Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.

If you can afford to pay around 8,500 euros (Germany) or just under 9,000 euros (Austria) for the RC390 R and then have around 11,000 flakes left over for the SSP 300 kit, you will get world championship-ready racing goods. "Ready to Race", the name says it all, really. In this case, "Ready to win the World Championship" would almost be more accurate, because the parts kit is actually so complete and complies with the FIM regulations. KTM is doing everything it can to accommodate all those who are considering a serious entry into the racing world, especially of course all the young hopefuls out there. KTM Customer Racing, I pull my helmet! Bravo!

Never before has it been easier to get hold of a World Championship-ready racing machine.

The realisation that I will probably not become a gifted ring rider.
