Triumph Tiger description

This is a 1978 5 speed matching numbers Tiger.
I owned this bike for more than 30 years and have imported it into the USA with my possessions when I emigrated to the USA a few years ago.
A very reliable and fast bike.

The bike has a recent top end rebuild, rebore, new pistons, rings etc.
Recent front fork rebuild, new fluid etc.
Mikuni 32 mm Carburetor, upgrade.
Akront Aluminium rims
Dunlop K70 tires, both good.
Fiberglass side panels. (you can see the remains of a sticker on the right side panel, this is not damage to the panel).
Stock down pipes with short mega mufflers.
Single clock custom mount.
Tomasselli 1/4 quick pull throttle.
AP Racing front brake reservoir.
Aluminium fenders.
6' USA spec headlight.
Lucas taillight.
Stainless steel custom handlebars.

It has the original UK registration document and licence plate.
I will supply the USA customs clearance 7501 form, to confirm it has cleared into the USA and all fees were payed etc. 
Also a written statement of facts to confirm all.

Basically. like buying a bike from the UK but all the paperwork has been done.

I am happy to work with a shipper of your choice.

AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Riders Gearing Up For Road America

Thu, 29 May 2014

The AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class makes its much-anticipated return to Road America this weekend. The four-mile Wisconsin circuit is a particularly exciting place to watch the middleweight bikes because its long straights and braking zones make passing and lead changes commonplace. More than just a test of man and machine, the races often develop into a strategic battle leading up to the all-important last lap and run up the hill to the checkered flag.

Intermot 2012: 2013 Triumph Street Triple, Street Triple R Revealed

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Triumph has redesigned its Street Triple for 2013, revealing the updated 675cc naked bikes at the 2012 Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. 2013 Triumph Street Triple and the slightly more up-spec Street Triple R receive an all-new chassis featuring aluminum beam twin-spar frames and two-piece die-cast rear subframes. According to Triumph, the new chassis optimizes agility and handling with fewer welds than the previous frame and helping reduce the overall wet weight by 13 pounds to 403 pounds.

50th Anniversary Of The Great Escape To Be Celebrated With Electric Motorcycle

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

July 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Steve McQueen film, “The Great Escape,” and to commemorate the golden anniversary of McQueen’s escape attempt from German forces during WWII, McQueen Motorcycle will unveil a special electric motorcycle, the Xscape. The Xscape is scheduled to be McQueen Motorcycle’s first production motorcycle, with cues to incorporate today’s technology and integrate “the history and design of tradition.” Details are scarce at this point, but considering McQueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy in the scene, it would be reasonable to expect similar styling. In fact, looking closely at the photo above will reveal wire wheels, most likely a nod to the vintage Triumph.
