Triumph Tiger 800 gets the supermoto treatment

This supermoto version of Triumph’s Tiger 800 is the latest special to be built by Jack Lilley Triumph of Ashford, Middlesex.

It started life as a standard, new Tiger 800 to which Lilley has added a host of custom features. Wheels are 800 XC hubs laced to 17-inch Excel rims, it has a Speed Triple 1050 belly pan and front guard with Street Triple headlights and flyscreen, race levers and an Arrow exhaust. It’s finished in Triumph Imperial Purple.

Dave Lilley told MCN: “The first time I saw the Tiger I knew I wanted to try to build a supermoto version. Clive Wood who used to run Jack Lilley Racing helped build the bike and did a fantastic job. We just wanted to prove that it can be done. It’s different to everything else that you see and a lot of the people that come into the dealership go straight to it.”

The bike is currently for sale for £10,999 but copies or variations are also possible. “If somebody wants a special built then the answer is always yes,” said Lilley. “I’ll do everything I can to get it done.”
