TRIUMPH TIGER MARCH 2007

March 1, 2007 9:52 AM AEDT

At the new all rounder's heart is the 1050cc, fuel-injected, three-cylinder engine that's already been so well received in both Sprint ST and Speed Triple guise. Peak power of 115 horsepower is delivered at 9400rpm, with 100Nm of torque at 6250rpm. The bike also has fully adjustable USD forks, and radial brakes.

While the new Tiger, which will retail at $15,990 (plus ORC), shines brightly as Triumph's big ticket release for 2007 (at least in the first half of the year), there are still limited stocks of the 2006 model available - but you'll have to get in fast.

At $15,890 (plus ORC), the 2006 Tiger not only comes

standard with colour matched panniers, but also heated hand grips. That's nearly $2,000 worth of accessories bundled into the package for free. Other features include a 24-litre fuel tank, hand guards and centre stand. Colours for the 955cc-powered triple are Jet Black, Caspian Blue and Aluminium Silver.
