Good morning and thank you for providing an online form for issues with motor vehicles. The vehicle in question is a new motorcycle. I have found that I am often tailgated or followed closely by other motor vehicles on local roads and the interstate. I drive at, or near, the speed limit at these times. While no crashes have occurred, this problem has always occurred with this vehicle. I note that all the rear lights work (driving and brake lights). Yesterday I compared the speedometer reading against phone applications such as Waze, Apple Maps, and Google Maps. The speedometer reads 9-10 higher than the actual speed that I am going. This is the reason why traffic is often held up as I am driving far slower than indicated. I Googled this problem and found that many owners of this brand of motorcycle have the same issue and that the maker, Triumph, is aware of it and states that it is normal. This is unacceptable to me, hence my complaint. The importers of this motorcycle: Triumph Motorcycles America 1070 White St SW, Suite B Atlanta, GA 30310
2024 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
