EICMA 2013: Triumph Tiger 800XC SE

This special edition 2014 Triumph Tiger 800XC is a real looker. The new Volcanic Black paint is highlighted by red metallic highlights while the fire-red frame grabs your attention. Exhaust heat shields and  pillion grab rails are also black.

Looking after number 1

There was a time when a rider’s number indicated his position from the previous season, with the ultimate accolade being the number 1 emblazoned on the front of the champion's bike. The rise of branding in MotoGP and a rider wanting to market themselves, born from Barry Sheene and his retention of no.7, saw riders decide against displaying their finish from the year before. Rossi, who on winning his numerous championships, stuck with his famous #46 in defence of his titles, instead of stamping a great number 1 on his bikes.
