Your absolutely right,non of the tigers have had any more off road ability than a honda VFR,haveing been in a situation some years ago i'm speaking from experience!!!,of course one has to define 'Off Road' i think a lot of peoplel consider forest tracks and fire breaks as off road!!!!
Were the problem is,all of the tigers have been good alrounders,i've spent several years and a lot of money building a tiger with better brakes,suspension,and 17" wheels,to make for me a bike that is even a greater alrounder,,the mistake Triumph have made,not only will they loose few that go e'r!!!! offroad,their going to loose a lot of people who ride two up,for the people who only ride one up there are plenty of other bikes to choose from thats for sure.
Triumph's concept is a good one,the problem being the mistake they've made with the rear end has turned what could been a really great alrounder into a toy.
