Well, it is a great bike - reliable at all times - hot summer, rain, cold winter - it always kicks ass. I just miss a little bit more HP.... |

For it`s time, it was a very impressive piece of machinery! I recall being a passenger on one 2 weeks after my accident! I was still in a shoulder sling because i`d broken my collar-bone in 3 places, shattered my knees,etc......! But WOW, it hugged the road beautifully dispite doing 160 KM`s! Those were the days!

I had a cousin that introduced me to riding back then (1980) and he had one with the standard 5 also. those older air cooled inline 4`s from Honda and Yamaha were built like tanks and were amazingly reliable,even when run low on oil!!

The Trophy is a 1200cc inline four cylinder,it was discontinued in 2003,but there are rumors of a replacement in the works. Triumph called this color Sunset Red,but most everyone else calls it Maroon!!
The Rocket 3`s are a beast,but handle better than any 2.3 (no mis-type there) liter motorcycle should be allowed. The Thunderbirds are great,I have ridden one before. This is my 3rd Triumph,I had 2 Sprint ST`s before this.
The Daytona`s for 09 are going to be even better than the previous models with a host of refinements aimed at the racetrack. They should be hiting the dealers about now.
The Bonneville`s are something that I was urprised that Triumph didn`t bring back when they first got back into biz back around 1990,very cool bikes,nothing quite like a new retro model .
like I said in the post ,it is a freight train rolling,amazingly stable at any speed and handles very well for a touring bike. It may not be the most beautiful or the coolest bike out there,but it does what it should in and then some!!!! |

**Drools** you own a Triumph... That's so awesome. I myself don't own a bike but i do have my learners permit for a motorbike, so i guess thats something. I have always dreamed of owning a bike. I'm selling my car before the end of the year so i think i shall invest in a motorbike as replacement.
By the way how many cc's is that beast??.. she's a real beauty
