinced relocating the turn signals to the higher position will work.
Hey MOTOBOB very cool easy explained mods from a non professional (But I Think You've Got A Bit Of Savvy ) can't wait to see more . First thing ive ordered is the indicator reloction . Can't wait fit it , hoping not to break the solder joint🤭
Had mine from 2014, every time l think about trading her in for something new l go for a ride and think,” nah l still love this bike let the shiny new one stay in the showroom”, so much better for my soul and bank balance !
Barkbusters; crash bar sliders will give you protection for crash bars and even more clearance to the tank; front wheel sliders; first aid kit; rest stand enlarger; and that’s it. My protection it’s all paid with a stupid slow moving u turn 🤦🏻♂️
The Quadlock recommending a dampener for phones with optical stabilisation is a right pain as otherwise it's a great setup (I have it for my iPhone XS which has not broken... yet). Puts me off continuing to use it for my next phone as every time I ride I feel like it could be the day it breaks, but as you say the dampener is an EXTRA big chunk of plastic (I've got the wireless charger plate on there already making it bulky). I wish they'd have just built a dampening into the wireless charger.
I’m using a RAM mount and been riding with my iPhone 11 since I bought the bike (Tiger 800 xca) 2 years ago; never had a problem with the cameras of my phone. I even rode with the phone attached on my off road adventures! I guess I’ve been lucky.
I knew you’d get an Adventure bike, I considered a Green XCa too and love this colour option. I’m sure the green 900 was the preferred choice but hard to justify the cost uplift? Tasteful accessories too. Great video Rob
@@1990-t1j it’s a brilliant bike. Much preferred it over the equivalent Japanese bikes. But it just wasn’t suited to my riding at the moment. It’s a perfect city bike, weekend toy, easy commuter, and occasional distance rides. But If you’re slogging on the motorway an adv makes sense.
Hi there. In regards to the exhaust, I have a 2018 plate of the same model as yours. Haven spoken to scorpion they said they didn’t make an exhaust to fit this age. Could you advise how you came about the can and if the older exhaust up to 2016 fits past that date?
Bit of advice please? Looking at getting a Tiger. Seen an XC I like. This is mainly going to be used all year around on the road. Is the XC ok? Thanks in advance
How does the footage look from your rear dash cam? My top box mount moves around on rubber bushes, so I’m assuming the camera will shake around all over the place? 🤔 TIA bud
Well bob welcome too no style ..no cool bikes.. 🤣to the amazing world choice of adv bikes ive had 2 tigers xc in that green and white.. old models mind ...bonneville and street triple were just too impracticle...current vstrom 1050 xt is a ticking my boxes atb ..happy tigering👍
Haha! I think it looks cool still... my tastes must be changing. Agree the V-Strom looks like a good option too - I did research it but found I could get a fully loaded XCa used for the same price as a new more affordable XT. Maybe when there are more on the used market I'll take a look...
@@motobob had a feeling you did. I arranged to look at the bike and drove from Cardiff to look at it and was told it was sold a few hours before I ivived 🙄 The guy I spoke too said a youtuber had beat me to it but no problem as I got one from Blade motorcycles and I'm well happy with it but still got my FJR1300 aswell 🤣
the usb is not waterproof, mad rain in scotland this year and after leaving my bike for 12 hours 5 nights a week. every 2 days it would be flickering and shit. once it dried out it was fine... ( bit like me )
He has the Tiger 800xca. Which one is better? Will depend of what you want the bike for. The 800 is better for highway, the 900 will be better for off-road.
Yeah I got this for about £5k less than the equivalent Tiger 900 with less than a thousand miles on the clock, so that was a big factor for me. Also prefer the smooth even firing order on the motorway. The Tiger 900 is better in a lot of areas (tech, brakes, styling perhaps) but I wanted to stick to a budget.
@@motobob Quite the investment of supply is still the ongoing saga! Having been knocked off my T120 black I’m considering a taller and comfier commute. Xrt is a bit smaller in height and some come with the beak so look alright. I’m 5’11” and found the xca a little tall, or is it simply mind over matter!?!

One of the best features of the Tigers is how comfortable they are, I've a XRX low and out all day on it in summer with no numb bum or back ache.
Couldn't agree more - the first time I jumped on this one I couldn't believe how good the riding position is.
Great vid bubba! I’ve had my 800xca for about a year now. It’s an absolute dream. Would love to see more Tiger centered content! Keep up the great work. Cheers from San Diego
Cheers PQ! At very least it'll appear in some comparison videos with other adventure bikes
I'm in San Diego too....I also own few triumphs, love my tiger 800....
I'm in San Diego ALSO...and I'm getting a Tiger Rally Pro 900 soon.
Much more beautiful than the 900 series!!!!

Time for an upgrade, tiger 900 rally pro on the horizon 😎
The Tiger 800 XCa is looking great with all the mods 👌 Love the al fresco workshop too!
Great to see you have the Swiss Army knife of bikes 👍👍
Couldn't have put it better myself!
Nice one!
That little cubbyhole under the rear luggage plate is dead handy. I store a mini compressor and tyre repair kit there on mine.
Great looking Tiger, right down to the color. Much more capable than your urban cruisers.
Well done!
Man tiger and a trident in the same garage 👍
Where can I buy the indicator relocated kit?
Nice! thanks man! Picking up my Tiger 800 XRX next saturday and these simple mods will really help!
Bought a 2018 one of these in red as my first bike after passing.
Purchases so far are triumph tank pad
Fender extender
And scorpion exhaust
Can’t really fault the bike

Oh yes mate - will add that to the list. Stock horns are always a bit limp...
Nice one Bob!

Hi there. In regards to the exhaust, I have a 2018 plate of the same model as yours. Haven spoken to scorpion they said they didn’t make an exhaust to fit this age.
Could you advise how you came about the can and if the older exhaust up to 2016 fits past that date?
Can you please add some auxiliary lights on this.?
They came as standard!
Any chance you could link me the bobbins you're using? I'm having a heck of a time finding ones that work.

Hey Motobob why an ADV and not a sport touring just curious cause I am up in the air on both?
Yes, leave the baffle out and ride sanely........LOL.....Sal : )
800XCA? Is this an older model? I thought the current range was limited to the 850 sport, the two 900s and the 1200.
Yeah it's the last of the previous gen. It only had 900 miles on it and was about £5k cheaper than the equivalent spec on the Tiger 900.
