A face only a BMW GSA owner could love... then there's the Triumph Tiger 800 sport.

All I see is a clypeus.

Yeah, as much as I love the Yam triple engine... and hated the single headlight vs being more symetrical... yeow...

For middle weight I'd go w/F900XR or that Triumph is looking nice.

 

[the Ferret]

The Triumph does look nice. I think Donk already has one on order.

@TPadden - Thanks, Tom. I started to type "I still think it looks ugly." but then stopped. You broke the ice for me.

I still think the 2025 Tracer is ugly. Probably a great bike, but ugly.

They dropped the GT+ for North America for 2025 it looks like. You can buy the Tracer 9 with an automatic transmission though.

To each his own and while I know that these new-gen bikes have superb performance, quite honestly I think that they are all ugly with their angular shapes, bug-like visages and goofy looking "beaks" sticking out the front.

Oh well - my wallet thanks me.

I think he just bought the Guzzi Mandello ...

He did, and he also has a deposit on a Triumph 800 sport. The man, can't have just one motorcycle you know

There's a lot of that going around, you know.

@Uncle Phil - In your case, wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy different coloured body panels since you have 4? 5? 6? of the same bike?

He can mix colors, too, like VW did:

Why I can't understand that ...

Nope - you can buy a complete bike for what half the price of all the body panels would be.
Besides I have 3 different colors to chose from now.

 

[ScottST]

Oh boy……..

 

[RedMotion]

The 2025 Tracer 9 looks like the quickshifter and heated grips are optional...correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice Fleet!

I'm selling 3 bikes to get 2. Sold my NC750X, MT-10SP and Super Tenere to end with a Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello and the new Tiger 800 Sport. Got the Mandello last week, the Tiger is supposed to happen sometime around March. I want to make sure I'm supporting the sport touring part of the market. I have wanted a Guzzi since the '78 LeMans and finally got my courage up.

Considering what you can buy some great used bikes for everyone should have a spare bike or 2. If you look at FB marketplace or Craigslist there are a lot of nice bikes can be had for $2000-3000.
