Took my Tiger in for it's 1st service today, doesn't seem like I've had it a year, but I have.

To come home on, and to, quote "use some of that fuel", I have the dealers own personal Street Tripple R.... Arrow can, stubby levers, rear hangers removed, braided brakes etc etc.

It look blooming awesome.

And it's totally bonkers! The roar from 4k revs is hypnotic and addictive at the same time, the grip, cornering and it feels comfortable too. Triumph have got it right with this bike for sure.

Never been one for street bikes, but this one is cracking.




I know, I'll get some later, need to go out for lunch!

Nice to try other bikes, I agree with you, and a triple has soul!!!! I look forward to trying the new MT 09 in I think September, should be fun.

(Now sold on, sob) 2011 Blue XT660X with gold wheels, was 26,500 km.
Engine mods: K&N Stage 1 filter, DNA Stage 2 filter, snorkel removed, Kev fuel mod fitted.
Plus: smoked Puig screen, Yam aluminium sump guard, Yamaha / Acerbis handguards, Givi Trekker aluminium side cases, Leo Vince X3 cans plus Kev front fork mod and Fender Xtender. Just fitted Michelin Road Pilot 3 tyres.

SOLD the XTX for a Super Ten 1200. And just bought a Raptor 700 so staying on here for some tips....

I was also going to mention that the Yamaha MT 09 but Simon already has. It seems tha it will be a bike to go for - being Yamaha and a triple - lots of good write ups already - but sadly not out until Sep. Worth a test ride - but doubt if I will get rid of my single MT -03 though

I took a go on a standard street triple but in the pouring rain and you could just feel that it was a well setup bike, brothers bought one in Canada and loves it but not Canada for not having corners!!!
