| ![]() Congratulations! Always happy to see a biker get his ride. Though I have not ridden this newer 2018 model I ve been told its quite an upgrade over the previous Gen model. Hoping you have a great time with this. |

![]() Can't anything be done about the placement of the front number plate? It spoils the show. Wishing you a long and happy married life with her ![]() Cheers Last edited by Cyborg : 18th May 2018 at 20:58. | |

I think it is lighter than the earlier models? If yes, that should also work in it's favour. I want this Tiger for sure.. http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/tr...ger-tramontana Have Fun!! Hadn't seen a Matte Black one. It's lovely. Cheers! | |

| ![]() I test drove the 800 XCX today. It's lovely to ride. But that Matt black (saw an XRX matte black) looks stunning!! |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks for the wishes guys. Will try and post a detailed review later. It's not any slimmer than the older model. It's just the camera angle. But yes, the exhaust is slimmer and growls, rather than whistle like the older tiger !! |

| ![]() Any updates on your ownership experience please? I test drove the 800 XRX recently and the windscreen has a distinct rattle. I believe a lot of the new 800s have this issue - not sure if they've found a resolution for this yet. |

| ![]() What is the true on road price of a Tiger 1200 XCA in India? I can get a 2018 XCA in USA for 21,750$ being the highest price point in the spectrum to all the down to 15,850$ plus taxes (depending upon what state you live) These are brand new unregistered XCA.

I think the only model they retail here in 1200 is the XCX. In Mumbai that retails on road with all taxes at about 21.5 lakh. | |

| ![]() Congrats on your new Tiger. Its really a bike to own if you want to travel the length and breadth of Our COUNTRY. One of my friend picked up the XCX last Sunday and I must say the bike is very impressive. Take care and ride more but be safe. |

| ![]() Got my 800 XRX in matte black earlier today. Love it and can't wait to put some miles on her. Broke my heart to trade in my 765 triple S though. That bike truly has character. Some images from earlier today. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Got my expedition touring kit installed on the Tiger. The black kit on black looks really good. Better than the silver on other colours I feel. ![]() |
