2000 Triumph Adventurer review from United States of America
"This is a well balanced road cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
No problems so far. The motorcycle has shown signs of long storage/ new machine. It looks as if it has just come out of the factory.
General comments?
The motorcycle is a good re-introduction to motorcycling after a 30 year lay off. It is exactly what I was looking for.
It has comparative power to my old BMW, 70bhp.
It is a well behaved machine with good handling and excellently balanced brakes.
It tops out at around 120mph. Speeds over 75mph are somewhat painful these days.
It is distinctive, and turns heads whenever I ride it in Florida.
I have just ridden about 350 miles this weekend.
30 years ago, I would not have considered a Triumph. The product and company was problematical. Hence the purchase of the BMW. Today it is a different story.
