Using the same 659cc triple from the new Trident, the new Tiger gets upright adventure-style ergonomics and wind protection.
Designed primarily for the street with 17″ wheels, the ride-by-wire throttle allows riders to select from Road and Rain power modes, each with unique traction control. A colorful TFT display is part of the bargain, which is priced at $9,295 MSRP.
Although the suspension is non-adjustable, it includes a quality Showa Separate Function Fork. The chassis is borrowed from the Trident, but adapts a longer swingarm and stronger subframe.
Fuel capacity is a reasonable 4.5 gallons, and wet weight is roughly 455 pounds (claimed dry weight would be 425 pounds, or so). The Tiger Sport 660 should be in U.S. dealerships in February of next year.
