Triumph Tiger Sport 800 specifications
Triumph · Sport touring
Motorcycle News gives the Tiger Sport 800 the top spot as Best Tall-Rounder, an ideal blend of sporty power and touring comfort with a lively, torquey three-cylinder engine, agile handling and striking looks.
One reviewer raises a minor issue, less of one once owners are used to it, noting that Triumph handles a feature in a unique way that other manufacturers have managed to include at a similar price. But says the engine, handling and ride are so good that it does not bother them.
