Triumphs Tiger has been showing the way since it was first launched more than ten years ago and has proved enormously popular with our continental cousins. Now this latest revised version with a detuned 955 engine is set to win new converts and take sales away from the growing numbers of big Japanese trailies. For the Tiger, Triumph have softened the tune of their superb water cooled triple engine which now pumps out 104 BHP; not bad for a trail bike. More importantly the engine now makes 72 ft lbs of torque at only 6200 RPM. The result is a hugely tractable engine with lots of useable urge at real life speeds. Combine this with a dry weight of only 215Kg and a light, east steering geometry and you have a recipe for almost unlimited fun in a very practical package. The 24 litre fuel tank gives a whopping range between fuel stops and that trendy nose fairing does an admirable job of keeping the rider comfortable and dry.
