Staff bikes: Triumph Tiger 800 - Tiger’s stripes well earned

Ped Baker, 23 December 2011 11:00

Riding a motorcycle from Peterborough to Brussels and back in a day in November is no picnic. The 600 miles aren’t the issue, but being cold is. Even with good riding kit, draughts start to creep in and on a long trip, once you’re cold, you’re cold for a long time. To prepare the Tiger I wired in a connector ...

Cologne-based JvB are kings in the art of creating specials with attitude, and this is their latest creation - the JvB Brit Bob.

Chugging between hedgerows, wind in your face, twin-cylinder engine thudding beneath you... it's easy to see why so many riders love the idea of cruisers. The looks, character and torque make the bikes appealing even to those of us still in love with sportier bikes. But many are put off bymassive engines making low power and high prices. But these ...

First Triumph Tiger 800 Supermoto

MCN, 03 October 2011 14:31

Straight bars, 17in wheels, upside down forks, fox-eye headlights and an 800cc inline triple - could this be a secret, pre-production Triumph Street Triple 800? We wish. In fact this isn't a big-bore version of the 675cc Street Triple - one of the finest roadsters you can buy - but it could be the next best thing: a Triumph Tiger ...

Staff bikes: Triumph Tiger 800 - Tiger hits Spain

Ped Baker, 07 September 2011 12:31

After being enthralled by the round-the-world tales in our free Adventure supplement a couple of weeks ago I was inspired to do something similar on the Tiger 800. The journey needed to be epic and daring, the destination exotic and unusual. One night over dinner all options were examined with my partner and pillion, Nicola. Would it be the Road ...

Hooligan Triumph Street Triple R café racer special

Michael Neeves, 26 August 2011 12:31

This Street Triple R is the latest in the line of brilliantly-executed specials created by Triumph dealer Jack Lilley. Designed to mimic the café racer style, it actually looks uncannily like any number of RD350LC and YPVS specials that terrorised the streets in a haze of two-stroke smoke back in the 80s. That bellypan, those low LSL clip-ons and the ...

In our latest video buying guide we look at the Triumph Daytona 675. The 675 put the Hinckley firm back on the shortlist of many UK sports motorcycle riders, who hadn't seen the previous middleweight Daytonas as an alternative to the Japanese 600s.

Ped Baker, 15 June 2011 12:37

Last weekend I fitted an eSystem chain oiling system to my long term Triumph Tiger 800. Unlike traditional vacuum valve operated oilers, Scottoiler’s eSystem uses a small electric pump to dispense measured droplets of oil to the chain Pic 1a It’s a complex piece of kit that uses a dashboard, temperature sensor and accelerometer to control flow.

Staff bikes: Triumph Tiger 800 - The first month

Ped Baker, 03 June 2011 16:12

I've now had the Tiger 800 for a month and when it's not being thrashed on a group test or chasing Ross Noble across the UK, I've been riding it on my 30 mile commute every day. Here's what I've discovered so far… The engine is a gemThere's not much more that can be said about Triumph's triple cylinder engine. ...
