The Appeal

The Triumph Tiger T110 was a British motorcycle produced by Triumph from 1953 to 1961. It was an evolution of the Triumph 6T Thunderbird and was designed as a high-performance version of the 650cc twin-cylinder engine. It was one of the fastest motorcycles of its time, often used in competitive racing and endurance events

Sleek. Powerful. Unapologetically British. The 1961 Triumph Tiger 110 “Bathtub” is more than a classic—it’s a legend on two wheels.

With its mighty 650cc parallel twin engine, the Tiger 110 was Triumph’s performance king before the Bonneville stole the spotlight. Designed for riders who demanded serious speed with smooth, reliable torque, the T110 quickly earned a reputation for being fast, tough, and beautifully built.

This particular model features the iconic full rear enclosure – lovingly dubbed the “bathtub” – giving it a uniquely bold, curvy silhouette that turns heads and starts conversations wherever it goes.
