Conclusion - what gets stuck
Don't misunderstand: She can do that with touring, but that's not really her nature. Every adventure bike is a compromise, the triumph clearly tends towards sport. Together with this certain ease of service and all the driving behaviour, it makes it easy for even less experienced touring riders to explore the world in a relaxed way. And yet these would not be the right pilots of the Tigers.The advantages of the triumph are best enjoyed by the biker, who wants to ride sportily. Everything else is for the big cat, because despite the good torque, the Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport encourages to send the footrests towards the tar instead of gondolaing through the area with the standard cruise control.
For the city it is also not the first choice, it starts with the wide handlebars and does not stop with the cladding.
Who wants the tiger and sport, in a hurry to the finish and since have a lot of fun - please very, the triumph is ready.
