1996 Triumph Trophy 1200 review from United States of America
"Best used sport tourer for the money, maybe just period"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Fouled plugs.
I finally wore out the stock head bearings.
Fuel starvation.
General comments?
I love this bike. The motor is bullet proof, it handles well and stops even better. The resale is terrible - since you can only buy used now, all the better.
