Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs. 800

Two Tiger Sports. One easy all-rounder, one with real pace.

Both are comfortable sport tourers with the same seat height, tank and roomy riding position. The real difference is the engine: the 800's 798cc triple pulls from low revs and sings at the top, with an adjustable fork and floating discs to match.
