I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.

I'd love to have one of those, but can't get them here in the US.

The article calls it a 1200 sport, but I Think it's just a tiger sport (still a nice 1050 motor).

Love my 1050

My thoughts on the Tiger Sport...or... The Ramblings of an old fart...

Booked one out for a short test ride on the Triumph open day, wanted to try a Speed 3 too but that was fully booked :icon_sad: anyway...

Have to say it looks feckin cool in a rather understated way :icon_lol: so I get on and start the test only to find my nether regions feel a cramped, this could be down to a too low seat(is it adjustable?)or my weight gain :icon_sad:
Then I notice my feet are pointing downwards but cant do anything to alter the position apart from putting my toes on the pegs..then have to tip my left foot inwards to change gear...all slightly alien to me.
Next up are the mirrors...which are vibe free but give a great view of your arms :icon_lol:
Finally some positive thoughts...the motors a peach...pulls easy from 30mph in top gear without fuss and fuel glitches...tips into corners like a good un with no confidence issues and brakes well enough with one finger operation :thumbsup

Sooo, would I buy one....probably, just need to try a Speedy.....

Have to say, getting back on Tiggs afterwards was like putting on your old comfy slippers, you just know they`re right :sleepy1
