2009 Triumph Tiger
Triumph makes sure that their most versatile model, the Tiger remains a strong player on the market and the presence of a Special Edition model in their lineup is just what the doctor recommended for riders in search of an adventure-sport model. The bike is based on the Tiger ABS, but distinguishes thanks to a Matt Graphite and Matt Black color scheme as well as with a pair of color-matched sidebags, just like the 2009 Sprint ST gets. A first glance at the standard 2009 Triumph Tiger is enough to make you think that the bike is totally new, but what actually sets it apart from the previous model year are the attractive new color schemes and the touring upgrades that the Brits simply had to have for their wild model.

Ever since the Tiger got the 1050cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline three-cylinder engine, engineers knew that there would be no more work to be done at this specific model for a pretty long time. No wonder, as the motor has sporty velleities and the chassis is perfect for making them stand out.
The aluminum beam perimeter frame and aluminum alloy twin-sided braced swingarm both significantly contribute at reducing the bike’s overall weight while being designed to deal with various types of terrains. So, with a 23.2 degree/87.7mm rake and trail, the Triumph Tiger is the kind of bike that people buy knowing that it will be ridden on the tarmac, but there is a slight possibility to divert off road from time to time. Offering an upright riding position is an advantage through city traffic and the bike looks aggressive too, but the crucial stuff about it consists in an adaptable suspension package. Featuring fully adjustable 43mm upside down forks and rear monoshock with only adjustable preload and rebound damping, the off-road terrain doesn’t look that tempting. Also, that thought is enhanced by the presence of 17-inch ZR wheels and, of course, the constant fear of scratching your new bike just because of you. Those who need time to think before rerouting can put the stud of horsepower to a hault by simply applying the also sportsbike-like brakes, the twin 320mm floating discs, four piston radial calipers front and single 255mm disc with two piston caliper at the rear. ABS is available as an option while on the SE model it is standard equipment.The bike might seem like a totally new addition, but as we all know it, the Tiger has long been part of the motorcycle kingdom so a short briefing might just show how the species evolved.
It is clear to everyone that the Triumph Tiger excels at the design chapter so we really have to give the bike credit for that. This is one serious piece of motorcycle with an 83.1 inches overall length and a height of 52.0 inches and still, it looks aggressive. That’s a rare thing in this category while the build quality and fines are simply incomparable.Like a veritable sport-touring motorcycle, the Tiger features a half fairing and a decently-sized windscreen. Just above the air intakes that look like two nostrils lay the sporty looking headlights. Unlike sports bikes, the Tiger has the mirrors mounted on the handlebars and the screen is just high enough to provide the proper wind protection needed without obstructing the view ahead, especially in crowded traffic situations. The gas tank is positioned well down into the aluminum beam frame and still manages to stand out in between the side fairing which widens the bike seriously. Most likely, the seat which is positioned 32.8 inches from the ground is the best of this Triumph as it brings adventure to every average sized rider. Made of one piece and foamy, the seat is incomparable to Multistrada’s so the passenger will be satisfied too.All body elements blend perfectly in one with the other creating a compact and massive looking motorcycle. Even the engine and transmission actually look like being drawn there. The bike rolls on a pair of 17-inch wheels, 120/70 – front and 180/55 rear – that are positioned 59.4 inches one from the other so that enhances the sporty look. So do the 43mm forks and the twin-sided swingarm. Triumph’s standard Tiger features a range of three colors, Jet Black, Blazing Orange, Fusion White and the bike can even get color-matched panniers offering a combined carrying capacity of 44 litres. We haven’t yet got the chance to ride Triumph’s most distinguishable model so until then, we’ll have to comply with an earlier one.
