2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 adds rider-focused tech

A wide torque band and 10,000-mile maintenance interval attest to the 660's maturity.

Triumph Motorcycle sales for 2024 are projected to double since 2020 to an estimated total of 125,000 units, according to MotorcyclesSalesData.com. In the U.S., the best-selling model is the Tiger Sport 660. It’s no wonder that Triumph added new user-centric technology to this appealing bike.

Why the Tiger Sport 660 matters

When many people think of Triumph motorcycles, they picture a vintage Bonneville, but the Tiger Sport 660 has been Triumph’s best-seller in the U.S. market since its introduction in 2022. Weighing just 456 pounds and with a sub-$10,000 price tag, the Tiger Sport is the smallest of Triumph’s Adventure bike lineup. The Adventure classification is a bit tricky because, with some brands, it signifies a dual-sport, on-and-off-road bike, and a glance at the Tiger Sport 660’s street tires shows it’s a street bike.

The adventure with the Tiger Sport 660 is in its versatility as a middle-weight bike that can fulfill many needs. From urban commuting to touring, popping from one coffee shop to the next, the Tiger Sport 660 is an undemanding ride. Its water-cooled 660cc three-cylinder engine is rated at 81 horsepower, but even more important, the motor delivers more than 90% of its peak 64 Nm of torque throughout its range, according to Triumph.

The Tiger Sport 660 has a 10,000-mile maintenance interval, which should keep costs low.

Why another LiveWire S2 model?

The S2 Alpinista is the third LiveWire electric motorcycle variant built on the S2 platform. This model's 17-inch wheels and tires distinguish it from the Se Del Mar, which has 19-inch wheels and tires, is LiveWire's street tracker model.

Suzuki's 2025 motorcycle lineup includes a redesigned chassis, frame, and a new 398cc engine for the midsize 2025 DR-Z4S DualSport bike. Rider assistance features enhance the DR-Z4's handling and stability on and off the road, extending adventures for riders of all experience levels.
Why a dual-purpose motorcycle makes sense

The desire to own several types of motorcycles must be a universal characteristic for bikers, but budget, storage space, and family harmony often restrict us to a single machine. So, unless you have a very narrow riding interest, such as off-road only on hilly desert terrain or ultra long-distance highway touring, the most practical type of motorcycle is a dual-purpose model, often called an adventure bike.
