whether the styling of the 660 Tiger is a sign of what we can expect from the next update to the 1050 , but considering that bike ’ s styling dates back to 2007 , we wouldn ’ t be surprised if the 1050 follows the 660 ’ s lead here . When it comes to the ownership experience , Triumph claims that the Tiger Sport 660 is up to 30 % more affordable than the Japanese bikes it ’ s up against in terms of servicing costs . Oil changes , for example , are due at 16,000km or once a year , whichever comes first . The Tiger Sport 660 will be available in three colour options when it arrives next year , with
Lucerne Blue and Sapphire Black , Graphite and Saffire Black , and Korossi Red and Saffire Black being the options . Korossi Red will come at a slight premium according to Triumph . While there are 40 + accessories listed for the Tiger Sport 660 , an accessory exhaust pipe is not among them . Triumph says this is because the bike is tuned to achieve its best , but we are pretty sure that the lack of factory option pipe is also due to the tough Euro5 emissions the bike had to pass . There ’ s also no centre stand which may come as a surprise for experienced tourers .
