Triumph Tiger 955i

2006 model held over by popular demand!

Triumph’s Tiger 955i may present a conundrum for the categorically obsessed. Though tall, narrow and seemingly trail-ready, it is not a dirt bike. The Tiger may be built for comfort, but it is far from a cruiser. And, while minimally terrain flexible, it will never be confused with a dual sport. The Tiger, according to the current zeitgeist of marketing buzzwords, is classified as an adventure touring bike. Like the Buell Ulysses and the BMW R 1200 GS, the Tiger seeks to satiate the wanderlust of a generation who wouldn’t be caught dead on a Honda Gold Wing, but rather considers itself youthful, rugged, and somewhat sporty. Semantic vagaries aside, the best spokesperson for the bike is, of course, the bike itself.

Testimonials

“Great bikes, great roads, great people!

And NO TRAFFIC!

How about that Speed Triple! Whatever you want: the riding, the places to stay, the scenery, the company; it’s all top class.

And, on top of all this, the Canadian dollar is in really poor shape. It’s not cheap, but it’s excellent value.”
