But once again, just as with the Trident, the British company is seeking to bring added value to its offering via a series of features absent from its main competitors, the Kawasaki Versys 650 and Suzuki V-Strom 650. That\u2019s while offering the Thai-built triple \u2014 all its rivals are less powerful twins \u2014 at a very competitive price of $10,995 for the Lucerne Blue and Black or Graphite and Black variants, with the Korosi Red and Graphite option costing $125 more.<\/p>\n<p>This is keen pricing given its category-leading specification, which includes a two-year unlimited mileage warranty plus 16,000 km service intervals aimed at offering the lowest cost of ownership in the category. That\u2019s made feasible, says Triumph product boss Steve Sargent, who\u2019s been responsible for supervising this model\u2019s creation, thanks to the extensive testing program which underpins this latest example of the firm\u2019s trademark engine platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testing and the Low Cost of Ownership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-59358\" src=\"https:\/\/motorcyclemojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tiger_Sport_660__BA8I765_PB-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\">During its development, the 660 engine underwent over 1.6 million km worth of durability testing, 1,900 km of flat-out speed runs, 31 individual rig tests over 3,440 hours, 32,000 km on track and 3,300 hours of road testing. As of the end of 2021, the British company has produced and sold over 650,000 three-cylinder motorcycles since John Bloor restarted Triumph production three decades ago in 1991, so it knows a bit about how to build such bikes \u2014 and build them to last.<br \/>\nDuring the first three years of ownership, the new Tiger Sport 660 is claimed to require the shortest time for service work in its category, and the lowest cost of routine maintenance parts. So over a three-year timeframe, instead of the 11.0 to 15.9 standard workshop hours needed by the competition, the Tiger Sport only requires 8.3 hours of service time, making it at least 30 per cent less pricey than its&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triumph adds a more touring-oriented middleweight to its lineup using an already established driveline.
