By Ben Purvis The market for affordable adventure sports middleweights is heating up and Triumph has unveiled a unique entry to the fray in the form of the Tiger Sport 660 . Coming as a follow-up to the Trident 660 , and the second model to carry the company ' s smallest three-cylinder engine , the Tiger Sport 660 squares up

against the ever-popular Kawasaki Versys 650 and Yamaha ' s Tracer 7 as a road-oriented sports tourer with an adventure bike riding position . Hitting dealers in February next year , the bike offers a different take to its parallel twin rivals with Triumph ' s signature threecylinder engine giving it a clear performance edge . With 81 PS ( 80 bhp ) at 10,250 rpm , bolstered by 47 lb / ft of torque at 6250 with at least 90 percent of that twist on hand all the way from 3,600 rpm to 9,750 rpm , the Tiger Sport 660 outguns its closest rival , the Tracer 7 , by around 7.5 bhp . Triumph will also be offering an A2 licence kit to restrict the bike to 47 hp , a job that ' s easily reversed once owners get their full licence .
