Triumph Tiger description

This beautiful vintage bike was rebuilt from the ground up by myself and my father in the early nineties. When we rebuilt it we replaced the points with a Boyer Bransden electronic ignition. I have a workshop manual, owners manual and miscellaneous spare parts included in this sale. This was my primary bike that I rode and enjoyed for almost 10 years. When I stopped riding it and stored it in 1998, it was still running, but I had moved on to a larger bike.

The bike has approximately 4,000 miles since I had the engine rebuilt by 6th Street Specials in New York, NY. Right before I put it in storage, I resealed the gas tank due to a small leak, but no gas has been in the tank since it's been stored - inside garage storage. It's currently missing a battery and tachometer cable.

Just prior to creating this listing I checked, and the engine is free and turns over.

100% transparency, I have not run the bike since it was stored. There is a small crack in the seat pan that needs to be welded. The frame number and engine numbers are mismatched which is how I purchased it from the previous owner in the early nineties. Bike is not completely original - was rebuilt with the intention of riding so the front fender and seat cover are aftermarket. This bike will need some work before it's street ready because it's been sitting for nearly 20 years... I imagine seals, gaskets and other items that would need to be replaced on any vehicle that's been in storage this long.

Due to the age of the bike there is no title, but I do have the last transferable registration from NY state. Currently I have the bike in NC.

Bike is sold as is. Minimum $1500 deposit must be sent within 3 days of end of auction. Buyer must arrange delivery; however, seller will assist in any way reasonable.

2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 First Look

Tue, 05 Oct 2021

Claims class-leading power and maintenance costs After giving us a glimpse of a pre-production prototype in August, Triumph officially revealed its new Tiger Sport 660. Sharing the same platform as the Trident 660 roadster, the 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is a middleweight “adventure sports” model, claiming class-leading power and low cost of ownership. By “adventure sports”, of course, we’re talking about sport-touring models that are styled after true ADVs rather than sportbikes.

AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Riders Gearing Up For Road America

Thu, 29 May 2014

The AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class makes its much-anticipated return to Road America this weekend. The four-mile Wisconsin circuit is a particularly exciting place to watch the middleweight bikes because its long straights and braking zones make passing and lead changes commonplace. More than just a test of man and machine, the races often develop into a strategic battle leading up to the all-important last lap and run up the hill to the checkered flag.

French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.
