I'm going to try and get through the history of the name "Tiger" as used by manufacturers that have called themselves Triumph through the years - up until the latest and greatest Tigers we all know and love!
You'll be surprised that the first Triumph Tiger was produced in 1937!!!!
Herewith, the first post:
1937 - 1939: Triumph Tiger 80 - link
The Triumph Tiger 80 is a British motorcycle first made by Triumph from 1937. There was also a 250cc Tiger 70 and a 500cc Tiger 90. Production of the Tiger ended with the outbreak of World War II and never resumed after the Triumph works at Priory Street in Coventry were completely destroyed during The Blitz in 1940 by heavy German bombing.
