Triumph Tiger Sport 660 (2022 - on) Review

Year: 2024

Very competent and comfy bike, certainly quick enough. Sold after a while as didn’t quite have that certain quality that makes you look back over your shoulder as you walk away from it. I’d certainly recommend it though and I had many very positive comments from other riders which suggests it looks better in the flesh than in photos.

Buying experience: Great, Chester Triumph excellent, Brandon very knowledgable and helpful.

Year: 2022

A very good overall bike with a lot of extras

Version: Blue (Why pay more?)

Year: 2023

Annual servicing cost: £90

Light, flicks almost as well as Aprillia Shiver, massively easier than t120 bonnie, but slightly squirmy when pushed with my 90kgs onboard. Don’t tour, but fun on both commute, shop runs and longer day runs. Sounds not great, but extending up the range now…..and it does improve.

Buying experience: Pretty good at bulldog Wokingham, decent px on priors twice, free labour on first service.

Year: 2022

Annual servicing cost: £100

Light, agile, confidence inspiring and fast enough all-rounder. Perfect for around town and commuting. Priced right with long maintenance intervals.3 months and 5k miles in, I have a few minor quibbles. No cruise control, even as an option, is unfortunate. Short gearing. While that's fine for around town, it's buzzy cruising for extended periods at California hwy speeds (80/85 mph is typical). Swapping the sprocket out is helpful, but at the cost of around town zip.Overall, loving the bike and no regrets. A couple minor changes and this bike would be perfection.

Buying experience: Dealer was great. Nice discount on the last '22 in stock (purchased early spring '23).

Year: 2022

USB charger an extra Seat loose at front due to wrong rubbers fitted (all bikes). Not as per fische.

Buying experience: Privately after dealer did not get back to me on a tade in.

Year: 2022

The best: the engine and the handling and the ergonomics The worst: an omission of cruise control

Buying experience: Youles Blackburn took care of things in a professional manner.

Year: 2023

Annual servicing cost: £100

My biking adventure started in June 2022 and after completing my CBT I decided that I needed a few months riding experience before progressing to getting my A License. Therefore I bought myself a Yamaha XSR 125, this proved an excellent intro into riding. I passed my 'full-fat' A license just before Christmas (first time) and based on the multiple rave reviews for the Tiger 660 sport it seemed like the natural bike to get. I've clocked 800 miles on it (in just over a fortnight) and it's been through its first service so now seems like a good time to offer my thoughts. I looked at the Tracer 7 GT, BMW 850 GS/F900XR and Honda NC750 before making the choice to go for the Triumph. In my humble opinion the Triumph has so much more to it than the other bikes I looked at/test rode. It feels eager, very quick and effortless to ride and handle, it somehow feels bigger, more capable and much more comfortable, whilst being thrilling when the mood takes you. So far, most of the riding I have done has been atrocious weather conditions - I'm never buying a new bike in January again - but the bike has performed amazingly, safe, rapid and comfortable - bring on the spring, with brighter days and hopefully less wind and rain. I went for the bike in grey - I think it looks bloody handsome and much more contemporary than the bikes it would naturally be compared with. Negatives, not many, I can already see the benefit cruise control would bring, given it's amazing cruising ability and it would be nice if the instrument navigation controls were backlit - a bike with so much quality this seems like a bit of miss to me, but otherwise I am overwhelmingly happy with this bike and confident I won't be replacing for several years. I'm 5'6", but well built, with the lower comfort seat I'm managing the bike without any difficulty - I should imagine most people will be able to find a comfortable riding position.

Buying experience: Pure Triumph, Woburn - brilliant service and held on to the bike for me, after some unexpected delays in getting through my test. Not much wriggle room on the price but did offer a reasonable trade-in for my 125 and discounted optional extras.

This bike is just so versatile, made for the open road.

Buying experience: Dealer bought. Paid £8750.

Year: 2022

Fantastic bike!I traded in Ducati Multistrada 950 for Tiger. Tiger is just as comfortable, more fun, more exciting.Of course the MS has more power, but I couldn't use it. The Tiger always has enough to thrill, and you can wind it out. It is sooo fun and visceral and good handling and easy to ride and we'll sorted out. I'm smitten.

Buying experience: Excellent. Purchased from Motorcycles of Dulles, Virginia, US. Took nine test rides before deciding.

Year: 2022

Annual servicing cost: £370

Bought this for my first bike and it definitely doesn't disappoint! I got the quickshifter, the frame sliders and the heated grips all of which work very well. (Well I haven't tried the frame sliders yet haha)

Year: 2022

Bike rides OK, the rev limiter cuts in to early, had it since June done Scotland on it and one of the days was 400 mile no problem with comfort now the seat has beded in Also done northern spain potes and into Portugal it averaged 60 mpg over the 1700 mile trip a bad point I have noticed the rear indicator lens has misted up but I'll get that sorted on warranty

Buying experience: Dealer purchase I bought it in February but didn't get it till June due to backlogs" I went for grey,"I paid 8300 and with extras 9100 in the waiting time before I got the bike the price had gone up but I paid the original price they through in the hand gaurds and tank protector

Year: 2022

Little said about lights. I didn’t realize it uses one of the two lights for low beam, one for high. Always thought the headlight burned out look was goofy. That said, low beam is excellent riding illumination and high is dazzling on an open road. I tend to ride in daytime with high beams illuminated for better visibility anyway. That is what I have to add to all the raving reviews.

Buying experience: Panniers. Yes!

Year: 2022

Annual servicing cost: £200

But not all of it is quality. For example the foot kick plates look cheap. Triumph's manual for the bike say clean and adjust the chain every 200 miles. I have oiled the chain once and I am now up to 2,000 miles. Still waiting for it to actually need adjusting. lol Also the cleaning part say's don't do that you will end up with spots on everything evolved in cleaning the bike. Why it doesn't say don't take it out in the rain I don't know! lol

Buying experience: Dealer bought, I paid full price but with the Triumph add on's Bevan's Cardiff knocked 10% to %20 off.

Year: 2022

Easy to ride , adequate power delivery, clutch very easy to use( so no need for quick shifter) . Tips in well and fast steering. Nice bike

Buying experience: From dealer, I’ve used for years excellent

Year: 2022

Puts a huge grin on your face, fast steering handles beautifully The motor is a peach.

Buying experience: First rate Triumph West London.

Year: 2022

It's so light handles exceptionally well like most Triumphs. Pulls well in any gear Cleanly from 30mph in 6th. It's a tall street triple with optional hard luggage we all wanted 10 years ago thanks Triumph.

Buying experience: Bought from Triumph Aberdeen they got me one quickly as i wasn't worried about colour. Buying experience was very good with extra's panniers heated grips rack top box hand guards tank pad £10280 i think. Cheers to the boys at Triumph Aberdeen

Year: 2022

The bike is a peach of a ride.I particularly like the engine,it reminds me of a Street I owned some years ago,like has been suggested it’s the Street I always wanted. The tyres are very confidence inspiring. The screen is noisy in any position and I’m not tall! It seems I will have to wait for the after-market to offer a cure for that. Same goes for the seat height, Much too tall,a real challenge to mount especially with the very good panniers in place.

Buying experience: Bought from Youles Blackburn.First class experience.Paid list as I was fortunate to get one so soon.
