My 2015 tiger 800 xcx was built in Thailand.
Triumph dealer gave me an Union Jack coffee mug when I bought it!
Where was the mug made ?

I have had my 2018 MT10 just over a year now so here's my two bobs worth...
I'll start with the negatives.
100 mile tank range is very poor and probably my biggest gripe.
To think my 2007 R1 would regularly do 130 miles on the same sized tank just isn't right!
The seat is uncomfortable.I have changed for a comfort seat.
Getting the seat on and off is a real PITA.Very strange design.
Pegs are lows so if you track day you will need rear sets.
Suspension is ok after setting up but if your a heavyweight like me your gunna need stronger springs.
I have changed out the shock and will be getting new springs for the front soon.
People say the brakes are crap but I find them ok.
Now the positives.
Engine.If this doesn't rock your boat then maybe its time to get out the water...
Comfort.Low pegs mean plenty of leg room, even for me at 6 foot 2.riding position is fine, and there seems very little wind noise or buffeting for an unfaired bike.
It's very wheelie prone...
Handling and ride feel like a 600 to me, very enjoyable.
Overall i would say I think it's brilliant.
I don't know anything about the competition but have to say this bike makes me smile every time I ride it.
Completely bonkers!
Cheers.

Lovely bike!
How do you rate the panniers?
Are they hard or soft, waterproof,stable?
How do they attach?
Cheers.
