Hi. Current Trophy 900 owner here. After 22 years and: DT50 RXS100 RD200 CD175 NVT125 CZ175 x 2 CB250RS CBX550F XJ600 FZR400EXUP Z750 ltd Bandit 600 Bandit 1200 XS650 - actually a Halco 840 with a sprung front end and a JMC swinging arm. KLE500 MZ250 x 3 KR1s GSX1100f R80ST K75RT K100RS K75S R1100GS R100RT Transalp PD06 Trophy.......... Having had a couple of triples i the K format, and riding a mates T160 and his ST 955i i did know about the 'rightness' of a triple. Alas, that rightness translates as an ever enthusiastic throttle hand which is leading me to a Twin again. So you can see, my search for a 'keeper' is long. What I realise I want, is an SR500 with more torque and more power, but still in that format. That narrows it down to either Harleys or a Bonneville/Speedmaster. BTW T160 is the maddest, best sounding motorcycle engine on tickover I have ever heard. Then when opened up through Raygun silencers with 5* petrol sourced....
Hello and welcome to the forum M0rt. I understand that you have a really nice Trophy, which is weird as I almost brought one that looked very similar :wink: Post photos when you get a chance. Cheers Steve
Yeah....really sorry about that. I *love* the T300 and I really did intend to keep it, but a ride out yesterday had me grinning from ear to ear and being far too eager on the throttle. I need something with a low down power delivery that keeps me @ sane riding. Doesn't matter how often I tell myself that I will keep it down...
Welcome and shame on you that there are not more Triumphs in you history. You will love the Trophy as tripples are the best, BMWs, my there is some agricultural engines in your bunch, I had a 1200RT, great for eating up the miles and not bad handling but rubbish engine and terrible gearbox with the usual clunk between 1 and 2 My Sprint ST that I sold two years ago is still my all time fave So again welcome and enjoy Col
