The TR7 Tiger 750 is a Triumph in the traditional style - lively, gutsy, tractable, and with the handling bred of a whole basket-full of production race victories. It was called the TR7 in 1978/9 and the TR7V in 1980 but these were effectively the same model. There was a gap in production from the first year (1973) until it was re-started in 1975.
