I have recently found that my 95 Steamer may be eligible for a "Collector" licence plate in my jurisdiction (British Columbia) if I can verify that it's over 15 years with less than a certain amount been made for worldwide consumption in that year. Anyone out there have any idea how many 95's were produced & more specifically, how many were shipped to North America?
This plate would give me full insurance coverage for only $150 per year, so this is an opportunity to get more fuel running through it if those insurance costs are reduced.
Thanks,
Triumph is pretty secretive with the numbers ................But when the 1st North American models came out Cycle Worlds test report stated that there were only 125 1995 Tigers imported to USA. sadly No docs to verify though . It was the around February or March 95 issue
125 was the number that stuck in my mind, but as you say, with no verification. Peter Carleo at Triumph USA guessed at 250 for all of North America for '95. I guess I will try to connect with the factory next. All this will depend on how accurate the insurance company requires.
The BMW factory in Germany was kind enough to verify 709 USA models were made that year (for my other ride). Speaks a lot for customer relations.
Thanks for the input.
