This may be old news but it's new to me.

I saw this in the latest issue of Visor Down. They used the same graphic for both the Yamaha Fazer 8 and the Super Tenere if that lends any credence to the claim.

Sorry for the remarkably bad cel phone pic...

The pic says the Tiger Cub was, "Spotted testing over a year ago."   Headscratch  

I don't recall seeing any clear spy pics, apart from the recent Motard sighting.  I would be interested in a minimalist 675 Motard over a 675 Tiger - crossing my fingers on that one.

Maybe a Tiger Cub (or "Liger" as I referred to it on TriumphRAT.net) would be a better complement to my Sprint than a STriple (R).  Of course, the point/thought/desire is m00t since there's no way I could afford 2 bikes.

IN the latest Triumph magazine (sent to owners that register, I believe), there was an interview with John Bloor -- he specifically called out the "enduro" market as one he felt had lots of growth opportunities -- as the guy whose privately held company arguably started the commercially available streetfighter niche, I'd listen to the man . . . . .

but that's just me ;-}

I'm a registered T. owner, and don't receive said mag. Sad  Anyway, I've said for some time I'd like a half-faired, longer-travel version of the 675. Love the Striple, but want a bit more weather protection.

If it comes out, and if it still has a 675 (which I kinda doubt), it'll be a low-revving/higher torque mill than what's in the Wee-Tona/Wee-Triple.

But I'm betting they'll stroke the 675 to 750 or 800cc, with a 12k redline, and gain a lot of bottom end torque compared to the original 675.  And that motor will probably find its way into the Street Triple in short order, and maybe even in a smaller Sprint.

Heheh, when I wrote that, another forum member interpreted it as shorthand for "lowered Tiger".

Yeah, maybe.  I love the Speedy, but a Tiger would be more practical for me.  I would just need to convince myself fully that I didn't want the horsepower my current whip afford me Bigsmile

HAH...GL with that!  Lol

I saw a white Tiger on the way to work this morning going the other way.  It had all 3 bags on; how you could miss it is beyond me.  Oh, I guess my point is I'd hope a Tiger Cub is as visible as the current 1050 Cat.

Be careful with that logic. I've made that move before and regretted it.

If you really decide to sell your S3 if the Tiger Cub comes out, PM me first.

Local dealer says a 675cc Tiger is coming out within the next year.

It will be offered in 2 versions: street and off-road.

I hope it's that semi-naked Speed Triple-like Motard thing from the spy shots, and not simply a smaller engined Tiger 1050.  

It's about time there was a Triumph "supermoto!"  :popcorn:
