The 2.3 liter three-cylinder engine offers incredible levels of flexibility, for effortless riding whether two-up, fully loaded with luggage or solo, while the sophisticated fuel injection feeds in power seamlessly, with controlled acceleration on tap at the twist of a throttle.

2008 Triumph Tiger 1050

Tiger
It commutes. It tours. It scratches.Pictures of 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050
I spotted the 2007 Tiger 1050 in Mumbai at Mechanic, managed to click few really bad pics from my cell phone camera. Check here for pictures

The Tiger, with its mile-munching ability and sheer dependability, has won a legion of fans the world over. It lives in a genuinely different space to other bikes in its class, excelling in three distinct areas – it scratches; it tours and it commutes. While its sharp lines and performance spec make the Tiger’s sporting credentials clear from a glance, its stunning looks hide a practical streak. Two-up, you’ve got a bike that comfortably devours miles of tarmac thanks to the relaxed riding position, spacious seat, supple suspension and tractable torquey engine. Back in the city the commanding view really comes into its own, while the wide bars make tight manoeuvres child’s play.

At the new Tiger’s heart is the amazing 1050cc, fuel-injected, three-cylinder engine. This motor, known for its addictive character, has plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower, with ample reserves of both for those two-up fully laden tours. Peak power of 114bhp is delivered at 9400rpm, with 74ft.lbf torque at 6250rpm.

It has all the all-round practicality and comfort of the old Tiger – a broad, supportive seat for rider and pillion, relaxed ergonomics and efficient half fairing and screen – but also a composure and sporting ability that few, if any, will be able to match.

The twin-spar aluminum frame housing the 1050cc engine is new as is the braced aluminum swingarm. New too are the cast aluminum wheels, both are now 17in allowing a wider choice of tires; the front tire’s a 120/70 ZR17, the rear a 180/55 ZR17. The 43mm upside down fully adjustable forks and remote spring preload and rebound damping adjustable rear shock provide an almost magic carpet-like ride over the most varied of surfaces, from the roughest Tarmac to the smoothest blacktop asphalt. Twin four-piston radial calipers bite 320mm front discs, the rear 255mm disc uses a single twin-piston caliper. The Tiger’s seat height is a manageable 835mm (32.9in), matched to a dry weight of 416lbs. Fuel capacity is 5.2 gal, giving an excellent touring range.

Supremely comfortable, two-up tourer; sporty solo funster or sleek, stylish city bike: There are very few genuine all-round motorcycles in existence – the Tiger is most certainly one of them.

An ABS version of the Tiger is also available.

Features:-
The 2008 Triumph Tiger Engine:-
The Tiger’s engine delivers power and ear to ear grins. Nothing sounds like a triple so there’s no confusing a Tiger with the whine of an anonymous four. The amazing 1050cc, fuel-injected, three cylinder engine, known for its addictive character, has plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower, with ample reserves of both for those two-up fully laden tours. Peak power of 114bhp is delivered at 9400rpm, with 74ft.lbf torque at 6250rpm.
The 2008 Triumph Tiger Seat:-
The comfortable, spacious seat and relaxed rider and passenger ergonomics mean you’ll arrive fresh even at the end of the longest day.
The 2008 Triumph Tiger Handlebars:-
High, wide bars give a comfortable riding position and excellent control at all speeds, from urban manoeuvring to motorway cruising.
The 2008 Triumph Tiger suspensions:-

The 43mm upside down fully adjustable forks and remote spring preload and rebound damping adjustable rear shock keeps the ride comfortable on the worst of roads and gives excellent control when the pace picks up.
The 2008 Triumph Tiger ABS:-
Triumph’s Antilock Braking System has been carefully designed to boost control under hard braking, working on both wheels independently. This unobtrusive system retains all the sensations of riding, operating at 100 calculations per second to sense the precise moment the wheel is about to lock up, then preventing it from doing so. The system has been specifically tailored to the Tiger, with painstaking calibration over many months to ensure optimum braking performance.

Pulsar 220 or Karizma FI

In last couple of years we have observed a clear shift from 100cc to 125cc / 150cc bikes and 150cc to 180 to 220cc performance oriented bikes. Altough the first question a average Indian commuter asks while going for a new bike is "Average kitna hai?" (whats the fuel economy), the priority for our Desi-Biker has now changed. He expects power, performance, riding comfort, features and technology. This is surely a welcome sign and as the demand for such bike grows we will surely see world class bikes being imported or manufactured in India.

