TRIUMPH 250 TIGER CUB!?! Triumph 250 Tiger Cub. Never seen one? Triumph made Tiger Cub singles in the '60s, but not this one. That's because it's really a 2009 Suzuki TU250X, made in Japan. It's the perfect around town commuter. And it's 180 pounds lighter than my Bonneville! The standard riding position allows my 6' 2", 225 # body to stretch out - no knees in the air or goofy pull-backs - but it fits a 5' 2" rider well also. When I bought the bike, it had a dent on the right side of the tank, (but no paint loss). I was looking for a way to cover it up. For fun, I tried an old pair of Triumph badges, and then added Bonneville headlight brackets, fork boots, turn signals, taillight, even stock reflectors. I shortened the rear seat with a Triumph seat cover, added an old '60s Bonnie muffler, and to silence (or further piss-off) the critics, put Triumph emblems over the left and right engine covers. It's an air-cooled, electric start, fuel-injected single with easy to adjust valves. I regularly get over 70mpg, nearly 200 miles on a tank. It has fresh tires and chain, and a recent oil change, and runs like it looks - great! Everything works as it should. Stock muffler and some other parts included. Parts and service available from your nearby Suzuki dealer, as are new (but unchanged) 2016 TU250Xs for $4399. Again, it 's a Suzuki, NOT A TRIUMPH. (Nor is it some off-brand made in China or India that you can't get parts for.) If you're looking for a smaller bike that's a fun and easy to maintain commuter, and that doesn't look like anything else, what else is there? Please ask questions before bidding, not afterwards. The Suzuki is sold as-is, where-is. It is titled and insured to me. It is in the Los Angeles area, and shipping/delivery is the buyer's responsibility. A non-refundable $100 Paypal deposit is due within 24 hours, with balance due in cash on pickup within 7 days.
