Have I found David's next bike?

Lots of torque, 100 MPG. 160 kph should be fast enough. In remote location can siphon fuel from any passing pickup.

Different that's for sure!

Looks good actually, but I wonder how it both goes & handles.

Great bullet-proof engines with lotsa torque.
Heavy frame with spar going over the engine making them top heavy.
Suspension wasn't great but fixable with modern gear.
More of a design exercise, most probably inspired by the A/T, Tenere & GS's of the time.
I don't think there are any in LoS though, as Tiger Mk1 pre-dates the short period
when there was a Triumph dealership in the late 1990s early 2000.

...if you can find a pick-up in a remote location! ;-)

But with 100 mpg you should be able to go remote and back.
