Hi, I've had three of these big bikes. Two I still have. Plus I had a 900 before any of the 1200's. I have a blue 2002 model I bought from new which now has 80k on the clock. I also bought a grey 2003 model with 9k on the clock as I knew Triumph had discontinued the model and I wanted to ensure that the bikes outlasted me. That one is in storage ...  Read the complete review

Big bike, silent, fast. Lousy brakes (wear out quickly) fork dive, rear end hops when pressed. Triumph really messed up with the seating position. Noone seems to want to say the bike is so uncomfortable that you don't WANT to ride it more than a couple of minutes, Anyone who says it fits them is an anatomical anomaly or a liar: The bars are too ...  Read the complete review

I own the 2001 version of this bike. The 1200cc 4 cylinder motor sure does pack a punch. It can out perform most bikes on the road. It is a great tourer and commuter especially if the full luggage set is installed. This consists of two panniers and the optional top box. I have the triumph panniers but the top box I have is made by ...  Read the complete review

The best grand-prix type tourer (99 words)

This motorcycle outdoes any other that I have ridden. Acceleration from 30 to 60 or from 20 to 50 can be smooth, without any noticeability that you are accelerating. Handling on a corner is superb if you lean and shift your hips a little. The suspension is faultless. Mileage is 10 miles to a litre for less than 40 mph. I have felt no ...  Read the complete review

In 2002, as a 35 year old male who always wanted the thrill only available from a motorcycle I decided to take my test. On completion I promptly went to my local bike dealer and bought a Suzuki SV650S. To me it was lightning fast, big.....and the first step into the world of bikes. One year later I embarked on a 3 week solo trip from Northern ...  Read the complete review

Many years ago, about 1979 in fact, JJ Burnel, the bass guitarist of The Stranglers, released a solo album entitled Euroman Cometh. On that album there is a track called Triumph (Of The Good City), it is completely instrumental, however, as a backdrop throughout the song is the sound of a motorbike being gently revved. The motorbike in ...  Read the complete review

Late last year, I had the opportunity to trial a new Trophy 1200 for about two weeks to do a run across Australia, what a gloriously comfortable ride it was. The seating position was perfect for me, not that I am tall, in fact I am a mere 5’9”. Anyway, the fuel economy was excellent, noise? what noise, it was so quite I nearly fell ...  Read the complete review
