Title: Tigers Licensed in the UK by Year Since 1994
Post by: CoolHandLuke on June 29, 2011, 11:16:44 AM
This is only accurate as the V5 document.  My V5 only states the bike is a Triumph and doesn't list the Model.

The combined stats is cool.  You can see the decline in sales of the Girly before the launch of the 1050 in 2006:

That's interesting, but the figures look a bit dubious. For example, my bike was definitely both licensed and SORNed in 2010 but there are none showing...

The model on my V5 is Tiger 955i - perhaps this model isn't included.

Just had a look at the source data from DfT and my bike doesn't seem to appear :?:

Not me mate. If I wanted to see 3 prats making (even bigger) idiots of themselves I'd just go down the nearest pub.

Just shows what a crap seller the 955 was up against the 1050 with 17" wheels that no one wanted  :roll:

Aye, I am not convinced the data is that great to be honest.

interesting idea though....

Early steamers are getting rather rare if the numbers are to be believed.

I wouldn't believe the numbers,  as  Ian and Cool Hand have pointed out there are all those that the dealers registered as Triumph, or 955i or anything else they decided was the correct way.

The classic club I belong to also pointed out that any imported car isn't listed as mostly they come in as two axle rigid, or two axle saloon.

Too many holes to be accurate but kind of interesting.
Title: Steamers in the US
Post by: Colonel Nikolai on July 03, 2011, 06:26:52 PM
Since they only shipped 2000 Steamers ever to the US, could it be that Steamers are down near the hundreds here?

There are two Triumph dealers in my area (Minneapolis). One is 45 miles away in Belle Plaine, Minnesota. The other is 26 miles away in Lakeville. The one in Lakeville told me they've only seen one other Steamer than mine in the last year. I heard one mechanic there croon "I remember those!" when I took it in last year.

Rarer and rarer I'd say.

It can't be long before people stop buying them to strip the parts to put them on eBay - well, I hope not...
