Here is Cut #2 from the cockpit of El Tigre on Monarch Pass, late May 2006. The whole clip is less than 3 minutes long. Turn the volume up and listen to the Triple sing!
The "flash 8" video player takes about 5 secs to upload, if you don't have it.

Is this the sound from the standard pipe?
Sounds Good!
I will purchase a bike soon and the Tiger is in my short lits.
No, that is the Triumph Off-Road pipe with the Off-Road tune. It does sound good, and strangely enough, the sound keeps getting better with the more miles that it has on it.
I have the Triumph off road pipe on my Tiger as well....sounds just awesome! I have only had it to 6k since I'm still running it in...but you got to love that sound! Its such a value compared to other aftermarket pipes.
Those roads are so wide!
Heres a short couple of clips from the Jura mountains, in France. Riding a 2002 Tiger.
Files are quite large (7 and 11mb) so watch out dialup people.

Ha haaaaaaaaaaaa. It's like the beginning of Casualy or Six Feet Under :shock: . You did get back okay, didn't you?
Great engine noise, I presume you have a race can. Pity the clocks are out of the frame. Do some more, go on; but be careful :D
It looks a lot hairier than it actually is, the camera is zoomed slightly exaggerating the (lack of) distances between the bike and the cars, specially going into the hairpin.
Its a stock bike (well, was a stock bike when that was taken) so its a standard can etc.
I posted them to show the differences between the mountain passes in North America and some of the mountain roads in the alps and other parts of Europe. Some of them are very narrow for the number of cars/lorrys you see on them, as you can see there. To make progress, you have to play a little....
