Looking for Info on the Triumph Trophy?

[BravoCharlie]

Hi Guys,

looking for some information following the Triumph Trophy, or if you would recommend anything similar. i've saw a few decent examples on ebay for the late 90's models and they look nice enough, but i don't know much about Triumphs other than their Bonnevilles.

i'm going to buy a second bike in the next 2/3 weeks and was originally going for a cruiser (personal preference, does not mean i like Toby ) - but all of them seem to be going up in price as the days go on - so i'm thinking about maybe a tourer/commuter style bike.

i got surgery on my back in december there so i need something upright as opposed to sports, which is annoying as insurance permits me to be able to afford a thundercat...

anyway. i will have a budget of £1600 to buy something, ideally cheaper but i'm comfortable around £1600.

sorry for waffling, but any pointers would be good.

cheers!

Bro has the 900 (96), only thing apart from normal oil, tyres chain etc... was talk of the sprag being in good nick, pain in the arse if not on some dependant on age to get fixed. Needs a good battery.

Easily cruised along "during a test" at around 90 - 100 I hd a job keeping up on the old nacked, didn't accelerate as quick but way more than useable. Not too dear either, just saw one go for £650 without lower fairings

Moderately heavy bike - maybe not the thing just after back surgery. Still, very good bikes for distance work.

Sounds like a bus and pulls like a train.

Sit at 100, any faster and buffets due to the screen.

Loads of luggage space in panniers.

Pain in ass to tighten chain as exhausts have to come off first.

Maybe go for an older BMW F650. Saw a nice cheapish red one on ebay yesterday which looked good value.

[Whosthedaddy]

Nope, just the sound so engine and pipes.

Comfy to ride and piss easy to ride slow on.
