Comes in Sapphire Blue, Graphite (Like the Beemer) and Black…now what is the MSRP and will there be a XC version?

Small Tank for a bike this size.  Maybe they are hoping that the weight might be a selling point but if this bike gets the gas mileage that the Tiger 800XC gets when you ride the bike the way it wants to be ridden, then as far as range….this 1200 will not be able to keep up with the BMW R1200GS.  I predict a bike with this much HP will not get more than 320 KM per tank at best.  At 20 liters this is only 1 liter more than the Tiger 800XC.  Interesting Triumph made this tank so “small”.  Just our opinion once again. BMW 2012 R1200GSA has a 33 liter tank just to compare the two but the GS does indeed have a 20 L tank too.

**Love that Triumph has added a the handlebar instrumentation pack.  This was a HUGE bone of contention for me on our summer trip that the Tiger 800XC does not have handlebar controls and a ridiculous set up to turn the ABS off.  Let’s hope Triumph adds this to the 2013 Tiger 800XC and man would I would be sold.  Notice also on the 1200 they have ambient temperature gauge now too.  Another pet peeve I  had about the Tiger 800XC.**
