Conclusion - what sticks

The Tiger Sport 660 is indeed a motorcycle for all occasions. Whether to work, in the city, to swing curves on the country road or on trips - she can do everything. Thanks to the good-natured driving behavior, it is also suitable for novice drivers and does not overwhelm anyone.
 
The competitors have less power and are all two-cylinder. So if you're into triples, you can't get past the Triumph in this class anyway, but apart from that, the Tiger is in a good position compared to the competition.
 
Anyone who has now tasted blood and would like to take a test drive should go to Triumph Hamburg as soon as possible. There the little kitten is ready for a test drive and will welcome you with a heartbreaking hiss.
