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.

Maserati refreshes its entire lineup for the 2027 model year

A more powerful engine, a new front end, and several features now available as standard

Maserati's 2027 lineup of vehicles

A new face, a luxury touch on everything you interact with, and a not insignificant power boost to one of the most interesting V6 engines on the planet. These are the highlights of Maserati’s 2027 lineup. Though it’s technically a bit of a mid-cycle refresh, no new vehicles are being released, there are still some notable differences between the upcoming Maseratis and their 2026 equivalents. It’s Maserati’s biggest string of updates since last year’s MCPura launch, with several supercar-inspired tweaks making their way to the likes of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio both benefit from an extra 40 horsepower, with the 3-liter V6 Nettuno engine under the hood now pumping out 582 horsepower at its peak. Overall responsiveness of the engine and transmission has been improved too, due to an updated calibration, and the sound-boosting Sportivo exhaust now comes as standard with all ICE Maseratis. Both vehicles, along with the Folgore, also come with a more aggressive front end. The reworked air intakes arguably stand out most on the new fascia, though the large front splitter and “shark nose” styling are both very apparent.

Antonelli proves to be human after all as Hamilton takes the win in Barcelona

Hamilton leads an all British F1 podium on Sunday

Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

If you woke up early enough today, you may have been able to catch the Formula 1 Grand Prix that took place in Barcelona today. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is another special entrance into the Formula 1 race schedule for 2026 because, while being in a wonderfully picturesque location, it has been a part of the circuit for three decades. Now, while this is the first year it carries the name of The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, it has been home to a slew of special moments and has landed two big moments yet again this year. First things first, Lewis Hamilton took home his first win on the track. It was his first win in two years, and it did a lot to help Ferrari cut into Mercedes' lead in the standings by ending their win streak. Today also finally brought youngster Kimi Antonelli down to Earth as he failed to finish, along with six other drivers. Antonelli's teammate, George Russell, was able to put Mercedes on the podium, which brings me to the second important thing taking place in today's race. With McLaren's Lando Norris taking third place, the trio of Hamilton, Russell, and Norris gives us the first all-British podium since 1968.
