Very tidy 2008 Tiger 1050 Just in from Japan
The 2008 Triumph Tiger has a 1050cc three-cylinder engine that produces a claimed 111 horsepower at 9,400 rpm and 72 ft/lbs of torque at 6250 rpm, which is plenty of grunt. The power is on-tap all the way up to its 10,000 rpm red line, and it is punchiest around 5-to-6 grand.
Truly, the torque curve runs all the way through all six of the rather tall gears, so you never have the feeling that you need to constantly be shifting. The throaty sound that bursts from the pipe when you are revving up adds to the adrenalin rush you are sure to feel as you pour the power on.
