Finally. The New Triumph Tiger 800 XC.

Taking square aim at the BMW F800. If the price is right it should do very well indeed. This is the dirt version (obviously). A street version with 17's is on the way also.

Hello Steve,

Just wanted to share some pictures of what was my daily rider this season. It is a back to bone stock 1970 Triumph Trophy 250. Matching numbers with the original paint on the tank. It is actually for sale if you could maybe post it to try to help me out. The wife and I are relocating cross country soon and she said I have to pick one motorcycle to go... darn. 

Great site!

Thanks

Andrew

I don't do a lot of "for sale" post but this is one of my favorites.  Wish I could buy it myself.

Salty Triumph

 Thank You Lee!

Reaader Ride with "Bonus Triumph Pics.

Aaron sent me a nice silhouette shot of his stable the other day along with a link to his flickr stream.  While perusing his photos I stumbled across this stunner of a custom Triumph Scrambler.  WOW!  Aaron I hope you don't mind (and if you do I'll pull them immediately) but I'm a huge Triumph fan and couldn't pass these up. 

By the way your original submital is excellent and included below. I'd love to see more angles of the Duck and especially Beemer.

Thanks Very Much

Aarons original note:
Hey!
I got a bit inspired on Sunday and had some fun with my DSLR and Photoshop; I ended up with what I think is a very good photo of my two bikes ('75 BMW R75/6 and '06 Ducati Multistrada 1000s) that you and your readers might like. The original is attached, and other sizes are at my flicker acct (under a Creative Commons license, so feel free to use what you like), here:
Cheers!

Here's the shanghaied Triumph...

And the original submittable.  Excellent Shot!

Reader Ride. Triumph then and now.

Reader Chris Cullen Sends in a few pics that really being home just how far Triumph motorcycles have come on their long and convoluted journey.  My eyes like them both but my back would probably prefer the older one

Then...

And Now..

Really excellent shots Chris.  Thanks Much!

Reader Ride. A nice triumph Chop.

Apparently the universe is sending me some really nice choppers lately and I've definately learned NOT to screw with the universe. Here's a really nice Triumph TR6 from Michael Haar.

Thank You Michael!

Garrick Anson sends in this nice panorama.

Been subscribed to your site for a while now, and figured I would send in one of my photos. This is my '99 Triumph Tiger just below the summit of Equinox Mountain outside of Manchester Vermont. This was taken on the 4th of July weekend this year during a 1600 mile road trip I took. I apologize for the photo quality, I only had my cell phone with me.

Great site, and keep up the good work.

Great Stuff! Thanks Much!

TRIUMPH TERRIR 175CC

thik the little bike look great with a few "bobber" parts here and there, the only problem is that you most likely will have to make them to get them the right size to the bike.

the old hummers were 175cc. here is one done by zero engineering you might have seen....

Cool site Man.
James

Thanks James. For those of you interested in his work I did some searching and found what I'm pretty sure is his site here:  http://www.headdownhelmeton.com/   and samples of his motorcycle related work here: http://www.artofthebike.com/store.php?crn=210

Excellent stuff.

James if I missed anything I'd appreciate it if you could set me straight.  Thanks.


Update:  I found the following description of the first bike below, written by James on the Chopper Nation Website Direct Link Here

"I'm a professional "post modern impressionist cityscape painter" and as it turns out, accidental bike builder. This bike, "Edgar Allan Poe", is the direct result of a collector of my paintings commenting on the funky look of my personal bike, which led to the funky look of her personal bike, which led to rebuilding of a couple of bikes in my studio which led to the ground up build of "Edgar". All the leather work, painting, gold-leafing and assembly was done in my studio at West 57th Street but, thanks to several near death experiences with previous builds, my studio mates kindly requested the engine "get the F*^$# done somewhere else". My friend Dave did the honors building a pristine motor for me and we moved engine shells back and forth so I could keep the spirit of the bike intact.

650 cc Triumph powerplant
38 Harley Springer front end
model T oil headlamp rewired for "'lectric"
custom leather and leather seat on Biltwell (what else-all my seats now are on Biltwell pans)
most of the goldleaf done on my Wife's dinning room table (while she was in Europe with the kids)
because, or did I mention, no heat in the warehouse because of some other near death experiences . Artist, as it turns out, are quite flammable.

I show the bikes with paintings and drawings done of the bikes as one piece of Art. There are so many bike builders whose bikes become Art. I'm a working artist whose Art, well, sorta became a bike.

Stunner of a Triumph.

Hey Mate,
I have been following your lovely blog for a while (keeps me sane at work) and I thought that you guys might like my modest little steed.
It was a 2003 Bonnie T100 and now she’s a little racer!
Mods are nothing to flash but a 904cc big bore and some bits and pieces keeps things interesting.

I will have to send multiple emails as my work email won’t let me send all the photos at once.
Love the site man; it’s a great mix of bikes. Keep up the good work!!
Regards

Very "Unusual" Triumph Street Tracker / Fighter / Whatever?

I keep looking at this bike and wondering why I kinda sorta like it. It's a very strange mix that that has me scratching my head.

Bob's Badass Bonneville...

Basic Bonneville turned street tracker with Honda Wheels and seriously upgraded suspension.  I've seen Bob ride this bike and she goes as good as she looks.  The bike's been on here before but this is a better and more recent picture from last May's Riding Into History where he was volunteering. 

Triumph Hellfire Street Triple Tracker.

Wow!

Wow! Serious Triumph Custom.

Thanks to Oldsport.

New Triumph Adventure Bike Spy Shots.

One will have 17's for street and one will have 21" front for dual purpose.  I may have to bite the bullet and buy one of the 21" bikes.  Will have a punched out version of the 675 triple for more torque.
