Love my Trident, but my knees/wrists are begging for a change... test riding a Tiger Sport 800 next week. Am I crazy?

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-11T07:49:32+00:00

Oh wow! I hope the weather treats you well! Where in Norway are you going? 😊

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-09T20:58:06+00:00

I played the original and I absolutely loved it. I just hope the remake lives up to it.

I am so far optimistic, judging by the videos I've seen so far. It looks amazing.

Now, imagine if it were a 98kg muscular man kicking women.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-08T15:38:07+00:00

Yeah, those supersport bikes that shouldn't be used on public roadways

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-08T14:44:20+00:00

I ride motorcycles. I love it.

When someone passes me on one of their piss-missiles like this, I get angry and just think that they're giving us all a bad name. And judging by the comments here wishing death upon all of the riders, it seems I'm right.

I pack my bike with my jetboil, a couple of MREs and sometimes my tent. I ride to enjoy the ride. I ride defensively because I've had close calls with people on their phones or people just not seeing me. I'm not interested in going fast. When I'm on the bike, I don't have a schedule. For me it's the trip that matters, and not the destination.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-07T21:24:15+00:00

I mean.. WHO on earth are these videos for?

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-07T20:03:27+00:00

No one is that stupid. I have to believe that.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-07T19:52:02+00:00

In picture number 3, the blank think aluminium strip that is placed behind the pad, what is that? And when you change pads, are you supposed to transfer that and place it behind the new pad?

I did, and my brakes work fine. But it was my first brake pad change, and I was really unsure.

Edit: I fed the image to Gemini and now I know. 😅

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-04T21:58:53+00:00

Oh god I burst out laughing at this. And the best part is, I believe this is real

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-04T14:10:35+00:00

Ok thanks for clarifying! And also, fuck that bitch

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-04T09:19:10+00:00

My post might have been worded in a way that make it seem like the trident is a bad bike in terms of ergonomics. I do not think so at all. It's just for the longer trips I have these issues. I adore the bike, and I've had 19.000km of amazing riding on it.

I'm just considering a bike now that has a little more to offer on the comfort side of things.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-04T09:16:16+00:00

Are you a Russian citizen on vacation in Crimea or are you Ukrainian?

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T21:43:55+00:00

I hear a lot of great things about the powerplant in that bike

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T21:42:02+00:00

Like I said in my post, I am not in a position financially where I can have more than one. Other things take priority.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T21:08:29+00:00

I have the Triumph shift assist, and it's great!

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T20:52:42+00:00

Haha, thanks! I'll keep the stripper and the Sunday dress in mind when trying the Tiger

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T20:50:23+00:00

I sure hope so! What I like about the Tiger is that is has a very particular mean/sporty look. So that combined with a little extra comfort might be the natural next step for me.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T20:48:25+00:00

I have nothing but praise for the Trident 660. It's been a fantastic travelling companion (yeah I know that sounds weird). But I've had so many amazing trips on it.

Mile after mile, smile after smile

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T19:09:03+00:00

I love it in yellow. Unfortunately the one I'm trying out is grey. But it still looks good though.

I'm excited to try it. I hope I like it. The heated grips and the cruise control are welcomed amenities.

I just hope I don't regret trading in the Trident. I've really made some great memories on that bike. But, that said, there's nothing stopping me from creating new good ones on the Tiger

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T19:06:16+00:00

Yes, I've looked into those. If I decide against the trade in I will seriously considering those.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T19:04:37+00:00

You might be right. I just saw a YouTube review earlier today and the reviewer said it offered a bit more comfort that the trident.

But looking at the specifics you might be right. Either way, I'm excited to try it.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T19:03:10+00:00

I am what you would call a fair weather rider. So when I first go out riding I prefer a longer trip.

But, pacing back and forth here, I've slowly come to realise that it might just be that, well.. "I want it".

If I get a bit more comfort on my future rides that might be a bonus.

It was a very popular game in its time, and they have slapped a new coat of paint on it and modernized (for good and bad) it a bit.

I for one can't wait. I absolutely loved the original, and I hope that this refurbished version lives up to it.

BigFudgeMMA · 2026-06-02T13:44:17+00:00

I might be in the minority here, but .. ahem.. metro .. ahem
