I'm the same way. I don't want to crash a $10,000 adventure bike, when I can ride a $3500 DR650 for dirt and then have a more street oriented sport tourer like the Tiger 1050 Sport.

Bummer. The 115-130 horsepower range is perfect for me; it is just fast enough to be fun, without needing traction control to keep me out of trouble.

I hope your dealer is wrong, or that Triumph can be persuaded to change their mind. I'm either buying a Tiger 1050 Sport or a KTM 990 SMT. If Triumph won't import the bike I want, my hands are tied.

Sprint / Tiger Hybrid = Tiger Sport?

I was just thinking about this today... Triumph discontinues both the 1050 Tiger and the 1050 Sprint, only to come out with a more "street oriented" Tiger. Is Triumph just shooting for the middle,...

That's fair. Most of my miles are on paved roads going 45-80 mph. If I was cruising country / dirt roads at 50 mph, I would have found the bike more enjoyable.
