Triumph Tiger description

2013 TRIUMPH TIGER EXPLORER, Triumph has tossed its hat into the high-performance adventure motorcycle market with the new 2013 Tiger Explorer. Newly designed from the ground up to challenge any other dual-purpose motorcycle, the Explorer features an all new 1215cc three-cylinder, double overhead camshaft engine that provides plenty of torque for rugged off-road riding and exceptionally smooth power for the highways. This powerful 12-valve, liquid-cooled engine develops 135 bhp at 9,300 rpm and 89 ft.lbs. of torque at 6,400 rpm. All of that power is transferred to the cast aluminum alloy 17-inch rear wheel through a six-speed gearbox and a low-maintenance shaft drive. A 19-inch cast aluminum alloy front wheel provides plenty of ground clearance and agility. Front and rear disc brakes with switchable ABS, traction control and electronic cruise control are all standard equipment. A rugged steel frame and over seven inches of wheel travel handle even the roughest trails. Adjustable Kayaba front and rear suspension systems and an adjustable seat provide optimal comfort and control. The handlebar and windshield are also adjustable. A new drive-by-wire electronic throttle system controls engine speed. A 5.3 gallon capacity gas tank gives plenty of range. A high-capacity 950 watt generator and DC socket provides plenty of power for multiple electronic accessories and electrically heated clothing. All new handlebar-controlled instrumentation features a large digital display for speed, an analog tachometer, gear indicator, fuel consumption readout, air temperature indication and more. The Tiger Explorer has been designed to go 10,000 miles between servicing, ideal for long distance adventures.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

New Triumph Touring Bike Spied!

Fri, 03 Dec 2010

The lucrative touring segment will soon get a jolt when Triumph enters the market with a flourish. Spy photos from England’s Motor Cycle News show what looks to be a replacement for the Trophy touring model that bit the dust back in 2003. The bike is much larger than Triumph’s Sprint GT sport-tourer, promising a bigger, more powerful three-cylinder engine.
