Triumph Tiger description

1972 Triumph TR6R Tiger. Matching numbers on frame and engine. This was owned by a retired 80 year old gentleman who was retired and living on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was part of his collection of vintage motorcycles and cars. I was too late to buy the BSA's and Norton's he had for sale but I was able to find this Triumph tucked way back in his barn behind and old Ford truck. I had brought with me a new battery and fresh gas and after a few kicks it started right up. Since I brought it home I have cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor, cleaned the inside of the gas tank with Muric acid so it is now down to bare metal and looks like new again, replaced fuel lines, added fuel filters, changed oil, cleaned points, changed fork oil, tuned timing, and polished paint. I also installed a brand new exhaust from headers down (I still have original) and had newer tires mounted. I don't know if this bike has ever been restored or if this is all original condition. Whatever the case, it looks great! No choke on this bike (doesn't need one), and no directionals. Owner said it never had directionals and now doesn't require them due to its age. These TR6R Tigers are preferred by many over the same year Bonneville's due to the simplicity of a single carb and very similar performance numbers. The bike is ready for a new owner. Comes with clean and clear MA title signed over by the older gentleman with no date. Ready for new owner to sign and bring to their states registry. Good luck bidding.

2014 Triumph America Horizon Revealed in CARB Documentation

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

New documents released by the California Air Resources Board reveal the existence of a new model from Triumph to be called the America Horizon for the 2014 model year. As its name implies, the 2014 Triumph America Horizon will likely be based on the existing Triumph America (the 2012 America is pictured above with touring accessories as an illustration.) The CARB documents confirm it will use the same 865cc parallel-Twin engine as the America as well as the Bonneville, Scrambler, Thruxton and the Speedmaster. We predict a claimed output of 60hp at 6800rpm and 53 ft-lb.

Michelin Unveils New Tire for Dual Sport Motorcycles

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

More than half of the new BMW R 1200 GSs that roll off the assembly line in 2013 will be fitted with Michelin’s new big trail tire, the Anakee III. BMW and Michelin worked together to co-develop the dual-sport tire, which is designed to deliver all the safety and off road capability big trail motorcycle users demand. The Anakee III will also be available as a replacement option for other leading dual sport bikes, like the Suzuki V-Strom, Kawasaki KLR, Triumph Tiger and Yamaha Super Tenere.

Watch: 2011 Speed Triple Dyno run

Tue, 05 Apr 2011

With the full factory fitted arrow system and map fitted it was time to give the Speed a run on a Dyno to see where the power is at. Over two runs the best results were as follows; Power at the crank : 130bhp & 75 ft.lbs torque Power at the gearbox : 124bhp & 72 ft.lbs torque Power at the wheel : 119bhp & 69 ft.lbs torque The bike has covered 4200 miles and is due its first proper service at 6000 so you would expect to see a reduction in power. Triumph claim on a brand new bike the Speed Triple at best puts out 135bhp and 82 ft.lbs torque at the crank with the cans fitted, effectively mine has lost 5bhp and 7ft.lbs of torque.
