1997 Triumph Trophy 900 review from Belgium
"Great bike with superb design"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong up till now. Although there is a slight sound in the engine, which according to a Triumph specialist appears to be a broken bolt in the alternator.
Appears to be a common problem in the 900 engines from Triumph. Can be fixed, but requires the engine to be opened.
General comments?
Comfort is great, I really love this bike, and the design is superb. Would definitely take another Triumph.
Eager to test the Rocket III. Completely other style, but such a great bike it looks to me.
It has a fantastic torque, giving it power at any speed and RPM. Open the throttle and you just keep on accelerating, just great.
And the best part is that - although the bike looks heavy - it is very maneuverable. I started with this bike, being it my first ever, and it handles as easy as if you you've been riding for ages.
