It must be in the OEM motorcycle launch handbook to tell testers, “These are some of the best roads you’ll ever ride.” To the point that, if they didn’t say it, I’d almost be more intrigued. And to be fair, they’re always good or great, but for the launch of the Tiger Sport in Alicante, Spain, they were bloody amazing.
The only problem I had was being human.
You see, Triumph launched both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 at the same event, so I spent half the day on each. The first part of the ride, my duty was to assess the Tiger Sport. But on the mesmerizing strips of asphalt ahead, I let comparison be the thief of joy, and wished that I was rounding each corner on a Trident rather than my Tiger Sport because the roads seemed more suited to that chassis.
