How could possibly a crashed motorcycle reveal to have benefited of excellent stopping power if it ended up pretty much redesigned by another traffic participant? Well, the whole point is that the rider of this Triumph Tiger did react in time to prevent a crash and the bike did performed just as supposed in such cases, but the car driver coming from behind either reacted too late or, just as happens in most cases, the vehicle’s brakes had simply too much weight to stop in the respective critic distance and boom…the rider gets tossed around by the force of the impact and messes up the mirrors on his way over the bike, but let’s hope he’s safe and sound.
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.
While the color schemes as well as the accessories are for you to decide, what they don’t offer the possibility to decide for is the 1050cc three-cylinder engine producing 113bhp at 9,400rpm and 100Nm at 6,250rpm, as that would actually be the main reason why people buy the bike. Also, the Triumph Tiger features sports suspensions and rubber as well as Nissin brakes, making it an adequate sport-touring bike rather than the dual-purpose one that first made an entry back in the early 1990s.
Having introduced the 2009 range of sport and naked bikes, Triumph now presents a promotional video inviting riders to go their own way. The video features the new Street Triple R among a multitude of choices: Daytona 675, Street Triple, Speed Triple, Tiger and Sprint ST.
The Triumph Tiger is best characterized by its three major abilities: to scratch, tour, and commute. It stands as the perfect mixture of those very necessary features which makes it a leader in its class. > More

The Tiger 1050 was officially launched to the press back in November in Marbella, Southern Spain. Triumph chose this location based on its warm and sunny climate – perfect for testing bikes. However the weather was against the UK journalists who had to test the Tiger 1050 in torrential rain – apparently the worst weather Marbella has seen for 20 years!
Chris Moss, writing for Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine, saw the silver lining on the dark clouds in the sky as the wet weather (...) > More
