Well - Triumph has build their ADV models Tiger in different configurations but all with inline 3 cylindered engines for almost 20 years and heaps of people has used their Tigers for overlanding and ADV trips.
I had a Tiger 955i and that engine was a pearl. Predictable strong linear power all through the rpm range. Not something you can say about all other engines in so called ADV bikes…
Another thing is that it was waaay to heavy and top heavy to be taken on a trip through a third world area…..
But nothing wrong with the engine. Actually I tried my mates T7 lst summer and he asked me what I thought about the bike and I said it reminds a lot of my Tiger 955i both engine wise and riding wise. T7 is a bit lighter of course but still….
An inline 3 cylinder engine would be great for an overlanding bike but the possible problem would be that it easily would become to heavy for a bike that should be capable to be taken on bad roads and conditions…
