Triumph Tiger

...the summer and purchased the Triumph Tiger 955 injected model 2001, the first year they came out, but obviously 3 years old. I got a good deal with only 4500 miles on the clock. That’s gone up now to 7500 miles. The colours that these are produced were in Orange, Green, Black and silver, I have bought the green one Lime green at that. Well done Triumph, It certainly gets you noticed. If there’s any motorbike to stand out on the road, then this would ...
...cant do this on the Triumph (or at least wouldn’t recommend it) The centre of gravity is not a great deal of concern although, I am wobbling a bit more at the very slow speeds (below 5 mph) than that of the BMW, but I still have control of the bike. I would certainly not advise this bike to a learner or newly passed rider, but that’s where the compromises are made. The bike is a tall bike, even for me at a mediocre 5’10’’, sometimes I am on tip toes, ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

...very quickly (this is a Triumph trait - read other Triumph long term feedback)... It is a VERY costly machine to run. My Transalp ran for over 40,000 miles and cost very little to run sweetly... However, sometimes I consider selling the bike and getting something that is more reliable and better built (like my Transalp) but when you ride one and it is running well... after 20 years and over 15 bikes, it's the best bike I've ever ridden... I love ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

...the same engine in the Triumph Daytona, all that's added is a couple of little tweaks here and there and obviously machine make up. It's really strong as far as pulling power goes, with masses of low down grunt for two up work in the traffic. Economy wise it's pretty good when compared to other bigish bikes, in some cases it's better than even smaller ones. The handling is fantastic for a high rider bike making cornering a breeze, If you rode with ...
...kiddy the Triumph Tiger is more than a match for most other big bikes, and has loads of poserbility, and if you're a bit unsure about being in control of such a beasty you can always opt for the smaller engined version which I'm sure will be equally as good. ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

...been serviced by the local Triumph dealer and was in perfect condition. It had colour coded panniers (a set of three) and heated grips already attached. Firstly I am only 5'6" and I have always had large bikes. The Tiger is tall but so well balanced that it doesn't bother me that I can only get half of one foot down. The fuel economy is fantastic. I managed 170 miles for £12. I make that 48mpg. This makes the theoretical maximum fuel range about ...
...have now run until the fuel light comes on at 212 miles, it was still at 48mpg. I didn't have the guts to run much further but I suggest the 250 maximum range is easily reachable if you need to do so. The 955i (Daytona) engine is fantastic providing power and stability whenever it is needed and the wide bars make cornering so easy it is unbelievable. You can chase sports bikes all day and in certain circumstances take the lead. At the end of it ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

...of torque on tap. Triumph do an aftermarket can to make the exhaust note a bit fruitier, but the performance isn't improved by much. On the move the Tiger is great fun as you swing round the bends. It can certainly hustle along. Put a pillion on the back and the fun isn't reduced, just shared. There is plenty of space for a pillion, but the rack can be awkward for gloved hands. All in all its a great bike. Often found with heated grips and recent ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

Since September 2007 I have owned a Lucifer Orange Tiger 955i. Since that time I have learnt so much about this bike, Yes it is a bit top heavy but so much fun in the twisties and responds to the throttle very well. What I like most about it is the way a tall person can ride in comfort and don't feel like a praying Mantis having knees under onces chin. I would not recommend inexperienced shorter person to take this bike on as on a concave road you will soon touch the pavement as your feet will not reach the ground. ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

...The £620 quoted by a Triumph dealer for the 12k service is reasonable when you consider the time involved, but as an engineer I felt quite confident about managing the affair - and it brought us closer! Apart from the service cost (local non-Triumph garages will do the same for around £400), I've always found the Triumph dealers friendly and helpful. Always fit bike drop protection; I haven't dropped a bike for 15 years and this one's been dropped ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

This bike has amzing looks, speed and includes great features! These include: performance- this bike is very fast and burns off most competition. It is very agile and never needs reparing. Fuel economy- This bike is cheap to run and consumes next to no fuel. My dad has this bike and it is amazing! I went on the back and what a ride, you are so high up. My father now dominates the road on his motorcycle and I do not see how he can not! This bike looks ...

Review of Triumph Tiger

Had my Tiger 955i for 5 years now and it has been very reliable, gives about 50mpg and is excellent in all weathers. The engine pulls from the word go, the handling is awesome and the bike is comfortable enough to have done 850 miles in one go from the south of France to Hampshire in 14.5 hours without discomfort. This bike is used for commuting, fun, shopping and touring in all weathers. Used with Pirelli Dragon MTR23/24 tyres the bike sticks ...
