The Triumph Tiger Trail was a dual purpose motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles at the Meriden factory from 1981 to 1982, in 750 cc (TR7T) and 650 cc (TR65T) versions, with under 180 examples built. Triumph made it at the request of its French importers for a large capacity dual purpose machine to compete with the BMW R80G/S. Director of engineering Brian Jones based it on the 750 cc TR7V Tiger with a single Amal carburettor and Lucas electronic ignition, lowering the compression to give 42 bhp and fitting camshaft profiles from the Triumph Trident, which cut about 25 pounds to a dry weight of 375 pounds. Emission rules barred export to the USA. It was shown at the 1980 Paris motorcycle show, won the 750 cc and above class of the Rallye des Pyrenees in June 1981, and was dropped in late 1982 after poor sales.
