The Appeal
Following Triumph’s re-entry to the 350cc market, the Tiger 90 was introduced as a “baby” version of the sporty 100SS model.
As the name would imply, these dependable bikes are capable of achieving a top speed of 90mph in ideal conditions.

Today, very few of these models exist, with the 90 model being somewhat of a hidden gem, appreciated only by true enthusiasts. In addition to performing without faul, this particular example stands out from the crowd, boasting a striking paint job and original metalwork.
This bike is certainly a tasty slice of motoring history, and would make the perfect addition to your collection.

There is also a minor amount of staining on the fuel tank near the cap but otherwise, this Tiger is in fantastic condition.
