... much better than the 1200 four. Add on 10 mpg for the 900 against the 1200. (45-55 for the 900). I coaxed the 900 back from North Wales to Essex at the height of the fuel strikes, in 2000 I think it was. A very long slow ride. The 1200 would never have made it. Once the 900 is past the rev problem it goes a treat. Motorway cuising is no problem for one of these. It embarasses me now to think how fast I went along on it - my first Trophy.

This is the true essence of what a sport touring motorcycle should be. I have owned a 1996 Triumph Trophy 900 for a couple of years now and I just love the bike. It is easy to pack up and take off on long trips. Half the fun of riding the 900 triple model is the sound of the engine. I sounds just like an exotic european supercar. It is guaranteed to turn heads wherever you ride it. The bike is just so smooth to ride down the highway. Buy carefully though.

The bike couldn't have any more character when compared to other bikes. ... Read the complete review
