General Comments
The Triumph Tiger 110 649 cc single carb gave good fuel economy, easy to maintain by owner-rider. Known as the single carb 'bonnie' later models had a cradle frame which greatly improved the handling. In the 60's they were often refured to as the 'instant whip' after a food prodict of the same name, due to the fact the single downtube frame used to flex when cornering. T110's could just about out perform a BSA Road Rocket in a straight line but lost it round bends, there was a lot of banter between Triump & BSA riders, but the truth is the Triumph had the better motor & BSA had the frame & cycle parts, those days were the last when British bikes showed the world how to do it, the technology did't move with the times & we sadly got left behind, it was great while it lasted though.
