TRIUMPH 1050 SPORTIn recent years Triumph?s Tiger range has been dominated by it?s dual sport bikes. The 1050 Sport has kind of got lost in the wood work. Around 2016 the 1050 got a makeover. The motor got upgraded with over 100 changes. It is fair to say that it really is a new motor. The 1050 Triple churns out 126 hp @7000 rpm and 78,1 Ft Lbs of torque @ 9475. These figures almost suggest a peaky motor, given that the peak torque is made at higher revs than the horsepower.On the road this is not the case at all. Triumph have endowed the 1050 with slightly lower gearing, and the combination of gearing and power curves create a motor that is creamy smooth and willing, right through the rev range. It will toddle along at 70 kph in top gear without complaint, yet howl to redline with gay abandonThe tar Tiger looks sweet, to my eye anyway. Svelte body work creates a waspish image, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. It has an almost mega motard look, with suspension that is 20mm longer at both ends compared to the Speed Triple. This look is emphasised by hand guards on wide bars that would not be out of place on a dual sport bike. They are actually really practical, as they keep winter chill off your handFIVE REASONS WHY A TEAMMOTO APPROVED USED BIKE IS ABETTER BIKE!***** Up to 3 Year Warranty ***** 2 Day Free Exchange ***** 49 Point Mechanical Inspection ***** Competitive Finance and Insurance packages available ***** Australia Wide Freight?.
