2001 Triumph Tiger review from United States of America
"This is an SUV of motorcycles, and a good one at that"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The seat could have been better, but it was better than most. I'm picky about my seats.
General comments?
The fuel injection was flawless. Ran well at all times, no matter how cold or hot it was. Roll on was some of the best I've experienced.
Loved how I didn't have to dodge rough pavement or pot holes.
The Metzler Torrance tires never disappointed me.
Even though it felt a little heavy at slow speeds, it was very stable as it got faster. Also, the wind didn't push it around all that much.
Wished it was a little lower at slow speeds, but that wasn't an issue after speeding up.
