An updated take on an old concept, the adventures on this new Trumpet adventure-tourer will take place on the pavement and not the dirt. See what we thought about this Triumph in our

An updated take on an old concept, the adventures on this new Trumpet adventure-tourer will take place on the pavement and not the dirt.
It may have lost some of its off-road styling, but we don't think Trumpet fans will be complaining about its distinctive angular look.

Around town, the upright seating position gave Bayly a good vantage point for examing surrounding traffic and riding conditions.

New for 2007 is the Tiger's twin-spar aluminum frame and the 17-inch cast aluminum wheels.
The Tiger received a new twin-spar aluminum frame for 2007.

At about six-feet tall, Bayly wished the windshield was either a llittle higher or lower as his head was fully in the breeze and subject to a fair amount of buffeting.
The inline 1050cc Triple produces a claimed 114 horsepower at 9,400 rpm.
Rolling down the interstate, the Tiger tended to perform in its sweet spot, between 4,000-5,000 rpm at a speed of 65-80 mph.
The Tiger's lines for 2007 are sharper and more street-focused than Tigers of yore.
Strap on some of the Tiger's available soft luggage accessories and you're ready to hit the open road on the adventure-touro.
Here Bayly does his best impersonation of Evil Knievel.
Bayly was able to cut acute angles through the turns thanks to a well-balanced chassis.
The Tiger is fine for zipping around town, but to get a better feel of what the bike has to offer head out to the country with a full tank of gas and open it up.
With a seat height of 32.8 inches, Bayly said the ergonomics were excellent if you like the standard sit-up-straight riding position.

The braced, twin-sided aluminum alloy swingarm is a new addition to the 2007 Triumph Tiger.
The Tiger's looks continue to evolve from its original Paris/Dakar off-road racing styling to a more street-minded machine.

Triumph techs chose a minimilast cockpit layout with an analog tach and small central digital speedo.
The large, high exit exhaust kept the Tiger's roar to a minimal. Bayly noticed more noise coming up through the fairing openings than out of the muffler.
Up front the Tiger has twin Nissin 320mm floating discs with four-piston radial calipers that Bayly claims is plenty strong enough to lilft the rear wheel when showboating for the sportbike boys.
The Tiger powerplant is a 1050cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, in-line 3 with plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower.
