Triumph Tiger description

For your pleasure is my 2012 Tiger Explorer.  It is a blast to ride.  Tons of performance, but comfortable and lots of luggage capacity for long trips.  I purchased it used from the dealer when the bike was one year old.  I am a 54 YO rider who has been riding since I started on dirt bikes at 13.  I do not race or abuse my bikes.  This one has never been “off-road”.  It has been on a couple of dirt roads but only for a total of 10 miles.  I purchased it because it is a great combination of comfort, performance, and safety.  I have taken it on 1000 mile trips and have been very comfortable.  But this is no Gold Wing; it will eat up canyons and back roads with the best of them.   

With the 137 hp three cylinder 1215cc engine, 6 speed gearbox, and shaft drive, you have the power and reliability to go anywhere! Trips are quite comfortable with the Ride-By-Wire throttle and Cruise Control.  With switchable Traction Control and ABS, you can feel confident in whatever environment you find yourself in.

 In addition to the Digital Speedometer and Analog Tachometer, you’ll have information available to you such as Gear Position indicator, 2 trip odometers, Miles Per Gallon (MPG), Miles to Empty, Clock, Temperature and hours ridden; all at the touch of a button from the handgrip! With the large 5.3-gallon gas tank you won’t need to stop very often, but if you do, the Nissin Twin-disc front and Single-disc rear brakes with Switchable Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) will do the job!   

Both the front and rear suspension have a good range of adjustments from sport bike firm to cruiser soft.

I have averaged about 48 mpg.  I don’t buy bikes for fuel economy, but it is a nice side benefit.

It has a 900 watt alternator; the biggest around.  You could run a refrigerator off of this thing.  Heated gear, cell phones, GPS, etc. all no problem.

I have had all servicing done at the Triumph dealer, including the 10K service which included adjusting the valves, synching the throttle bodies, and changing all fluids – brake, clutch, coolant, and oil.

This bike is in excellent condition and ready to ride across country.

This bike is loaded to the max.

2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR - First Ride

Fri, 03 Dec 2021

A truly modern cafe racer Credit: Photos by Kingdom Creative | Videos by Sean Matic In Triumph’s modern classic line it has the Thruxton, a contemporary interpretation of the classic cafe racer that mimics styling from the golden era of when those machines were quite literally raced from cafe to cafe in search of “the ton.” For 2020, the British manufacturer took that machine a step further with the Thruxton RS, sprinkling on top-shelf components to give the “modern classic” modern performance. 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS Review – First Ride Now, for 2022, Triumph has proposed an entirely different view of what a modern “cafe racer” can be. Heavily based on the all-new Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RR delivers performance in a more sport-focused package that Triumph says it built to be the “ultimate sports bike for the road.” 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR The Speed Triple 1200 RR builds upon the RS’s substantial foundation and hones it with a more focused riding position, versatile electronic suspension, and elegantly sporty aesthetics.

Buddy Holly, Ariel Cyclone, 1958

Above is some fantastic home movie footage of Buddy Holly and the Crickets messing around on motorbikes in 1958. The story behind the bikes in the video starts after Buddy Holly, Joe Mauldin and Jerry Allison came back from a successful tour in 1958, flush with cash. The trio decided to spend their rock and roll dollars on brand new motorcycles.

New Triumph joins the family this Friday

Tue, 23 Mar 2010

With the nights drawing out it feels like an end to what has been a very long winter. I’ve been getting the train to work recently and if you’ve used London’s tube network in rush hour then you’ll know what I mean when I say the words ‘inhuman over crowding’. I had a call from the Triumph factory in Hinckley today and the good news is my new staff bike will be ready for collection on Friday.
