Tiger numbers

Dead right,

I used to think that Ducati could not make an ugly bike but they proved me wrong there  :roll:

Sorry to go off topic, but yes, that thing is an unholy nightmare!

I guess I could have actually read the descriptions of each of the tech forums and gotten production years and a correct understanding of the 885 fuelies.  Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, the easy way to tell the difference between the 885 girlies and the 955 girlies is the graphics on the tank.  885:



955:

This thread got me thinking about the rarity of Hinckley Tigers and I've spent several hours to no avail attempting to come up with USA and Canada import numbers. I'd sure be curious to see, by year, the actual number brought into North America. I have never seen a steamer in person, I occassionally see girlies around, and have seen a few roadies out and about. Anyone know of a place to go to find this data?

thanks,

I think this is the point of the thread    I've only seen 4 girlies and a steamer in my lifetime.

Since Triumph isn't privately owned, they don't have to file quarterly earnings reports.  You'll occasional see quantity info published, but it is few and far between.  For instance this links gives totals sales for 2007 as 41,125 units, and singles out the Tiger, Speed 3, Daytona 675 and RIII as the sales drivers:

This site puts 06 sales at 37,400 and 05 as 31,600 with no mention of models:

The next sit is US sales number:

http://www.webbikeworld.com/triumph-mot ... -sales.htm (http://www.webbikeworld.com/triumph-motorcycles/triumph-2006-sales.htm)

Here the US breakout of 2006 sales is 10,726 (28% of worldwide sales.)  The next article Just a month or so old, describes continued growth, putting out 48,929 bikes in the last 12 month period.  It also mentions that Triumph's growth is an anomaly as all four Japanese manufacturers as well as HD have seen sales slump.

THis post (any CPAs in Georgia?) for a Job with Triumph US suggests that Triumph is the fastest crowing Company in the US !?!

Unfortunately, all is not rosy.  Bloor's other business is in housing and construction and that is causing a financial hit:

Some time ago I had found a post in austrailia that had detailed Triumph sales in OZ on a model by model basis, but I can't dig it up now.
