With little more than some dusty old laurel wreaths for credibility here in the USA, this revived and revamped English company is on the move, with places to go and bikes to build.
Triumph have some serious plans for our future.
For 1996 they have widened their market appeal by creating a real tourer out of the Trophy 900. The DOHC, three cylinder Trophy has metamorphosed completely into this new touring model. Triumph redesigned the fairing and side panels for better wind protection and hi-speed stability, and sleekly integrated the hard saddlebags, fitted as standard equipment. A glance at the front fender will reveal the details added after weeks in the wind tunnel. Claiming more efficient engine heat dispersal, Triumph plumbed some eye-grabbing vents thru the fairing behind the radiator, and added two intakes on each flank of the front fairing, which duct cool air through to the rider's legs.
