Do like I did
Keep and develop the one you have which is great for tight off road technical trails, but add something like this if you decide on driving down to Moab or up to Wyoming.

Possibly once I get current one built (ordered more parts today). Wife unit wants a bike but she wants something more street able so this may be a good middle ground (of course in something her size of 5' nothing!  ;D)

I'm struggling with the tank bag too; my thoughts are you're going to paint the tank, get a molle(sp?)bag and call it done, and that thing will become your new lunchbox.

I'm with them. If you're going to MOLLE the tank up, go that route. That bag that is on there just doesn't flow with how you have everything else set up. Yes I'm looking steps ahead, it's what I do.

That tank bag could be setup as a bug out bag

Follow me on this

Triumph did their homework on this thing

There is a harness that is made for the bike that is attached to the tank, then has four attachment points. The bag simply snaps to these points. In maybe 5 seconds one could (I did) detach the bag, and know what else? It has a shoulder strap, so grab the weapon, sling it and go

Ordered a sheet of a weird chameleon camo pattern in grays to cover the beak and screamin' WHITEtank. It will be all subdued out and I won't have to ruin the factory paint. If I don't like it or want to change later on, I'll peel it off and start anew.

So let's review:

Tank bag: Stays

White paint: Gets covered

Listening to all your advice: Disregarded

I thought the Harley air dam was that Hoover sweeper you had mounted on top of the tank!

On a side note: you know the difference between a Harley & a Hoover? That would be the position of the dirt bag....... ::)

Brought it home, after a couple hour familiarization ride.

It's smooth, handles well, but is not all that powerful. Power sort of builds, although I am limited on the RPM I can use. No more that 6000 RPM for the first 500 miles... Honestly I just start to feel the power starting to come alive in the mid five grand range.

My middle boy rode with me...He is hooked!

While picking it up, they told me they were selling all apparel at 50% off, so I scored a his and her Steve McQueen inspired Triumph leather riding jacket.

I was wearing a bunch of layers underneath for the cold, but turned out I overdressed and it was quite nice outside.

Well, I've had two days and close to 500 miles seat time now. Anyone considering a true dual sport bike, you owe it to yourself to try out a tiger XC. Following Gerry who powered away with his 1100 BMW, and me being limited to just 6,000 RPM due to engine break-in requirements, I was not as fast as he was by any stretch of the imagination. But I was just as sure footed. Carving corners in back woods Kentucky was no problem at all. With somewhat slick road conditions the Tiger handled every thing I threw at it, to include my dragging my boot in a corner a time or two.

The engine is not as powerful as I thought it would be, but again this is a 800cc machine which would have preferred to be spun up a bit higher than four grand, but the roll on is anything but sudden. Actually the DR-650 with about half the horsepower feels stronger rolling on the throttle out of a low speed corner. The DR cannot go fast enough to actually experience a higher speed corner, so that part is all academic. The engine although having praise heaped upon it for it's torgueiness, is not torquey. It is more like the high revving sports machine engine any self respecting dual overhead cam four valve per cylinder of mid displacement engine should be. It has power but it doesn't come on all at once like a diesel truck. Limited to 6,000, I feel a urgency start to build about the time I upshift and lower the RPM.

All in all, an off road bike does not need a ton of power, and the bike easily cruises at 77 MPH while respecting the 6,000 RPM max for now limit. In another couple hundred miles (Tomorrow???) I'll be allowed 7,000, then in a few hundred more, 8,000 and so forth until I reach the bike's 10,000 RPM redline.

I'll get more info on the bike with upcoming rides, well as long as this warmer than normal February weather holds out!

I'm guessing the rpm limit goes hand in hand with some sort of detune that prevents harsh acceleration. I bet she'll wake up after break in.

It's not a problem and pretty handy

Ran around yesterday with my wallet, sunglasses and glock 19 in there. It makes you fish for the key, but that's no real problem, and when I mount the GPS, I think it may interfere with seeing it, but, yea, it's definitely handy.

How far can you go on a tank o' gas?
Well, it's still figuring itself out, one of those computers that constantly learns...
It is advertised to get 74 mpg at 55 mph, constant speed and all that, but That doesn't represent real world. If I had to guess, riding back roads where you shift a lot, I would feel comfortable saying it could get 50 mpg, so with a 5.5 gallon tank, you ought to be able to cruise up 250 miles and still have enough to stretch if the refuel option failed you...

I'm guessing the rpm limit goes hand in hand with some sort of detune that prevents harsh acceleration. I bet she'll wake up after break in.
I was wondering about that...

Triumph controls everything via that computer. Now it doesn't have a rev limiter per se set at 6 grand, but it could easily have some valet like map in there for now. They want it back at 500 miles (Like now) to tighten the chain, check torques, change the oil and filter and do a core dump to maintain a good baseline on their product. Interestingly, they run a special break in oil then at 500 miles, install a pure synthetic.

I ordered three cammo pattern sheets because I can't decide which one I want to use. I think any of them would get the job done, so I thought I'd try out all three.

The Frau is pretty much against me "Red-necking out" this bike, and is insisting I leave it alone!

What me...Leave something alone!!!