Recently i have received lots of queries like:
Hi,
I got your e-mail id from the confused programmer website.
I am about to buy a bajaj pulsar 220 in jan 2008.But some of my friends and some information on the internet suggests that a few indian bike manufacturers are taking over some european giants like ducati,triumph,etc.
Since i have a budget of around 1.5 lakhs and this is the only bike i will be using for a long time i want to make a good investment.can you pls let me know if actually any of these deals might work out and could launch a bike in 2008 in my budget.And pls let me know if my choice of going for a bajaj p220 is good or not or should i go for the new karizma f1 or others if any pls suggest.
I hope you will reply soon.
-Yours sincerely,
Ishan M.
So question usually the question is Pulsar220 vs Karizma FI and in this case we are also considering any future launches from Ducati,Triumph, KTM, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki.

Following are few points that we all can consider before making any decision:
  • Karizma Fi is not yet launched and there is no confirmed news from anywhere that it will ever be launched.
  • The Pulsar 220 Dtsi is by far the best Indian bike we have right now and much more advanced and powerful than any other bikes including Karizma R. (Keeping aside the Bullets and Kinetic Comet).
  • Bajaj was earlier in talks with Ducati and Triumph, but no updates on that.
  • Bajaj recently acquired a 17% stake in KTM. 250cc to 990cc bikes like super duke would be available in pro biking showrooms from mid next year. But these would be purely imports and imports attract a duty of 105%. Even the 250cc bike from KTM is expected to cost 2 lakh upwards.
  • Yamaha R1 which costs about 5 lakhs in the foreign market will costs 11 lakhs here. Harley Davidson has dropped its plans for India because of such high import duties. So any bike like Yamaha YZFR125 / Ninja 250 / CBR 125 will all cost 3lakhs+ in India even if imported by any of the Indian company. No company has any confirmed plans of jointly manufacturing them in India.
So Bajaj definitely have plans of manufacturing bikes 300cc to 600cc with tech from KTM and Kawasaki but i don't see anything hitting the roads in next 2 years at the very least.

Bajaj likely to acquire Triumph

Earlier posts:-
Read Here and here

A formal announcement of a possible brand acquisition is likely during Auto Expo, the annual automotive show hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), in the Capital in early 2008. Bajaj Auto is in the fray to buy Triumph, a premium bike maker in the UK.

"Bigger bikes will need to be developed and we understand that most of this market for bigger bikes will be outside the country. And therefore, an acquisition of a recognised brand makes sense. It is likely to be a complete takeover or a majority stake buyout," said Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, Bajaj Auto.

A big-ticket European brand like Triumph will not only put Bajaj products in the premium lifestyle range in India, but also help it expand to developed markets where such bikes tend to dominate. Mr Bajaj said the decision not to pursue Ducati was partly influenced by the fact that the company was in loss-making mode. “I don’t think it makes business sense to buy a struggling brand. While the brand may have the recognition, it is difficult to work around other problems,” he explained.

The acquisition of a marquee brand will also shape Bajaj's future product portfolio. Broadly, the plan is to keep the Bajaj brand focused on the 125-600-cc segment.

Bajaj Auto's thrust on exports is likely to continue, and the company has no plans to establish a manufacturing base abroad or produce bikes catering particularly to export markets. "A BMW does not change a single spring when it is sold in other export markets, and that's the power of the product. I do not think it is profitable to design products for key export markets," said Mr Bajaj.

I hope this acquisition goes through successfully, keeping my fingers crossed.

Bajaj targets Triumph to rev up its line-up



This is in continuation to my earlier post

"NEW DELHI: Jaguar and Land Rover aren’t the only British crown jewels that Indian auto companies are looking at. Two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto is focusing on British cult bike company Triumph as a possible takeover target.

According to sources in the auto industry, Bajaj was earlier looking at Triumph and Italian cult bike company Ducati but has now decided to focus only on Triumph. When contacted, Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj refused to comment.

Sources say Bajaj is looking to snap up a cult, top-end European bike brand to compliment its product line-up in India and position itself as a global, rather than regional player in the motorcycle market. Triumph, given its niche positioning, cult brand image and strong product line-up, is an attractive target for the Pune-based company. " read more on Eco times


I hope i get the Triumph Daytona 600 in an year.
